12th Fail

12th Fail (12वीं फेल, 2023) is an Indian biographical drama you can watch online on iFILM — directed by Vidhu Vinod Chopra, starring Vikrant Massey, 147 minutes.

Manoj Kumar Sharma failed 12th grade. He tried again. Then he decided to go after the UPSC — India's civil-services exam, where millions sit each year and only a fraction pass. The film follows his years of setbacks, cramped study rooms, and the woman who stayed by his side. Based on a real IPS officer's life, it skips the single-breakthrough moment; the grind is the point.

At 147 minutes, it does not waste a scene. For anyone who has ever restarted something they had every reason to quit, the film lands hard. Stream 12th Fail online on iFILM.
