Before hitting the big screens in India, Homebound was screened at many international film festivals. It also won multiple awards, and always received a standing ovation. Even at the Oscars 2026, it was one of 15 films shortlisted.
Homebound Box Office Collection
Homebound received amazing reviews from the critics. But, when it comes to box office, the film failed to make a mark. It only collected Rs. 4.85 crore.
We are sure Homebound team would be very disappointed that their film couldn't make it to the nominations.
