Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s film, initially unnoticed, gained momentum upon its theatrical release, eventually becoming one of India’s sleeper hits. Despite a budget of approximately 20 crores, the movie went on to collect over 60 crores worldwide, even in the face of tough competition from films like “Tiger 3.” Now, the movie “12th Fail” is set to premiere on Disney Plus Hotstar.
The film is based on the inspiring real-life journey of IPS officer Manoj Kumar, who went from failing 12th standard to clearing India’s toughest exam, UPSC. Vikrant Massey plays the role of Manoj, delivering a performance that can be considered the best of his career. His portrayal reflects dedication and passion. Manoj’s challenging journey wouldn’t have been possible without the unwavering support of his partner, Shraddha, portrayed by the beautiful Medha Shankar.
The movie doesn’t delve into the technicalities of exam patterns and preparation; instead, it focuses on the challenges faced during the preparation phase, tugging at your emotional strings. The concluding moments of the movie are sure to evoke tears. “12th Fail” is scheduled to release on December 29th, exclusively on Disney Plus Hotstar.
