Once in a while from the mainstream Hindi cinema establishment comes a film like Homebound that leaves a gaping hole in your heart. Backed by a brilliant ensemble cast, poignant dialogues, masterly cinematography, editing and writing, Homebound is a winner in every possible way. It shows a country that we all know too well but don’t want to admit or recognise. Cinema amplifies the truth though and when you encounter it on the big screen, it shakes your conscience and you are left wondering if you too are complicit in this systemic discrimination of the marginalised that the film portrays with such nuance.

Homebound is akin to a mirror that we don’t wish to face fearing the tough questions it will provoke. Directed by Neeraj Ghaywan and India’s official entry for the Best International Feature Film category at the Oscars........
