Based on Anurag Pathak’s bestselling novel of the same name, 12th Fail is a celebration of millions of students and their tireless spirit of never giving up. The film is the true story of IPS officer Manoj Kumar Sharma hailing from a small town in Chambal - who fearlessly embraced the idea of restarting his academic journey and reclaiming his destiny at a place where millions of students attempt for the world’s toughest competitive exam - UPSC.
The film is not just a chronicle of one man’s journey but a celebration of everyone who dared to look at failures as an opportunity to #RESTART. Shot on real locations with real students, 12th Fail is an honest take on the bustling student life, their daunting challenges and friendships that stand the test of times.
