12th Fail Triumph: Vikrant Massey's Surprise Box Office Hit Crosses 50 Crores

Breaking through the initial obscurity, '12th Fail' surprised both audiences and industry insiders alike, with its trailer acting as a catalyst for a commendable opening. The film, starring Vikrant Massey and led by director Vidhu Vinod Chopra, not only garnered solid reviews but also benefited significantly from positive word of mouth, a factor that reflected in its robust box office performance. Even the release of Salman Khan's much-anticipated 'Tiger 3' two weeks later failed to deter '12th Fail' as it continued to draw impressive footfalls.

The recent revelation that '12th Fail' has exceeded the 50 crores nett mark at the box office adds another layer to its unexpected success story. This achievement is particularly noteworthy, considering that even some high-profile releases with big-name stars have struggled to reach this milestone in recent times.

Starring Medha Shankar as the female lead and drawing inspiration from the lives of IPS Officer Manoj Kumar Sharma and IRS Officer Shraddha Joshi, '12th Fail' boasts a strong supporting cast, including Priyanshu Chatterjee, Sanjay Bishnoi, and Harish Khanna. Vidhu Vinod Chopra, serving as both the writer and director, has, along with Zee Studios, produced a film that has defied expectations and proven its resilience in the competitive landscape of the Bollywood box office.
