#Home is the story of a humble but technologically-challenged old man, Oliver (essayed by Indrans), who tries constantly to keep up the closeness with his two sons, who are hooked to social media like any other millennial. The film focuses on a socially relevant and relatable theme with a light-hearted and beautiful narrative.

“The high-anticipation for soon-to-launch Kuruthi and unprecedented success of recent Malayalam movies on our service is a testament of the rising affinity for this cinema across the country,” said Vijay Subramaniam, Director and Head, Content, Amazon Prime Video, India and further continued, “We are extremely glad to collaborate with Friday Film House again and support us in our continued efforts to bring well-crafted stories from Malayalam industry to a larger audience on Amazon Prime Video.

We are glad that the film releases on Amazon Prime Video and will reach a global audience allowing them to revel in watching Malayalam cinema.”

Writer-Director Rojin Thomas said, “#Home is an attempt at depicting a much relevant topic in today’s times, the dynamics of a family that is unknowingly trapped in the artificial web in the ever-evolving digital age. I am delighted to present our fruit of hard work and passion on a global streaming service like Amazon Prime Video and are optimistic that the audience will take away the right message from the film.”
