The film 12th Failure was released on October 27, 2023. Today, after a year, the film related to its making has been released. The name of the movie is – Restart from Scratch. The total duration of the film is 90 minutes. Indianewsget rated it 4.5 stars out of 5.
Usually in reviews we talk about the story, directing, acting and music. This is not about what the story is like. Rather, how the story was woven. How were the actors chosen? How the locations were finalized, all those points were brought up.
At the beginning of the film, it was said that Vidhu Vinod Chopra had been working on the story of 12th Fail for two years. There was a bunch of scripts in his office. They were just working on the story and concept of the film. I was looking for a director. Two or three directors also came. Everyone found the film’s story absurd.
Then someone told Vidhu Vinod Chopra that the 12th failure is everyone’s story, what will you bring new to it? This thing kicked Vidhu. He said the special thing is that this film is every person’s story, most people will be able to connect to it. Similarly, Vidhu himself became the director of the film.
The film was released today, December 13.
Vidhu cast himself as the director of the film, but was looking for an actor for the role of IPS Manoj Sharma. Vidhu was advised to choose Varun Dhawan. He admitted that Varun Dhawan may be a talented actor, but he wouldn’t fit into the role of a village boy. Then he chose Vikrant Massey. There is no need to tell what happened next.
Vidhu Vinod Chopra (in cap) has produced films like Munnabhai MBBS, 3 Idiots and PK. Apart from this, he has also done films like Eklavya, Shikara and Parinda.
This 90-minute film can serve as a tutorial for those interested in pursuing a career in filmmaking. After watching the film, you will understand how much Vidhu Vinod Chopra understands the profession and the situation.
Vidhu himself said that he did not know whether the 12th failure would ever be realized or not. Many times he had to start from scratch. Yet he didn’t give up. The result is ahead.
Finally, the biggest question is: why should anyone go watch a movie related to making a movie? Well, this question is also natural. However, one thing I would like to say is that if you saw 12th Fail and liked it, then you can watch this movie without blinking.
How was the film made, what were the challenges? How long did it take? How the details of each scene were achieved. How many problems were there while filming at the original location? All these things were explained well in this film.
12th Fail had earned over Rs 70 crore worldwide.
After watching 12th Fail, you might have been inspired by the life of IPS Manoj Sharma, but after watching the film based on his direction, you will be convinced of the direction and passion of Vidhu Vinod Chopra.
This is the first time in the history of Indian cinema that a separate film is being made on the making video or in other words BTS (Behind the Scenes) of a film. This experience may be different and new for you, so you can comfortably watch it in the theater without any hesitation.
