Homebound Defies Odds, Earns Big Despite Stiff Competition

As of October 5th, 2025, the Janhvi Kapoor, Ishaan Khatter, and Vishal Jethwa-starrer Homebound continues to impress at the box office despite facing stiff competition. Directed by Neeraj Ghaywan, the niche Hindi drama earned ₹25 lakhs on its second Saturday, a remarkable 92% jump compared to the ₹13 lakhs it garnered on the previous Friday.

The film's performance is particularly noteworthy given the three-way clash it is facing at the ticket windows, competing with the releases of Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, Jolly LLB 3, and Kantara Chapter 1. Yet, Homebound has managed to maintain a steady flow of footfalls, showcasing its appeal to audiences.

After 9 days, the net box office collection of Homebound in India has reached around ₹2.83 crores, with the gross total, including GST, amounting to ₹3.33 crores. This achievement is even more impressive as the film has surpassed the lifetime collections of 4 Bollywood releases from 2025, outperforming titles like Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan, Kesari Veer, Kapkapiii, and Nikita Roy.

Homebound is now chasing the box office success of Superboys Of Malegaon, which concluded its run at ₹5.32 crores. Given the film's niche subject matter, it is expected to gain more recognition and appreciation on OTT platforms, following the path of other critically acclaimed films like Laapataa Ladies.
