Homebound, the critically acclaimed Hindi drama directed by Neeraj Ghaywan, has been officially selected as India’s entry for the Best International Feature Film category at the 98th Academy Awards.
The film has also been shortlisted by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences as one of the contenders moving forward in the awards process.
The film, starring Ishaan Khatter, Vishal Jethwa and Janhvi Kapoor, was chosen by the Film Federation of India from a competitive list of 24 submissions this year, securing its place as the nation’s representative on cinema’s biggest global stage.
Homebound has already earned international recognition following its premiere in the Un Certain Regard section at the 78th Cannes Film Festival, where it received a nine‑minute standing ovation from audiences.
The Oscars will be held on the 15th of March next year.
