12th Fail is shot with real students in real locations. With Vikrant Massey-starrer, Vidhu Vinod Chopra returns as director after three years.
Filmmaker Vidhu Vinod Chopra returns as director, and the trailer of his next directorial venture, 12th Fail, released on October 3. Fans of Vinod’s distinctive brand of thought-provoking entertainers found the trailer to be ticking all the right boxes.
The trailer features Vikrant Massey in the lead and has glimpses of the protagonist’s journey from a small village in Chambal to the bustling nerve centre of UPSC preparation in Delhi’s Mukherjee Nagar. The ensemble cast is also very interesting and punchy dialogues are the highlights of the trailer.
12th Fail, based on a real story, draws from the gritty struggles of millions of students who attempt the UPSC entrance exam. But at the same time, it goes beyond that one exam and encourages people to not lose heart in the face of failures and to keep fighting.
Talking about the film, Vidhu Vinod Chopra said, "In today's times, I wanted to tell a story of hope, a story of never giving up. 12th Fail is all that and more. I have laughed, cried, sung along, and had fun making this movie. I truly believe that this film will find a universal connect when it comes out in theatres."
Watch the trailer
Most who come to prepare for IPS and IAS exams from villages possess very little money and belongings, though they still chart a path for themselves. The whole scenario of 12th Fail revolves around the willpower of a few individuals to rise up from the dirt and become government officers.
The trailer features some very punching and hard-hitting dialogues such as, “Don’t make people respect you because of your seat and uniform. Rather, make them respect you so that they themselves respect the seat and uniform.”
Another such dialogue is: “These people who come to prepare for IPS, they come like a herd of cattle. They have nothing and come from small, poor backgrounds. But it is not that they don’t bring anything, they have willpower and zeal. It is unbreakable, and that is more than enough.”
12th Fail is based on the novel by Anurag Pathak which draws from the real-life story of the millions of students who attempt the UPSC entrance exam. It shows how these people come in droves, possess very little and receive next to no encouragement while being mocked. 12th Fail, a film by Vidhu Vinod Chopra, is set to release worldwide on October 27th in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada.
