12th Fail

Vikrant Massey what an amazing performance. After Irfan Khan it is the first time I have seen such a real acting on screen. Keep doing such films.

Simple story-telling, no bollywood masala and reality at its peak. Vidhu Vinod Chopra has done justice with the script. This is the difference between experienced director and know it all "directors". Yes, I am talking about TVF guys. 2 seasons and they literally have made a mockery of IAS struggle. They should watch this and learn from the best.

I just hope now that Vikrant gets a best actor award for this. He deserves it.

That "restart" song is gonna stay in my mind for long. And yeah huge round of applause at the end in the theatre. Go and watch it, please!

12th Fail is a bold movie and movies like this must be made more frequently.

Alas, nowadays making such movies isn't possible easily because masses are more inclined to watch poorly made but highly promoted movies like Kashmir Files or Kerala story.

This will surely inspire many and will give morale boost to many aspirants and will give it's viewer to think after watch.

Direction is superb and acting of Vikrant Messy is top notch.

All Hail Vikrant Massey & Vidhu Vinod Chopra As They Shape The Most Pure, Personal & Brave Hindi Film In A Long Time.

12th Fail deserves an audience, and we, as cinephiles, deserve cinema that respects us. Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Vikrant Massey have served one.

I am not an Indian. I have never been to India. But after the success of RRR, I wanted to learn more about Indian cinema. I watched... not exactly watched but began and left in the middle of many movies because I didnt like most.

But we really have a gem here! This is one of the most inspiring movies I've ever watched. And I feel this is the real soul of India we see here, not the over-exaggerated thug/gangster/corrupt politicians movies which are like carbon copies.

Vikrant Massey should be an international star and also I'll try to follow the future works of the director.

This is not only about India. This is about humanity. And this movie is one of the best about telling the story of average human beings. Thanks & kudos to all who worked on this gem..

"12th Fail" is a masterpiece that transcends celluloid, a testament to Vidhu Vinod Chopra's unparalleled storytelling prowess. Through vivid characters, evocative visuals, profound writing, and a soul-stirring soundtrack, he crafts a narrative that resonates deeply. Vikrant Massey's portrayal of Manoj Kumar Sharma is a tour de force, embodying a range of emotions that leave an indelible mark. Priyanshu Chatterjee's portrayal of the upright police officer adds a layer of authenticity and bravery to the story. The film's exploration of discrimination and resilience is both powerful and poignant, shedding light on the stark choices faced by the marginalized. In every frame, Mr. Vinod Chopra's artistry shines through, turning moments into magic.

"12th Fail" stands as a 147-minute gem, a cinematic triumph that both impresses and inspires. Kudos to the maestro for his stellar direction and dedication to excellence.

Undoubtedly, 12th Fail passes with an immense Distinction. Yes! 12th Fail is a Triumph of Unyielding Spirit.

The cinematic expression in question showcases a remarkable portrayal of characters, bringing them to life in a way that blurs the lines between fiction and reality. The depth and authenticity of the performances make it seem as though the characters are not played by actors, but rather by genuine individuals. Given the outstanding work by Vikrant Massey, it would be a profound oversight if he were not recognized with a National Award for his exceptional contribution to this piece of art.

Just sharing yet again... Vidhu Vinod Chopra, a cinematic maestro, weaves stories that resonate deep within. His canvas is vast, painting emotions, breathing life into characters, and etching unforgettable moments. Each frame is a testament to his artistry, where passion meets purpose, unfolding like a symphony of emotions. A true cinematic alchemist, Mr. Vinod turns moments into magic, leaving an indelible mark on Indian cinema.

Bold, Raw, Unfiltered, Real

A movie that definitely breaks the typecasting of Bollywood movies from the ongoing load of commerical, overhyped, overmarketed movies coming out of the movie factory, that is Bollywood.

Depicts a real life story of an UPSC aspirant (and the likes), the struggles year after year, the battle of resilience, and at last the judgement day.

With brilliant direction and performance by every actor/ actress making the plot look so aligned was delivered flawlessly. It would definitely connect with the Indian viewers and others.

Overall "Bold, Raw, Unfiltered and Real'

Another classy performance by Vikrant Massey.
