    This is called Real Cinema

    12th Fail is a bold movie and movies like this must be made more frequently.

    Alas, nowadays making such movies isn't possible easily because masses are more inclined to watch poorly made but highly promoted movies like Kashmir Files or Kerala story.

    This will surely inspire many and will give morale boost to many aspirants and will give it's viewer to think after watch.

    Direction is superb and acting of Vikrant Messy is top notch.

    All Hail Vikrant Massey & Vidhu Vinod Chopra As They Shape The Most Pure, Personal & Brave Hindi Film In A Long Time.

    12th Fail deserves an audience, and we, as cinephiles, deserve cinema that respects us. Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Vikrant Massey have served one.

    An excellent watch. Made for everyone

    Superlative acting by each person in the movie, even those playing much smaller roles. The fact that it is based on a true story makes you really understand and appreciate what the person went through and how he achieved it. Dadi is awesome 😎

    Vikrant Massey plays the character with such ease. Do read how he prepared for the movie. It reminds me of Aamir Khan. Medha Shankar, Anshumaan Pushkar, Anant Joshi have portrayed their roles beautifully.

    The storyline flows effortlessly from the beginning and the narration by Anant is superb. What you also live through is the hard work that people put in while preparing for the UPSC exams, especially those coming from far flung villages of the country.

    A movie that you would definitely want the kids in the family to see. Congratulations to the entire cast and crew. You have delivered a masterpiece !

    Simply Outstanding!

    First of all it is important to thank Vidhu Vinod Chopra for making this film. The story has been told in such a heartwarming way that the audience is totally involved in this inspiring story of grit, determination and victory against all odds. The performances are award worthy. Vikram Massey is outstanding in the lead role and is well supported by the rest of the cast. The direction, screenplay and editing are top notch. Unfortunately in India the over the top and illogical films become blockbusters and the really outstanding films don't do well commercially. I hope the Indian audience views such films as it will encourage film makers to do top quality work of international standards. This film falls in category that the Hindi film industry should feel proud of.

    Best movie of 2023

    The latest work by this writer is an astonishing tour de force that transcends the boundaries of conventional storytelling, immersing the audience in an unparalleled experience of vivid realism. From the very beginning, it grabs your attention and doesn't let go, even during the intermission, ensuring that you remain thoroughly engrossed throughout.

    The level of craftsmanship displayed in this production is truly remarkable. The characters come to life in such a way that you feel an emotional connection with them, as if they were right there with you. The plot unfolds with a perfect blend of suspense and emotion, creating a narrative that is both compelling and relatable.

    One of the exceptional aspects of this work is its ability to motivate and inspire. There are scenes and moments that are so powerful that you'll want to revisit them multiple times. I wholeheartedly recommend watching it twice, not only to savor the intricate details of the story but also to capture and save those awe-inspiring sequences for future inspiration.

    The production values are top-notch. The set designs, costumes, and special effects are executed with precision and artistry. They transport you to the world of the story, making it feel like you're an active participant in the narrative.

    In summary, this is a remarkable achievement in the realm of storytelling. It goes beyond mere entertainment; it's an experience that lingers in your thoughts long after the final curtain falls. The writer's skill and the entire cast and crew's dedication shine brightly, making this a must-see production. If you seek a truly exceptional and motivating story that will leave you awestruck, this is unquestionably the best choice. Don't miss the opportunity to be a part of this unforgettable journey.

    Truly exceptional.
