Race of 3 movies
“The Four Guardians”, “Love by Mistake”, “Billion Dollar Kiss” are the 3 films officially announced to join the race on the first day of Tet At Ty 2025.
It can be seen that the film producers, directors and actors are all familiar faces to the audience. The themes of the films also revolve around the genre of family psychology and love in a humorous style that is considered suitable for the happy atmosphere at the beginning of the new year.
In particular, "The Four Guardians" marks Tran Thanh's return to comedy films after the psychological film "Mai" which earned 520 billion VND on the occasion of Tet 2024.
From the success of projects such as "Bo Gia", "Nha Ba Nu", "Mai", Tran Thanh is becoming a name that attracts Vietnamese audiences every Tet movie season.
With “The Four Guardians”, the film features familiar actors Tran Thanh, Le Giang, Le Duong Bao Lam, Uyen An... This project does not focus too much on puzzling the audience, mainly bringing many funny and sad situations of the 4 main characters.
Regarding the project, Tran Thanh shared: “I once heard an audience share that a family with members living in different countries all tried to gather on the first day of Tet to watch Tran Thanh’s film, I was very honored. So if it is a comedy, the whole family will enjoy it together.”
"The Four Guardians" is considered a strong competitor in the 2025 Tet film season because of Tran Thanh's reputation as well as the film's content, which is quite suitable for the joyful atmosphere of every spring.
That also means, "Love by mistake best friend" and "Billionaire kiss" will have strong competition to attract audiences, even creating a fair race with Tran Thanh's project.
Interestingly, “Love by mistake” and “Billionaire Kiss” share the same theme of love. The posters of both films feature a beautiful and cheerful girl next to two guys. The projects are expected to bring romantic and lovely stories on the first day of the new year.
“Love by mistake friend” is the Vietnamese version of the famous Thai movie Friendzone that exploded at the box office in 2019. Possessing attractive content from the original, the movie is also carefully crafted by director Nguyen Quang Dung. In addition to actress Kaity Nguyen, the two main actors of the movie, Thanh Son and Tran Ngoc Vang, also help the movie gain more advantages because they have a large fan base in both the North and the South.
In “The Billion Dollar Kiss”, Thu Trang participated for the first time as a director. Thu Trang chose the young cast of Le Xuan Tien, Ma Ran Do and the new face of cinema Doan Thien An.
In general, the projects all have factors that attract audiences to theaters.
There are still many problems in Tet 2025 movies
It is not difficult to see that in the 2025 Tet film season, up to now, the 3 Tet films have not had many breakthroughs in content or cast. In particular, the films all choose safe themes: Family, young love...
Most of the time, during Tet, these themes are often “rehashed” by filmmakers because they are considered safe themes, suitable for the spring atmosphere. However, this can easily cause boredom for viewers if the content is not innovative and repeats the old filmmaking motifs of the past.
Besides, the appearance of familiar stars every Tet holiday sometimes creates overeating.
Obviously, Tet is the golden time for producers to seize to increase revenue for their projects. Because this is the time when people can rest, celebrate Tet with their families, the demand for entertainment increases. However, if a project is not attractive and innovative, it will be difficult to retain viewers.
