Neeraj Ghaywan’s Homebound, starring Ishaan Khatter, Vishal Jethwa, and Janhvi Kapoor, continues its steady run at the box office as it enters its fourth week in theatres. Despite facing tough competition from newer releases, the film’s slow and stable trajectory showcases the power of strong storytelling and critical acclaim in sustaining audience interest
By the end of Day 21, Homebound had earned an estimated ₹4.20–₹4.25 crore (net) in India, with daily earnings hovering between ₹10–15 lakh. On its 22nd day, the film reportedly collected around ₹8–12 lakh (net), taking its cumulative total to approximately ₹4.28–₹4.35 crore. The figures, though modest, highlight the film’s consistent performance given its limited release and niche appeal.
Released across roughly 200–225 screens, Homebound was never designed as a box office juggernaut. Instead, its strength lies in its emotional depth, grounded performances, and the relatable portrayal of loss and rediscovery — themes that have resonated deeply with select audiences. While big-budget entertainers dominate the mainstream circuit, Homebound has quietly carved out its space, powered by strong reviews and organic word-of-mouth.
As the film heads into its fourth weekend, the trend suggests that it could close its lifetime collection in the ₹4.5–₹4.6 crore (net) range. Though the numbers are far from blockbuster territory, Homebound’s consistent hold is a testament to how content-driven cinema continues to find its audience, even in the face of limited marketing and screen count.
In an era where most smaller films fade out after two weeks, Homebound’s persistence at the box office proves that stories rooted in authenticity still have room to thrive — slowly, steadily, and sincerely.
