"Love in Vietnam", a co-production between Innovations India and Samten Hills Vietnam, had its official premiere in New Delhi on September 7, attracting wide interest from audiences in both countries.

The film "Love in Vietnam" is the first co-production project between Vietnam and India.

Inspired by the renowned Turkish novel "Madonna in a Fur Coat", the film portrays the tender love story of Manav (Shantanu Maheshwari), a young man aspiring to become a singer who is sent to study in Vietnam. There, he is enchanted by the self-portrait of Linh (Kha Ngan), a painter and dancer, setting the stage for a poignant romance.

Set against the picturesque landscapes of Vietnam, more than 75% of the movie was shot in the country, immersing viewers in its beauty. Alongside passionate Indian melodies and the emotional journey of the couple, the film serves as a cinematic exploration of Vietnam’s natural and cultural charm, with each frame capturing the spirit of a heartfelt love song.

Speaking to the Vietnam News Agency (VNA)'s reporter in New Delhi, Rahul Bali, CEO of Innovations India and the film’s producer, emphasised cinema’s unique ability to connect people and nations through shared values of love, family, resilience, and sacrifice.

He noted that beyond its emotional storyline, "Love in Vietnam" highlights Vietnam’s beauty for Indian audiences. He expressed his confidence that the film will usher in a new era of cinematic collaboration between India and Vietnam, while allowing international viewers to experience Vietnam as a romantic and hospitable destination.

Produced with an investment of 4 million USD, the film has already created a stir, securing distribution in 10,000 theaters across China ahead of its Indian release. After screenings in Vietnam, India, China, and other markets, "Love in Vietnam" is scheduled to reach global audiences through Netflix.
