There are very few movies in the in the Bollywood realm that are not only cinematic masterpiece but also moves you with the message that it conveys, and 12th Fail is one of them. It's a movie that will make your cry in the end because you'll feel like you're with the protagonist in the journey.
12th Fail is directed by Vidhu Vinod Chopra He illustrates how a deserving son of the soil—a species that is rapidly going extinct in the world of film—surmounts corruption and poverty to pass the nation's most difficult exam.
With his previous films, Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. (2003) and 3 Idiots (2009), Chopra has created 12th Fail, a pleasant sensation that is reminiscent of their spiritual cousin from the Hindi heartland.
Excellent acting that feels genuine and relevant is given by the relatively unknown Vikrant Massey, Medha Shankar, Anant Vijay Joshi, and Anshuman Pushkar. Every character has been given adequate development, and their interactions are genuine. Based on IPS Manoj Kumar Sharma's true narrative, the film presents every scene as though it actually happened. The lighting and colors in the filming are exquisite, giving each scene a sense of depth.
The film makes excellent use of both sound and stillness, which enhances the narrative. The language is excellent as well, finding the ideal harmony between subtle comedy, muted emotions, and sentimentality without becoming overly emotional.
Through the story of one man, Manoj Kumar Sharma, who goes from cheating in school in a village in Chambal to pursuing his dream of becoming an IPS officer among the coaching centers of Delhi, 12th Fail depicts the struggles that the millions of IAS and IPS aspirants in India face every year. The movie depicts Manoj's (Anant Vijay Joshi) unwavering optimism in the face of the most tragic struggles with great poignancy. It contrasts well with the personal demons of Pritam Pandey (Anant Vijay Joshi), the relative privilege of Shraddha Joshi (Medha Shankar), and the unwavering support of Gaurinandan (Anshuman Pushkar), his mentor.
The film conveys a few positive lessons, such as how the community benefits when one individual succeeds in becoming an IAS or IPS official, the importance of never giving up (Haar Nahi Manunga), and—above all—the film's central theme of rising from failure and trying again. #RESTART.
12th Fail too is a modern telling of the poverty that most of India lives in, and yet the unwavering optimism, hope, and spirit of its people. This movie is not only a Bollywood classic, but a world movie that deserves attention and praise.
