12th Fail

It’s been more than two months since the Vikrant Massey-led 12th Fail came to OTT in its Hindi original version, a time in which Kannada audiences have repeatedly made requests for the dubbed version to be made available. The demand arose, as the film’s theatrical release included a Kannada-dubbed version, so netizens wondered why it was not part of the OTT package back in December.

Directed by Vidhu Vinod Chopra, 12th Fail is the true-life story of Manoj Kumar Sharma’s journey from failing in grade 12 to cracking the prestigious UPSC exam and becoming a high-ranking IPS official.
