‘Homebound’, directed by Neeraj Ghaywan, has recently earned a prestigious honor. The Film Federation of India (FFI) selected the movie as India’s official entry for the 2026 Oscars in the Best International Feature Film category.
Earlier on Monday, the team held a press conference in Mumbai. Ishaan Khatter, co-star Vishal, and director Neeraj Ghaywan spoke about the film and their journey.

‘Homebound’ tells the story of two childhood friends from a small North Indian village who aspire to become police officers. Their pursuit of this dream promises respect and dignity. It also tests their friendship as they face challenges and mounting pressures along the way.
The movie has already gained international recognition, having been screened at major film festivals, including the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), and the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM).
Indian audiences won’t have to wait long to see ‘Homebound’ on the big screen. The film is ready for a nationwide release on September 26.
