The world of Homebound is built not on grand sets but on textures that feel lived in—shot around Bhopal and nearby villages, the film relies on vernacular architecture and everyday spaces to tell its story. Production designer Khyatee Kanchan anchors the film in the raw materiality of rural India: plastered walls scuffed with age, low tin-roofed shelters, narrow lanes pressed between flat-roofed homes, and courtyards that double as stages for community and conflict. What emerges is not a stylised village, but a world that breathes with its people—where every doorway, window, and corridor carries the imprint of lives once lived, and in turn, the reminder of what slips away when you leave home.
