12th Fail Box Office Collection Day 1: Vikrant Massey Film Opens At ₹1 Crore , Wait For Kangana's Movie...

12th Fail box office collection Day 1

On the first day of its release, the box office collection of the film “12th Fail” fell short of expectations. Despite the anticipation that Kangana Ranaut’s film “Tejas” would dominate the weekend, it was Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s latest offering that unexpectedly stole the spotlight.

The drama film 12th Fail, featuring Vikrant Massey as an IPS aspirant, was recently released in theaters alongside Kangana Ranaut’s action film Tejas. Despite the anticipation that Tejas, being a more prominent film, would surpass 12th Fail in terms of performance, the disparity between the two movies is minimal.

Helmed by Vidhu Vinod Chopra, 12th Fail has earned Rs 1 crore on its opening day, as per the industry tracker Sacnilk. 12th Fail managed an overall occupancy of 9.09% in the Hindi-speaking market. By comparison, Kangana’s Tejas stood just Rs 25 lakh ahead of the Vikrant Massey-starrer as it earned Rs 1.25 crore on Friday, and registered a lower occupancy.

According to Pinkvilla, PVR and Cinepolis, two national cinema chains, had already collected Rs 75 lakh by 10 pm on Friday. Despite the belief that only big-budget films attract audiences to theaters, 12th Fail has proven otherwise with its limited number of screenings. The movie was only released in 600 screens, compared to Tejas, which had a much wider release.

Vikrant, in an interview with Hindustan Times, shared that the film is not solely focused on the Hindi language, but rather on the theme of starting over and overcoming struggles in life.

Aspirants of the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) are advised by Anshumaan Pushkar, also known as Gauri Bayya, that the Civil Services Examination is like a game of snake and ladder. If a snake brings them back to where they started, they should restart from zero. This mantra is repeated throughout the second half of the movie ’12th Fail,’ as Manoj Kumar Sharma (Vikrant Massey) works hard to pass the Civil Services Examination. The movie ends with the audience applauding and shouting “restart.”
