Johar has ceaselessly expressed how deeply personal the film’s journey has been. In September, ahead of its release, he posted a heartfelt note reflecting on the film’s path across international festivals. He wrote:
“Once I began my journey of telling stories and producing motion pictures… my biggest reason was to empower filmmakers and make them sell their dreams and ideologies to cinegoers across the globe… I dreamt of constructing movies that cross borders, cultures and continents … manifestation won… thoughts became a movie… that movie is HOMEBOUND…. Neeraj Ghaywan is an auteur with a beating heart and a searching soul… he’s the soul and all of HOMEBOUND… he told this story in probably the most emotionally wealthy way and I’m humbled, grateful and privileged to give you the option to proudly state that I’m the producer of this magnificent movie!!
We’re deeply grateful to @festivaldecannes @tiff_net @iffmelbourne @filmfederationofindia (we’re proud to be India’s official selection to the Oscars)… we’ve travelled the world and are finally releasing in our homeland tomorrow… twenty sixth September… #HOMEBOUND tomorrow releases worldwide.”
Homebound has already screened at among the world’s most prestigious festivals, including Cannes, TIFF, and IFF Melbourne, and continues to be considered one of India’s most celebrated global titles of the yr.
