India’s Official Entry for Best International Feature Film at the 98th Academy Awards®
“Excellent lead performances… An emotionally rich study of friendship.”
- The Guardian
Synopsis: Inspired by a true story first published in The New York Times, Homebound follows two friends — one Dalit and the other Muslim — on a journey across a country that often refuses to see them. It is the story of their search for dignity and belonging, for the simple grace of being treated as human.
Through their eyes, the film becomes a mirror to our times: reflecting the quiet cruelties of caste, the everyday wounds of faith-based prejudice, and the relentless struggle for work that drives migration and survival. Their journey, marked by resilience and tenderness, lays bare the fractures and fragile hopes that define contemporary India.
At its heart, Homebound is a cry for empathy — a reminder that home is not merely a place, but a feeling we carry within, and build between one another.
