One heartwarming journey that showcases the spirited resilience within one self. This biographical underdog drama gets brilliantly written and directed, while managing to stay as positive, inspirational and full of heart. Though not without its cliches, the highly impactful emotional core, hard hitting dialogues and sincere performances easily overshadow those minor bumps. The narrative moves you many a times, especially the final 20 minutes leave you with moist eyes. Vikrant Massey was just fantastic. He resonates and makes you root for with an effortless ease. Do not miss out on one of the finest films of this year.
The Great Vidhu Vinod Chopra Returns!
'12th Fail' by Vidhu Vinod Chopra is a cinematic masterpiece that I believe might just be the best movie to come out of Bollywood in the last decade. This heartfelt biopic left a profound impact on my soul. The writing, directing, and acting are nothing short of genius.
It has everything you need in a movie, a bit of everything. The lead character's journey is so compelling that you can't help but root for him through his failures and celebrate his success. Vidhu Vinod Chopra deserves all the applause for bringing this gem to the screen.
A must-watch that tugs at your heartstrings!
Never have I ever seen any movie in Indian Cinema or world cinema with such a sublime hold on Sound with Cinematography. Yes, I just said a powerful statement, and I just said world cinema, too, and this is all for the combination of Sound and cinematography. This movie needs to be experienced only in one place, which is the theaters; you might not understand how great this film was as a piece of art.
Indian films, or I would say Bollywood films, have always been heavily customed to emotions or drama. Still, it has rarely or never taken it to a different level with the use of the two most significant elements in filmmaking- Sound and Cinematography, and the…
i don't know why but i felt like a winner when this ended. i didn't do shit to deserve that.
manoj's dad: bohot hogyi imaandari ki ladai sab bekaar hai!
manoj: itni bhi bekaar na hai
manoj's dad: hum jaise log kabhi na jeet payenge inse

not only the best bollywood movie of this year the best bollywood has given in some recent years!!

there's usually a stereotype among the fans of cinema that no one wants to watch films based on honest protagonists, they rather want them to be grey and dark. Only a few can make this formula of making stories about morality work among people, and that too with so much conviction. Like there's not a even single moment where you want to look away. Hindi cinema has had an amazing year after a while, there are fan favorites like jawan, there are really good "bollywood" movies like rarkpk, gritty action flicks like animal, lovely comedies like dunki and very important films like omg 2 and 12th fail. And this inspiring biography is the best of a lot, definitely the best…
Franz Kafka once said:
A belief is like a guillotine, just as heavy, just as light
One of the best films of 2023 is not just a film but an inspiration, an epitome of relentless pursuit if you will. It was a tale forged in the impossible as stated by everyone except for the few people he met along the way who believed in him.
With the hammer of unyielding effort, he created his destiny. What others deemed as impossible was now his reality. In the finale of the film, when the symphony of achievement starts echoing in your eardrums, it is in that moment you realize you have just seen a masterpiece.
From the raw and realistic acting performances…
The greatest thing about 12th Fail is that, despite its extremely formal style, neither the story nor the characters' world ever seem artificial; instead, the characters' struggles, feelings, and the world they live in are all palpably real, and you genuinely feel sorry for them when they experience both successes and setbacks. The performance, writing, directing, story structure, cinematography, editing, sound design, score, and character work all come together masterfully to create a profoundly affecting, reflective, and poignant portrait of hopes and dreams.
The film's inspiring message revolves around the importance of motivation, the strength of true friends, and having a life partner who sticks by you through good times and bad.
I haven't given such a high rating to any hindi movie since "Andhadhun" which was released in 2018.
