According to Variety, 'Homebound' revolves around two childhood friends from a small North Indian village who chase a police job that promises them the dignity they've long been denied. However, as they inch closer to their dream, mounting desperation threatens the bond that holds them together. Director Neeraj Ghaywan described 'Homebound' as 'a deeply personal story about friendship, dignity, and survival.' 'It's about people who are often unseen, and the quiet strength they carry in a world that rarely pauses for them,' said the director, adding that he hopes the film 'helps us look closer–with empathy–and see what we've been conditioned to ignore.' Legendary filmmaker Martin Scorsese serves as an executive producer on the film
