12th Fail

First of all it is important to thank Vidhu Vinod Chopra for making this film. The story has been told in such a heartwarming way that the audience is totally involved in this inspiring story of grit, determination and victory against all odds. The performances are award worthy. Vikram Massey is outstanding in the lead role and is well supported by the rest of the cast. The direction, screenplay and editing are top notch. Unfortunately in India the over the top and illogical films become blockbusters and the really outstanding films don't do well commercially. I hope the Indian audience views such films as it will encourage film makers to do top quality work of international standards. This film falls in category that the Hindi film industry should feel proud of.

"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.

12th fail- THE BEST MOVIE OF 2023, period!

This is a perfect example of how to take a movie with a strong and inspiring storyline based on true events. It portrays the crowd who has perseverance and never die attitude in pursuing civil services examination (UPSC) exams to eventually become IAS or IPS.

Vidhu Vinod Chopra is a master story teller, and he sure knows to have the right blend of dialogue delivery with sensibility and delicacy.

The "HUG" definition is shown as real and you can feel it.

Screenplay is terrific with a touch of brilliance.

Vikrant Massey's acting is a benchmark and he embodies it with full of life. His emotions, innocence, anger and happiness can be truly felt as he takes us through his tough journey to the pinnacle.

Medha Shankar provides strong support for Vikrant. Their purest love, chemistry and just being there for one another when it's really needed is worth to withhold in your memory for a long time.

Anant Joshi is the real friend one can wish for in their lifetime. Aisa dost sabko milna chahiye.

Climax is multiple times clap worthy.

10x respect for all those who pursued UPSC exams, tried multiple times and never lost hope. 100x respect for those who cleared the interview and serving for the government as the key administrators, and taking the country forward.

This movie is a big inspiration for kids and future generation. It teaches them and us that life can be restarted multiple times and can bounce back stronger.

12th FAIL is a BIG PASS with distinction (Rank 1, 100/100, GPA 4.0).

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.
