What an amazing film Vidhu Vinod Chopra has made at the age of 71. This film is the story of a stubborn man who wants to achieve a lot in life. What surprised me about the film is how it broke all the conventions of mainstream films. He has shot the scenes of '12th Fail' in simple long shots.

The director is so confident in himself, his actors and his story that he has used very little background music. I hope this film has set a new benchmark for film directors like me who are a little lost. My best wishes to the entire team.

It was my misfortune that I could not find time to watch this film in the theatre.
