Ishaan Khatter Believes Homebound Is Not A Failure Despite Poor Box Office Collection, Says ‘It Is Going To Have Long Life…’

Ishaan Khatter starrer Homebound received huge acclaim from the critics and the audience, but it could not succeed in terms of box office numbers. The film hit the Indian Cinemas after it premiered at International film festivals. Despite so much praise, Homebound had earned Rs 5 crore at the box office. But Ishan Khatter still feels that the movie is not a failure. Why so? He stated that every film has a different journey and Homebound will have a long life.

In an interview with PTI, Ishaan Khatter said, “I don't think this film is a failure. I think films have different journeys. As far as the box office is concerned, I think this film is going to have a long life. And this is not coming from a place of... I'm not trying to be deluded or in denial about the box office. I know the numbers very well. Our hope is to have it reach as many people as possible. And I'm not going to let up in my efforts in that.”

“One does hope for a time where films like these will also see the kind of numbers that you see a big commercial blockbuster having, because that would change things. It would create a kind of culture where films like these are allowed to exist and thrive and be made much more. Unfortunately, you see a rare film like this every once in a while. And in order to change that, the audience has to become an active participant, almost like a stakeholder,” he added.
