Disappointing Start For India’s Oscar Contender “Homebound”

Hindi film “Homebound,” India’s official Oscar entry in the Best International Feature Film category, is directed by Neeraj Ghaywan and stars Ishaan Khatter, Vishal Jethwa, and Janhvi Kapoor. Despite positive reviews and premieres at Cannes and Toronto, it earned just ₹0 lakhs on opening day, with limited awareness and minimal promotion affecting its start.
