Homebound Trailer: Finally, the much-awaited trailer of Homebound starring Janhvi Kapoor, Ishaan Khatter, and Vishal Jethwa, is here. Directed by Masaan filmmaker Neeraj Ghaywan, the film created waves at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). From receiving a standing ovation to clinching the second runner-up spot for the prestigious International People's Choice Award, Homebound has already made its mark. The story revolves around two childhood friends from a small North Indian village who aspire to join the police force, a job that promises them the dignity they've long been denied due to caste discrimination. Backed by Dharma Productions, the film unfolds a gripping tale of friendship against all odds and the price of ambition.
