Achieving a significant milestone, ‘12th Fail’ has been selected as the closing film for the esteemed Macau Asia-Europe Young Cinema Film Festival.


Esteemed filmmaker Vidhu Vinod Chopra is set to grace the festival, attending the screening of ‘12th Fail’ movie on 11th January in Macao.  The movie '12th Fail' is based on Anurag Pathak’s book of the same name that tells the true story of Manoj Kumar Sharma, who overcame hard circumstances to become an Indian Police Service officer. It draws from the gritty struggles of millions of students who attempt the UPSC entrance exam. The movie inspired by real-life stories, delves into the relentless struggles of millions of students attempting the UPSC entrance exam. However, it goes beyond being just a film about an exam; it is a compelling narrative that encourages people to persevere in the face of failures and to keep fighting for their dreams.


On working on the film, Vikrant had told ANI, "The movie is very typical Vidhu Vinod Chopra movie which is based on hard reality and is a very hard-hitting film. The role was very challenging. I had to lose weight and darken my skin."

The film delves deep into themes that strike a chord with audiences, delivering a truly immersive viewing experience. Both critics and audiences have lauded the film's narrative and Vikrant's outstanding and effortless portrayal.

Surpassing the notable Rs 50 crores milestone and celebrating over 50 successful days in cinemas, the film exemplifies the principle that genuine content resonates with audiences. Such accomplishments underscore the film's widespread appeal and the increasing demand for content-driven storytelling.

Beyond the film's financial achievements, Vikrant’s ability to infuse life into his character has earned admiration from peers and industry veterans alike. His role further cements his stature as a leading figure in contemporary cinema, highlighting his exceptional talent.
