The team of the Indian movie Homebound attended its premiere at the 78th Cannes Film Festival on Wednesday. As the curtains closed, the audience stood in unison and gave the film a rousing 9-minute standing ovation. The clock surpassed even that of Tom Cruise’s Mission Impossible - The Final Reckoning, which received a little over 5 minutes of standing ovation. 

Filmmaker Neeraj Ghaywan couldn’t help but get emotional and hugged Dharma honcho Karan Johar as he cried out of happiness. The screening was also attended by the film’s star cast, Ishaan Khatter, Janhvi Kapoor, and Vishal Jethwa. The audience also included Janhvi’s father, Boney Kapoor, sister Khushi Kapoor, and boyfriend Shikhar Pahariya. Watch the video below.
