The cast and crew of Homebound walked the red carpet at the 78th Cannes Film Festival for the premiere of their film on a glittering evening on the French Riviera.
Homebound, which was directed by the celebrated Neeraj Ghaywan, has secured a distinguished place in the Un Certain Regard category, which honours distinctive voices and narrative styles.
The movie’s main actors, Janhvi Kapoor, Vishal Jethwa, and Ishaan Khatter, arrived in style and attracted attention as they posed for pictures against the famous Palais des Festivals in Cannes. Producer Karan Johar joined the trio, with director Neeraj Ghaywan.
At Cannes, Ishaan Khatter looked stunning in a deep wine-colored velvet suit that radiated both contemporary style and regal charm. A structured blazer with elaborate black embroidery or embellishments across the chest added a layer of texture and sophistication to the ensemble’s sharply tailored silhouette.
The outfit was stylish and eye-catching when paired with matching wide-leg velvet trousers. In order to let the rich fabric and delicate details pop on the red carpet, he kept the ensemble simple yet striking.
Janhvi Kapoor looks stunning in a delicate blush-pink outfit that combines contemporary style with Indian customs. Her ensemble consists of a structured blouse, a sheer dupatta draped elegantly over her head, and a finely pleated saree or saree-gown hybrid.
Layered pearls add to the regal appearance, and the fabric’s metallic sheen and intricate texturing give it an opulent feel. Her clean bun and sparse makeup finish off the elegant appearance.
With a striking white long coat with elaborate shoulder and button embellishments, Karan Johar embraces a baroque-inspired style. The coat adds theatrical flair with its wide black trousers and ruffled collar and sleeves. His spectacles, glossy black shoes, and slicked-back hair complete the quirky yet put-together ensemble, creating a real red carpet statement.
One of the most eagerly awaited Indian submissions to Cannes this year is Homebound. Its inclusion in Un Certain Regard demonstrates the increasing international acclaim of Indian narratives while also reaffirming the festival’s dedication to diversity in film.
