Neeraj Ghaywan’s film “Homebound” has advanced to the next stage in the International Feature Film category for the 98th Academy Awards. This selection marks a significant milestone for the film, which stars Ishaan Khatter and Vishal Jethwa, as it is among the 15 films eligible for final nominations at the Oscars 2026. According to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), films from 86 countries or regions were considered for this prestigious category. “Homebound” stands out alongside notable contenders such as Argentina’s “Belen,” Brazil’s “The Secret Agent,” France’s “It Was Just an Accident,” and Germany’s “Sound of Falling.” Dharma Productions, the film’s official production banner, announced this achievement on Instagram on Wednesday, highlighting the growing recognition of Indian cinema on the global stage. This development not only amplifies the film’s visibility but also underscores India’s expanding footprint in international filmmaking.
