Director Vidhu Vinod Chopra's 12th Fail, starring Vikrant Massey and Medha Shankar in lead roles, has been receiving positive reception upon release. The film which is currently streaming on Disney+ Hotstar, is based on a true story and draws from the struggles of the millions of students who attempt the UPSC entrance exam.
The film also stars Harish Khanna, Anshumaan Pushkar, and Anant Joshi, among others. The Film is based on Anurag Pathak's novel about the journey of IPS officer Manoj Kumar Sharma and IRS officer Shraddha Joshi.
Our review of the film read, “The Vidhu Vinod Chopra directorial although sincere, offers a tired tale of grit conquers all. The world of 12th Fail exists in the shadow of TVF’s Aspirants. But while the latter series delved into the motivations of each of its characters, the film’s supporting characters feel stock,” reads CE review of the film.
12th Fail was produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Yogesh Ishwar. The director has also edited the film alongside Jaskunwar Kohli, while the cinematography was handled by Rangarajan Ramabadran. Vinod Chopra's frequent collaborator Shantanu Moitra has composed the music for the film.
