Join us as we close out the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne 2025 with the Cannes-acclaimed triumph, Homebound.

After his internationally acclaimed and National Award-winning Masaan (2015), Neeraj Ghaywan returns with the emotionally poignant Homebound - a powerful exploration of identity and friendship. With gripping performances from Ishaan Khatter, Vishal Jethwa, and Janhvi Kapoor, this unforgettable film is a fitting finale to an equally memorable edition of the festival.

Homebound follows two childhood friends from a small village in North India who dream of becoming police officers, hoping the job will bring them the respect they never had. However, as they come closer to their goal, pressure and struggles create problems in their friendship.

Homebound is co-presented by the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne and MIFF.
