Mumbai, Maharashtra: Filmmaker Ramachandran Srinivasan spoke to IANS about 'Homebound', India’s official entry to the Oscars. He explained why films like this often don’t do well in Indian theatres. According to him, the main reasons are poor marketing, low awareness, and the audience’s preference for big, commercial films. Even though 'Homebound' was praised internationally and received a standing ovation at Cannes, it didn’t get much attention in India. Ramachandran also pointed out that India’s Oscar selections are often inconsistent. He believes that films with strong local roots and meaningful social themes are more likely to connect with global audiences.<br /><br /><br />#Homebound #RamachandranSrinivasan #OscarEntry #IndianCinema #IndieFilm #FilmMarketing #AudienceChoice #CommercialCinema #Cannes2025 #CriticalAcclaim #IndianTheatres #SocialStorytelling #RootedFilms #GlobalCinema #FilmAwareness #IndianFilmIndustry #Oscars2025 #CinemaChallenges #InternationalRecognition #ArtHouseFilm #FilmBuzz #FilmDistribution<br />
