About Homebound
Homebound is a 2025 Indian film starring Ishaan Khatter as Mohammed Shoaib Ali and Vishal Jethwa as Chandan Kumar, two childhood friends from a small north Indian town who dream of joining the police force as an escape from poverty and social discrimination.
Their strong bond is tested by career setbacks, personal struggles, and the backdrop of the first COVID-19 lockdown, which forces them to make a dangerous journey back home on foot. The film also features Janhvi Kapoor as Sudha, Chandan's love interest. The film is produced by Karan Johar, Adar Poonawalla, Apoorva Mehta, and Somen Mishra.
This film deeply highlights how racial and religious differences affect individuals and their aspirations. The enduring bond between Chandan and Shoaib is a central focus, as it is tested by external challenges and internal conflicts. The film also comments on systemic failures and the devastating impact of the pandemic, which puts many at risk.
Where to watch Homebound on OTT?
As per the official posters of the film, Homebound will land on Netflix after its theatrical run. Typically, movies are released on OTT platforms eight weeks after their theatrical premiere. Therefore, Homebound could be available digitally in November 2025.
The OTTplay review for Homebound stated that the film isn’t a war cry or a demand for rebellion. It’s gentler but just as powerful: a call for empathy, for treating people with dignity regardless of caste, class, or religion.
It also said that the film is a reminder of the privileges we often overlook and a plea to make the world better for those who’ve never had the luxury of choice. "It’s not an easy film to watch—but it shouldn’t be. Neeraj Ghaywan holds up a mirror, and what you see may not be flattering. But if you’re willing to sit with that discomfort, Homebound will stay with you long after you leave the theatre," it further read.
