India’s official entry to the Oscars 2026, Homebound, is all set for its theatrical release in India. However, some latest reports suggest that the film has faced a tough time while clearing the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) ahead of its release in India. The film has received as many as 11 cuts before clearing the certificate. 

Final cuts in Homebound

A recent report by Bollywood Hungama claimed that Homebound was referred to the Revising Committee (RC), seemingly after the Examining Committee (EC) had asked for several cuts. Following this, the RC asked for several modifications in the movie. According to reports, the Revising Committee muted and replaced certain words at as many as six places in the movie. It also asked the makers to get rid of the dialogue ‘Aloo gobhi…khaate hai’. Additionally, a two-second visual of a man performing puja was censored. The word ‘gyaan’ was also replaced in the final cut of the film.
