Overacting

Kaeng Owoe (2026), internationally known as Overacting (2026), is a Thai action-comedy film that brings together outrageous humor, eccentric characters, unexpected criminal adventures, and heartfelt family moments. Directed by Prueksa Amaruji, this entertaining Thai movie follows Winai, a legendary retired police officer whose memories of his former glory days suddenly return, convincing him that he is still an active law enforcement officer. Determined to hunt down his longtime criminal nemesis, Sua Hao, Winai becomes increasingly caught up in his unfinished mission. However, his daughter Woranuch (Nuch), a struggling actress who wants to protect her father from danger, comes up with an unusual plan that turns their lives into a hilarious series of staged police operations.

As her father's obsession with fighting crime grows, Woranuch recruits her eccentric friends and her former boyfriend Toy, a traffic police officer, to create an entirely fictional police team. Together, they organize elaborate fake missions, staged criminal investigations, and action-packed adventures designed to make Winai believe he is once again solving real cases. What begins as a creative attempt to protect a retired officer quickly becomes a chaotic comedy filled with ridiculous situations, unexpected confrontations, and over-the-top performances. But their carefully constructed illusion faces a serious challenge when Winai's actual old enemy resurfaces and begins committing real crimes. Suddenly, the fake police operations become dangerously close to reality, forcing the group to face consequences they never anticipated.
