Hanoi (VNA) – Movie lovers are in for a treat as the first Autumn Fair 2025 rolls out the red carpet for three highly appreciated Vietnamese film crews, Mua do (Red Rain), Tu chien tren khong (Hijacked) and Mui pho (The Scent of Pho), at an exclusive fan meet-and-greet event on November 2 at the Vietnam Exposition Centre (VEC) in Dong Anh commune of Hanoi.

According to the Department of Cinema under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, Red Rain and Hijacked have been the breakout hits of the fair’s film screening programme, with all complimentary tickets snapped up.

Drawing inspiration from heroic wartime stories, Red Rain delivers a powerful portrayal of courage, resilience and sacrifice through gripping and emotionally charged storytelling.

Hijacked takes audiences to the skies with high-stakes aerial battles that celebrate the bravery and indomitable spirit of Vietnam’s air force heroes.
