“Finally saw ‘12th FAIL’ over this past weekend.
If you see only ONE film this year, make it this one.
Why?
1) Plot: This story is based on real-life heroes of the country. Not just the protagonist, but the millions of youth, hungry for success, who struggle against extrordinary odds to pass what is arguably one of the most competitive exams in the world.
2) Acting: @VidhuChopraa does a brilliant job of the casting. Each character is credible in the role & they turn in gritty, passionate performances. But @VikrantMassey delivers a bravura performance that merits a National Film Award. He was not just acting out the character’s life, he was living it.
3) Narrative style: Vidhu Chopra emphatically reminds us that great cinema is about great stories. Period. And that special effects are no match for the simplicity & authenticity of a story well told.
The highlight for me was the interview scene. Yes, it may seem a bit contrived, but the profound dialogue makes this sequence hit you squarely between the eyes and shows you what India must do to build a new Bharat.
Mr Chopra, yeh dil maange more films like this!” Anand tweeted.
Ahead of ‘Fighter’ release, Deepika Padukone praises Vikrant Massey’s ’12th Fail’: ‘Congratulations to…’

Your appreciation for our efforts and recommendation for the film means the world to me. And I’m sure each & every member of our team shares the same excitement.
You’ve been an inspiration to millions through your commitment in excellence & compassion.
Guess we did something right. Thank you again.”
