Other films in the top five include the 1993 animated film “Ramayana: The Legend of Prince Rama,” Mani Ratnam’s “Nayakan,” Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s “Gol Maal,” and R Madhavan’s directorial debut “Rocketry: The Nambi Effect.” With an impressive rating of 9.2 out of 10, 12th Fail biographical drama has secured the top position on IMDb’s list of the top 250 Indian films. Take a look at the records that Vinod Chopra’s movie broke.
With an impeccable rating of 9.2, Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s directorial 12th Fail has left behind Hollywood’s biggest blockbuster films of 2023 like Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (8.6), Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer (8.4), Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (7.9), Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon (7.8), John Wick: Chapter 4 (7.7) and Gret Gerwig’s hit, Barbie (6.9), starring Margot Robbie.
Based on Anurag Pathak’s book and featuring Vikrant Massey and Medha Shankar in lead roles “12th Fail” tells the tale of Manoj Kumar Sharma’s life. Despite facing extreme poverty, Sharma managed to rise to the rank of Indian Police Service officer. The movie illuminates his journey, emphasising the significant contribution of his wife, IRS officer Shraddha Joshi, to his accomplishments.
In a conversation with ANI, Vikrant Massey revealed that the movie had adversely affected him. The actor stated, “Even with Manoj Kumar Sharma, there were moments when Vinod sir would call a cut and I couldn’t get hold of my tears, even after the cut was called because I just could not control myself (sic).”
During the interview, Vikrant expressed that certain roles can deeply affect an actor on a personal level. He also discussed how portraying his character in Death in the Gunj led him to explore darker aspects of his emotions.
He said, “After filming that movie, it was the first time I felt the need to seek therapy because I needed someone to talk to. It’s difficult to share these things with your parents because it worries them, so seeking professional help became important for me (sic).”
