New Delhi: Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s film ’12th Fail’, featuring Vikrant Massey, has achieved a big success by becoming the highest-rated Indian film on IMDb. With a stellar rating of 9.2 out of 10, the biographical drama has claimed the top spot on IMDb’s list of the top 250 Indian films. Other notable films in the top five include the 1993 animated film Ramayana: The Legend of Prince Rama, Mani Ratnam’s Nayakan, Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s Gol Maal and R Madhavan’s directorial debut Rocketry: The Nambi Effect.

’12th Fail’ has left behind a few of the biggest Hollywood blockbusters of 2023, including Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (8.6), Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer (8.4), Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (7.9), Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon (7.8), John Wick: Chapter 4 (7.7) and Gret Gerwig’s hit, Barbie (6.9), starring Margot Robbie.

Adapted from Anurag Pathak’s book and starring Vikrant Massey and Medha Shankar, ’12th Fail’ narrates the life story of Manoj Kumar Sharma. Overcoming severe poverty, Sharma went on to achieve the rank of Indian Police Service officer. The film sheds light on his journey, highlighting the pivotal role played by his wife, IRS officer Shraddha Joshi, in his success.

Speaking to ANI recently, Vikrant recalled the deep impact that the film had on him. “Even with Manoj Kumar Sharma, there were moments when Vinod sir would call a cut and I would continue weeping even after the cut was called because I just could not control myself,” he said.

Vikrant mentioned in the interview that some roles have a great impact on the actor personally. He also mentioned how playing his character in ‘A Death in the Gunj’ pushed him to dark corners. “That was the first time, after filming that film, I started taking therapy because I felt I needed to talk to someone. If you tell your parents about your worries, then they get worried so you really can’t share all these things with them,” he said.

What is IMDb rating?

As per Wikipedia, it is an acronym for Internet Movie Database, an online database of information related to films, television series, podcasts, home videos, video games, and streaming content online – including cast, production crew and personal biographies, plot summaries, trivia, ratings, and fan and critical reviews. IMDb began as a fan-operated movie database on the Usenet group “rec.arts.movies” in 1990, and moved to the Web in 1993. Since 1998, it has been owned and operated by IMDb.com, Inc., a subsidiary of Amazon.

The site’s message boards were disabled in February 2017. As of 2019, IMDb was the 52nd most visited website on the Internet, as ranked by Alexa. As of March 2022, the database contained some 10.1 million titles (including television episodes), 11.5 million person records, and 83 million registered users.
