Hanoi, August 29, 2025 – The Vietnamese war drama Red Rain (Mưa đỏ), directed by Đặng Thái Huyền and produced by the People’s Army Cinema, has achieved a historic milestone, officially crossing the 200 billion VND box office mark.
According to Box Office Vietnam, the film has now become the highest-grossing Vietnamese historical and revolutionary war film, surpassing the previous record of 172 billion VND held by Địa đạo: Mặt trời trong bóng tối.
On August 28 alone, Red Rain earned over 22 billion VND with more than 270,000 tickets sold, far ahead of other titles currently in theaters. Since its release, the film has consistently led the Vietnamese box office, with average daily revenues reaching 20 billion VND and weekend sales topping 81.9 billion VND.
Inspired by the 81-day defense of Quảng Trị Citadel in 1972, the film has resonated strongly with audiences, boosted by patriotic spirit surrounding the 80th anniversary of Vietnam’s National Day.
The cast includes Hứa Vĩ Văn, Nam Phương, Phương Nam, Lâm Thanh Nhã, Hoàng Long, and Thân Thúy Hà.
Despite its success, the production has also faced piracy challenges. Actor Steven Nguyễn urged audiences to support the film responsibly:
“If you love the movie, please experience it in theaters and share your feelings genuinely, instead of posting pirated clips online.”
With its record-breaking performance, Red Rain is being hailed as a landmark achievement for Vietnamese cinema.
