Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s heartrending drama ‘12th Fail’ starring Vikrant Massey in the lead role was easily among the best Indian films which were released in 2023. Not just in India, the movie has also made a mark on a reputed international platform.
We are delighted to inform our readers that ‘12th Fail’ has cracked the ‘IMDb Top 250 Movies’ international list. As far as 2023 releases are concerned, ‘12th Fail’ has not just entered the coveted IMDb list in an ordinary manner, but the Indian film has also beaten Christopher Nolan’s blockbuster movie and a strong ‘Best Picture’ Oscar contender ‘Oppenheimer’. Moreover, ‘12th Fail’ has also outranked Golden Globe winner ‘Poor Things’ and the widely acclaimed Japanese Kaiju movie ‘Godzilla Minus One’.
As of now, ‘12th Fail’ holds Rank 57, ‘Oppenheimer’ holds Rank 74, ‘Poor Things’ holds Rank 143, and ‘Godzilla Minus One’ holds Rank 173. The only 2023 movie ahead of ‘12th Fail’ is the animated superhero flick ‘Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse’ (Rank 30).
These are the only five films from 2023 which are currently on the ‘IMDb Top 250 Movies’ of all time. Besides, ‘12th Fail’ is also the highest rated Indian movie as per IMDb’s top-rated Indian films list. So, it’s a big thing and a proud moment for Indian cinema.
Based on Anurag Pathak’s best-selling book, ‘12th Fail’ narrates the incredible and inspirational story of IPS officer Manoj Kumar Sharma (brilliantly played by Vikrant Massey) and IRS officer Shraddha Joshi (Medha Shankar). The story is set amidst the backdrop of grueling preparation by students who try to clear one of the world’s toughest exams: UPSC.
