Welcome Home is a 2020 Indian Hindi-language horror thriller film inspired by a real-life incident in Nagpur, Maharashtra.
[citation needed] It stars Kashmira Irani, Swarda Thigale, Boloram Das, Shashi Bhushan, and Tina Bhatia.
The plot revolves around two young women, Anuja (Kashmira Irani) and Neha (Swarda Thigale), who are high school teachers and have been tasked to collect population data for the census.
Because one of the women sensed something was wrong and Prerna was in danger, they decide to go back; but this time there is heavy rain, so they take shelter in her house for the night.
Nandini Ramnath of Scroll.in wrote "In the SonyLIV film Welcome Home, Boloram Das is far more effective and terrifying as a man who promises to perform horrible deeds and goes right ahead.
Welcome Home has other strong performances too, especially by its female leads, who movingly bring out the film’s themes of imprisonment and liberation.
"[4] Avinash Ramachandran of The Indian Express said "Welcome Home might seem like a gritty chamber drama, but it is also an affecting commentary on patriarchy.
"[1] Devasheesh Pandey from News 18 gave the film 2.5 stars out of 5 and wrote "Welcome Home is not just another movie but carries gracefully a narrative that seeks transformation and liberation from victimhood, which as Anuja points out, does not rest upon gender, but can happen with anyone.
"[2] A reviewer for Spotboye praising the writing and performance of the cast, said "The story, written by Ankita Narang is gripping and it is a sincere effort to throw light on the hideous crimes of child abuse and sexual assault in our society.
