My Youth is a 2026 Indian drama-romance film directed by Ken Karunaas, running 70 minutes and telling the story of two people who cross paths again after fifteen years apart — each carrying the weight of what their lives have become and what was once left unfinished between them.
What is My Youth about?
Two individuals, once connected in ways that mattered deeply, find themselves brought back together after fifteen years of separate lives. Sun Woo-hae and Sung Je-yun have each been shaped by time — by choices made, paths diverged, and the quiet accumulation of everyday struggle. Their unexpected reunion forces both of them to reckon with who they have become versus who they once were, and what, if anything, can be salvaged or let go. The film moves at an intimate pace, focusing less on dramatic plot turns and more on the emotional texture of two people trying to honestly face each other and themselves after a long silence.
Cast & crew
Ken Karunaas serves both as director and lead performer, a dual role that gives the film a distinctly personal quality. The cast includes Anishma Anilkumar, Suraj Venjaramoodu, Devadarshini, Meenakshi Dinesh, Priyanshi Yadav, Abison Thevarasa, and Sarath — a mix of experienced and emerging South Indian performers who together create an ensemble grounded in quiet, lived-in emotion rather than theatrical performance.
Context & significance
Persian-speaking diaspora viewers who appreciate restrained, character-driven drama from South Asian cinema will find My Youth a gentle and emotionally sincere watch. Indian romance dramas have built a loyal audience among Iranian diaspora communities over decades — the shared sensibility around family obligation, the passage of time, and bittersweet reunions translates across cultures with little friction. This film arrives in Persian dub and also carries Persian subtitles, making it fully accessible whether you prefer to follow along in your own language or stay with the original performances.
