About ‘Homebound’
Directed by Neeraj Ghaywan, ‘Homebound’ revolves around the best friends, who see being in a police uniform as the only way to escape from the boundaries of religion and caste during the times of lockdown, and a shield against discrimination. Based on Kashmiri journalist Basharat Peer’s column in The New York Times titled ‘Taking Amrit Home’, the film, which is India’s official entry for the Best International Feature Film category at the Academy Awards, gives a contemporary look at socio-political issues.
The cast and review
Other than the aforementioned acclaimed actors, the film stars Reem Shaikh, Shalini Vatsa, Chandan K Anand, Vijay Vikram Singh, and Harshika Parmar. “Homebound raises many questions. How did we get here? What has made us so bereft of empathy and compassion? A soul-stirring observation of a world growing cold, this is filmmaking at its finest,” according to ETimes review.
