Directed by Vidhu Vinod Chopra, ’12th Fail’ depicts the journey of Manoj, a determined youth from Chambal striving to fulfill his dream of becoming an IPS officer. The film chronicles his struggles, resilience, and the hurdles he encounters during the fiercely competitive Union Public Service Commission exams, highlighting the importance of perseverance and integrity.

Witnessing the film running in theatres even 25 weeks after its release makes us believe in the power of good cinema and quality content. It reaffirms that if you tell an honest story, or tell a story with complete honesty, it will go a long way. It’s wonderful to know that 12th Fail is spreading hope and I’m sure more doors will open and more such films will be made in the future.”
