Several memories of the friends who shared the rehearsal space come up and they get caught up in the moment. They are seen struggling with their past and looking for second chances. The trailer beautifully captures the theatre scene of Kolkata and looks all colourful and vibrant with the backdrop of Durga Pujo.

The film marks the directorial debut of the producer Majumdar. The film gives a cosmopolitan touch with dialogues in Bengali, Hindi and English so that it appeals to audiences across geographies. The film, presented by Soumyajit Majumdar Collaborations, is a Lok production. #Homecoming was also selected for NFDC Lab in 2019. It boasts of a multi-award-winning crew.

Director Soumyajit said in a statement that the film has a 'dream team' with more than 30 talented actors from Bollywood and Tollywood as part of an ensemble. It's a national and international award-winning crew that is the driving force behind his first film #Homecoming, he said, adding, "This musical was a lifetime experience for all of us. The love and passion of the misfits towards the film will reflect on the screen. Reunions, friendships and comebacks have found a home in #Homecoming.”

Actor Sayani Gupta added that the feature is special to her too for many reasons. She got to work in Kolkata finally, with her old friends and she said she has made new ones too. "Soumyajit is a force to reckon with and I am so happy I could be part of his debut film. This film has been made with immense love and undeniable passion and I hope it's able to reach as many people as possible," she said in her statement adding a bit about her character. She plays the role of Sri. "Sri is love. She is the woman you cannot look past and get over. You will know what I mean when you watch the film,” she said.

Plabita Borthakur too said that the cast and crew have made it a special project. This was her first time shooting in Kolkata too. "I was excited about it since I read the script and when it all came together, it was beautiful. I love my character Nargis, she's a lot like me. I was a little nervous about the poetry bit though,” she said about her character.

The feature #Homecoming is releasing on SonyLIV on February 18.
