Anurag Kashyap: Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s ’12th Fail’ is benchmark for filmmakers like me

On Friday, director Anurag Kashyap gave star Vikrant Massey’s new movie “12th Fail” a lot of praise. Anurag posted a picture for “12th Fail” and a long note on Instagram. In his writing, he said, “@vidhuvinodchoprafilms, at the age of 71, has made a masterpiece out of a simple story of a man who refuses to be satisfied with what life gives him.” He takes what he wants and does it in a certain way.

He said, “What amazed me about the film is how he breaks all conventions of mainstream and has scenes done in simple long shots–the crowd scenes of Mukherji Nagar, which feel like the camera just happened to watch the story unfold without disturbing the atmosphere.” “It was like we were watching the movie from behind a wall.” Mainstream films always avoid having a background sound that isn’t very loud. Because the director believes in himself, his players, and his story, he doesn’t use background music to control the audience or their feelings. This is the best age for a director to be at the top of his storytelling game. That means I have hope too.”

I feel like VVC has set a new standard for producers like me who have been lost. Thanks to the players and the whole team, which I don’t know. Like @vikrantmassey, @medhashankr, @anshumaan_pushkar, @anantvjoshi, as well as the photographer Ranga, the production designer, the writers, and the music directors. But VVC saw it in a way that I could never have. I’ve met Manoj and read the book.

“It’s on Hotstar and a must-watch,” he said in the end. I couldn’t find time to see it in a theatre, but I did see it on my TV. If you get the chance, you should see this movie. Thank you, VVC, for making me feel good. May you never really grow up and always be the spoiled brat you are, even though you’re 71 years old. Sending you a big hug and love. I’m ready to start over.” “12th Fail” is about people who want to work for the UPSC and is based on real events. It’s based on the hard times that millions of students go through while taking the UPSC entrance test.

Vikrant told ANI about working on the movie, “It’s a typical Vidhu Vinod Chopra movie; it’s based on the truth and is a very powerful movie.” It was hard to play the part. I had to get more dark skin and lose weight. Many famous people have said nice things about the movie, including Kamal Haasan, Rishabh Shetty, Sanjay Dutt, Farhan Akhtar, and Anil Kapoor.

As of October 27, Kangana Ranaut’s “Tejas” and Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s “12th Fail” were both in cinemas at the same time.
