Homebound: Neeraj Ghaywan’s film ‘Homebound’ recently received an Oscar nomination. After the film received an Oscar nomination, its problems seem to be increasing. The film ‘Homebound’ is embroiled in legal controversies. Now you too must be wondering what happened that there was so much controversy regarding the film?
Controversy over ‘Homebound’
Actually, journalist and writer Pooja Changoiwala has taken legal action against the film’s makers Dharma Productions and Netflix. Pooja has alleged that the film has been illegally copied from her book of the same name ‘Homebound’ published in the year 2021. Not only this, but further he also said that many scenes, topics, dialogues and style of the story of the film matches with his book.
What did Pooja say?
Pooja has informed that after watching the film, she sent a legal notice to Dharma Productions through her lawyer on October 15. However, his complaint was ignored. If Pooja is to be believed, she says that both her book and this film are based on the Covid migrant crisis of 2020.
Copied the title also
Pooja claims that the similarities in the film are not limited to this, but she also alleges that many parts of her book have been used exactly as they are in the second part of the film. Apart from this, the writer also claims that the title of this film has also been taken from his own book and he believes that this cannot be a coincidence.
The script of the film will be ready in 2022
Pooja says that the script of this film was prepared in 2022, but her book was published even before that. Not only this, but Pooja has filed an application with the Maharashtra State Legal Services Authority, which is a necessary legal process before filing a case in the Bombay High Court.
Demand for financial compensation
Apart from this, Pooja has also made it clear that the release and distribution of the film should be banned, the name of the film should be changed and she has also demanded financial compensation. He also says that it is not easy to stand against a big production house. Pooja believes that writers should protect their rights. However, till now Dharma Productions has not given any official statement on the matter. It remains to be seen what he has to say on this?
