“12th Fail” emerged as the highest rated film of last year (2023). Vikrant Maasey’s heart-wrenching performance was the most appreciated part of the movie. The movie is based on a real-life IPS officer Manoj Kumar Sharma. A movie about the journey of Manoj who comes from a small town, a story about the struggles he faced as one of the millions students attempting for the toughest exam, UPSC.

In the ever evolving movie industry, where big mafia movies like Pathaan, Animal, KGF, are made, there are still some thought-provoking movies like “12th Fail”, and that’s a relief for the people who like conventional storytelling and want to strongly resonate with the cinematic experience.

I really connected with the film, I mean I wasn’t pursuing IAS but I was still doing CA and I come from a very small town so I really connected with and I messaged Vikrant Massey, he is so good in that and the whole cast,”

When asked about which director he wants to work with next, he said, “I think I really want to work with Vidhu Sir (Vinod Chopra). I always wanted to work with him. I remember my dad sending me to watch Parinda, when Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s festival was on PVR. I was a huge fan of his work. I have gone alone because my dad booked only one ticket, and I watched the film, and I was blown away, so I've been a huge fan of his work since then”

Vikrant Massey won the “Best Actor - Critics” for his phenomenal performance in the movie and he really deserved this award. His performance was top-notch, even other characters of the movie were spectacular. Medha Shankar who played the role of Shraddha Joshi, Manoj’s wife was commendable.
