There are stories that entertain you, and then there are stories that stay with you, making a place in your heart after a lot of discomfort. When I watched Neeraj Ghaywan’s Masaan for the first time, I just broke down when Vicky Kaushal said, “Ye Saala Dukh Kam Kaahe Nahi Hota.” Many years later, Ishaan Khatter in Homebound by the same director makes me tear up yet again as he says, “Ye mitti, hawa, raste, dost-yaar, apni zubaan, yahi to ghar hai hamara, ab isko chhod ke kaise jaayein!”
The film tells the story of three young people who come from the marginalised section of the society and try to make their space in the upper class. The only way they feel this can be done is qualifying an exam for the police services. But not every dream translates into reality or do they? The trailer hints at their struggles as they share a heartwarming bond of friendship that holds them together during the testing times!
Neeraj Ghaywan brings a heart-tearing story that surely aims to make you feel uncomfortable and break down, but it is a story that needs to be told. Homebound trailer features Vishal Jethwa as Chandan, who says, “Cement ki chhat wala ghar banayenge, vardi pehen ke baithenge chhat par. Log salute thokenge humko,” and you root for Chandan to win.
