Last weekend saw the release of Vikrant Massey starrer 12th Fail. The film, directed by Vidhu Vinod Chopra, also stars Medha Shankar, Priyanshu Chatterjee, Sanjay Bishnoi, and Harish Khanna, among others. It is based on Anurag Pathak’s novel of the same name and depicts the real-life story of IPS Manoj Kumar Sharma.
Only a few days since the release and the poignant tale of dedication, motivation, and struggle is receiving immensely positive feedback. And Massey’s compelling performance has successfully left the viewers emotional and inspired. While weaving a journey, the film conveys an important universal message for those who find themselves lost in the mad competition enveloping them. It’s a story of one but is actually a story of hundreds and millions.
Here’s how people are reacting:

Just again i watched #12thFail and there's a scene that had the whole theater in splits, but it's a sobering reflection of our education system.

The depiction of teachers aiding students in cheating is a stark reminder of the corruption in some districts. 🎥💔 #12thFail pic.twitter.com/XpGCigp4V7
