As of March 12, after about 1 week in theaters, "Tai" has reached a revenue milestone of 68 billion VND. The film is predicted to achieve hundreds of billions of VND in revenue, despite being criticized for its script.
The script has many loopholes, the way the connection line is built between the characters Tai (Mai Tai Phen) and Ut Lanh (My Tam) is considered forced. Every time Tai encounters an incident, Ut Lanh will appear to rescue him in many different ways.
My Tam plays Ut Lanh - but does not need acting. My Tam does not act, does not get into the role, does not transform, but only plays herself in the film. The audience does not see Ut Lanh in the film, but it is just... My Tam. The favor of the script and director for My Tam every time she appears is clearly shown, "obvious".
The biggest highlight in the script of "Tai" is the mother-to-child relationship full of conflict, suffering, and tug-of-war between "Tai" and his mother. Meritorious Artist Hanh Thuy's acting in the role of Mrs. Phuc - Tai's mother is also a major advantage of the film.
Meritorious Artist Hanh Thuy's full name is Ngo Pham Hanh Thuy, born in 1976. Hanh Thuy is only 5 years older than My Tam. My Tam was born in 1981. However, in the movie "Tai", Hanh Thuy had to wear old, withered makeup to play the mother of the character "Tai", while My Tam had to rejuvenate to play Tai's childhood girlfriend (Mai Tai Phen). My Tam's character Ut Lanh is younger than Tai. In fact, Mai Tai Phen was born in 1991, 10 years younger than My Tam.
