12th Fail
Manage episode 393346317 series 3255221
Is 12th Fail actually one of the best Hindi movies of 2023 or is it massively overrated?
We find ourselves wondering why writer-director Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s latest film is getting rave reviews, because all we could see was a deeply problematic, all too simplistic story about a young man let down by society.
We also talk about Vikrant Massey’s performance, and the egregious brown-face makeup that he’s been coated with.
Along the way, we discuss the film’s flawed perspective and disinterest in examining the more complex aspects of what is an undoubtedly stirring true story.
