Not many are aware of the film, and the lack of a promotional campaign resulted in a poor opening despite the movie featuring noted actors.

Homebound had its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival and was also screened at the Toronto International Film Festival. It is inspired by journalist Basharat Peer’s article ‘A Friendship, a Pandemic and a Dwath Beside the Highway.’

The movie showcases the childhood friendship between a Muslim and a Dalit, as they pursue a police job that holds the promise of dignity long denied to them because of their surnames. Hollywood legend Martin Scorsese is the executive producer, while the project is backed by Karan Johar and Adar Poonawalla.

The film was screened for the 'Oscar qualifying run' at the Regency Theatre, California. The docu-drama discusses the experiences of "Women Gaffers of Bollywood." 2D Entertainment shared the poster on its X (formerly Twitter) account.

The caption read, "#LeadingLight The untold stories of Women behind the scenes - A docu-drama that discusses the experiences of Women Gaffers of Bollywood. Screening for the 'Oscar qualifying run' at the Regency Theatre, LA, California. Congratulations, our dearest #DiyaSuriya, on this exceptional feat and on shedding light on the contributions of these hidden gems."

As per regencymovies.com, the film “is a powerful 13-minute documentary that uncovers the rarely told narratives of women gaffers in Mumbai's Bollywood film industry. Through intimate interviews with three pioneering women, the film captures their experiences of working behind the camera in an environment where they are often the only women on set."

Diya made her debut just a few months after she passed out of the University of Southern California, USA. In May, in a post, Suriya and Jyoti shared a post of Diya on Instagram. "All we feel right now is … PROUD. May your choices reflect your hopes and not your fears. All the very best, Diya. Amma Appa’s blessings forever ."
