Forget Bollywood clichés, 12th Fail is a breath of fresh air. With crisp editing and stunning visuals, it tells the feel-good story of Manoj, a chronic exam-failer battling societal scorn. But Manoj's resilience is inspiring, and the film's unique perspective celebrates alternative paths to success.
Vikrant Massey shines as Manoj, while the film smartly reflects on education pressures and surprises with innovative storytelling. More than just entertainment, 12th Fail is a warm embrace, reminding us that success comes in many forms and unexpected detours can lead to fulfilling destinations. Recommended without reservation!
