He has lived his characters completely. There were moments in the film when my eyes were moist. This film gives a strong message of hope. On behalf of the entire staff and my colleagues in the Supreme Court, I would like to thank the team of '12th Fail' for spending the evening with us.
Director Vidhu Vinod Chopra said, 'It was one of the most beautiful evenings of my life, because I was sitting and watching the film with a person who understood everything I said in the film. Today I feel that if I have given five years of my life to this film, then it has been successful. I am grateful to all the respected judges and members of the Supreme Court who took out time to join us.
What is the story of the film- This film is based on writer Anurag Pathak's book '12th Fail'. The title of the film has also remained the same. The main essence of the film is that the loser is the one who did not fight. Although this film of Vidhu Vinod Chopra is inspired by the real life of IPS Manoj Kumar Sharma, it is the story of youth from every village and small town of the country.
