This week, the MY Yangon International Movie Review section would like to recommend two Asian films that, while both centered around the theme of love, offer entirely different flavors. Let's explore the contrasts between them!
The Indian film "Tere Ishk Mein" intensely portrays a story of love that leads to madness, rage, and revenge. In contrast, the Thai film "MY BOO 2" comically depicts the cyclical love story between a human and a female ghost.
"Tere Ishk Mein" (In Your Love) - India
This film is a vision from director Aanand L. Rai and is an action-romance drama presenting a passionate love story between Dhanush (Shankar) and Kriti Sanon (Mutti). Similar to Rai's acclaimed 'Raanjhanaa,' this movie is a deep dive into the extreme consequences of love, sacrifice, and heartbreak.
The story begins with the captivating and intense romance between college students Shankar and Mutti. However, Shankar's world crumbles when Mutti decides to change her path and marry someone else. You will witness the breathtaking transformation of Shankar, who, consumed by heartbreak and rage, abandons love and becomes a man filled with a thirst for revenge.
With an emotionally rich musical backdrop by A.R. Rahman, the film illustrates how obsessive love, the pain of rejection, and anger can become a driving force. It is a cinematic portrayal of both the light and dark sides of affection.
"MY BOO 2" - Thailand
This movie is a delightful blend of comedy, warmth, and spooky fun from famous Thai director Komgrit Triwimol. It's a comedy-romance drama that is expected to continue the success of its predecessor. The main actors, Sutthirak Subvijitra (Joe) and Maylada Susri (Anong), continue to portray the charming relationship between a living person and a ghost.
In this installment, the love between Joe and Anong is not confined to just one life; it transcends the cycle of reincarnation (Samsara). You will be thrilled to see how Joe and his beloved Anong are always destined to reunite, no matter how many lives, forms, or eras pass—be it two, three, four, or more.
Like the first movie, "My Boo 2" maintains its endearing comedic atmosphere, showcasing the bonds between family and friends, and skillfully blending the unique Thai cinematic mix of romance and the supernatural. It is an ideal film to watch with laughter and warmth as you experience a destined love that spans multiple lifetimes.
These two films will be released on Friday, November 28, 2025. Knowing about them in advance will help MY Yangon's movie-loving audience decide which film best suits their taste!
So, dear movie fans, now that you know about both, will you choose "Tere Ishk Mein"? Are you cheering for "MY BOO 2"? Or will you be sure to watch both? You have plenty of time to decide now!
