Neeraj Ghaywan Discusses Homebound and Social Issues

Neeraj Ghaywan is a filmmaker who made a movie called Homebound.

This movie talks about how caste and social prejudices affect young people in India.

It was shown at big film festivals like Cannes and Marrakech.

Ghaywan says it's important to tell stories about people who are often not seen or heard, especially those from marginalized communities.

He wants to show their human stories, not just statistics.

Homebound is India's official entry for the Oscar for Best International Feature Film.

Ghaywan worked with a big production house, Dharma Productions, and famous filmmaker Martin Scorsese.

He believes his film connects with people because it talks about universal themes like connection and resistance, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Ghaywan is not planning a trilogy about caste but wants to tell stories about human emotions and social problems.
