Hanoi (VNA) - The Embassy of India in Vietnam is hosting an Indian film festival in Hanoi, featuring famous Bollywood movies with Vietnamese subtitles, representing different genres.

Dangal (the Wrestling Competition) is based on the life of amateur wrestler Mahavir Singh Phogat, who trained his two daughters, Geeta and Babita, to become world-class wrestlers. The film breaks away from traditional Indian cinema norms and gender stereotypes to tell a heartfelt and deeply inspiring story.

Dangal was the first Indian film to exceed 300 million USD in global box office takings, featuring Aamir Khan, the Bollywood icon who gained worldwide recognition with PK and Three Idiots.

English Vinglish is a touching tale about the journey of a housewife who discovers herself while learning English and regains her confidence.

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (Life Will Never Come Again) is about a transformative trip taken by a group of old friends after years of separation, exploring themes of friendship, personal growth and how to live life to the fullest.

Audiences can register for free movie tickets for the Indian Film Festival in Hanoi via this link. The film festival takes place at the National Cinema Centre, 87 Lang Ha street, Hanoi until January 11./.
