Homebound Oscars shortlist:
India’s *Homebound* is officially turning heads worldwide. The Neeraj Ghaywan‑directed drama, starring Ishaan Khatter, Vishal Jethwa & Janhvi Kapoor, has made it to the Top 15 shortlist for Best International Feature Film at the Oscars.
Based on a true story, the film dives deep into friendship, struggle, caste, and identity, delivering performances that hit hard and linger long after the credits roll. It already wowed audiences at Cannes, earning a nine-minute standing ovation, proving its emotional weight before awards chatter even began.
Now, with the Oscars shortlist in hand, Homebound is officially on the global radar. Bollywood stars, including Shah Rukh Khan, have praised it as honest and soulful, and it’s easy to see why — this isn’t just awards bait, it’s storytelling that connects universally.
Whether it lands a final nomination or not, making the shortlist is a victory in itself — for the cast, crew, and Indian cinema as a whole. If you haven’t watched it yet, now’s the perfect time to experience the film that’s got the world talking.—
