Producer Karan Johar took to social media to express his gratitude and wrote, “I am not sure I can articulate how proud, elated and over the moon I am with the journey of #HOMEBOUND… all of us @dharmamovies are privileged to have this proud and important film in our filmography … thank you @neeraj.ghaywan for making so many dreams of ours come true… from Cannes to being on the Oscar shortlist this has been such an overwhelming journey! Love to the entire cast and crew and teams of this special special film!!!!!!!!! Upwards and onwards…….. #HOMEBOUND streaming now on @netflix_in (sic).”
Neeraj Ghaywan, and the cast Ishaan Khatter, Janhvi Kapoor and Vishal Jethwa, too, got quite emotional. Congratulatory messages also poured in from people across the industry, including Farah Khan, Aditi Rao Hydari, Zoya Akhtar, Guneet Monga and more.
Homebound is inspired by Basharat Peer’s 2020 New York Times article and was released in India on September 26, 2025. It follows childhood friends Shoaib (Ishaan) and Chandan (Vishal), whose shared dream of joining the police force shapes their lives, with Janhvi adding emotional depth to a story grounded in friendship, duty, and the pressures facing young India.
