The Lunar New Year Film Race

The Lunar New Year holiday, with its long break, is one of the hottest film seasons of the year in Vietnamese cinema. The 2026 Lunar New Year films are expected to be diverse in genre and directed by experienced directors, promising an exciting box office race.

🔴 The Scent of Pho (Mùi Phở) takes a distinctly Vietnamese culinary theme, revolving around pho – a symbol of Vietnamese food culture – within a heartwarming family story celebrating the New Year. This is Minh Beta's directorial debut, and it stars comedian Xuan Hinh in his first leading role in a feature film.

🔴 "Rabbit, Oh!" features Tran Thanh taking on multiple roles: producer, director, and lead actor. The film explores the psychology and social relationships of modern times. The cast includes many promising young actors such as Quoc Anh, Van Mai Huong, Lyly, Phao, Vinh Dam... many of whom are making their film debut.

🔴 "Heaven-Sent Treasure" is drawing attention due to the reunion of the duo Phuong Anh Dao and Tuan Tran. Set in a fishing village, the film tells a story of family love from a different, humanistic perspective, depicting the journey of a single mother. The film is expected to be a lighthearted and heartwarming choice for audiences at the beginning of the year.

🔴 Truong Giang's "My Father's One-Room House" continues to pursue his familiar path, which is also his greatest strength: family dramas. Set in an old apartment building with a single-room house, the film portrays the "mismatched" relationship between a conservative father and his ambitious Gen Z daughter. The film offers a relatable glimpse into a modern Vietnamese family, where love begins with understanding.
