12th Fail movie download is a 2023 Indian Hindi-language biographical drama film produced, written and directed by Vidhu Vinod Chopra. It is based on the 2019 eponymous non-fiction book by Anurag Pathak about the real-life story of Manoj Kumar Sharma, who overcame extreme poverty to become an Indian Police Service officer. The film stars Vikrant Massey in the title role, alongside Medha Shankar, Anant V Joshi, Anshumaan Pushkar, and Priyanshu Chatterjee.
Born in the dacoit-infested Chambal Valley, Manoj Kumar Sharma is the son of an upright clerk working for the Mayor and the grandson of a subedar who died in action. His father and grandmother are both extremely honest in their ways and do not believe in corruption. Due to this unflinching belief, Manoj's father is suspended for hitting a corrupt officer. Manoj prepares cheat slips for his Class 12 final exam, as do all his batch mates, with the arrangements being under the influence of the local MLA who dictates that all students must pass. However, the newly transferred police officer, DSP Dushyant Singh, ignores the MLA's calls in the school and arrests the headmaster, when the latter tries to bribe him. As a result, all the students, including Manoj, fail the exam. Meanwhile, his father goes to challenge his suspension in the High Court, leaving the burden of the family to Manoj and his elder brother. The brothers decide to put together a traveling rickshaw and charge fees so that can help out at home.
Manoj's brother is arrested on false charges for hitting the local henchman of the mayor after he tries to get their passengers to travel on a bus; the corrupt police officers try to frame them as well. After he is instigated for bringing his grandfather's rifle to save his brother from being shot by the SHO, Manoj instead rushes to Dushyant's house, who bails his brother out. When Manoj requests to learn as to how to become a high-ranking officer like Dushyant, Dushyant advises him to "stop cheating."
One year later, Manoj passes his exams, albeit in the third division, without cheating and chooses to pursue Bachelor of Arts in History and Hindi Literature to become a DSP. His grandmother gives him all her savings as he sets out to study in the government PSC coaching centre in Gwalior, but loses all his belongings along the way after he falls asleep. He starts to roam around the streets with empty stomach when another news hits him: The Madhya Pradesh Government has decided to stop the Group I exams of Madhya Pradesh Public Service Commission for next three years, since the government is low on funds to employ new officials. This destroys his dream of becoming a direct recruit Deputy Superintendent of Police. He roams until he is about to faint, but a local hotel owner near the local railway station gives him a meal.
There he meets Pritam Pandey, who had also come to study for the PSC exam. Pandey's rich contractor father calls him and tells him to prepare for the UPSC exam in Delhi. Manoj learns about UPSC and travels with Pritam to Delhi to study and become an IPS officer. He meets Gauri Bhaiya who is working up his last attempt to clear the examination and provides Manoj with job opportunities and a place to study. However, Gauri Bhaiya is unable to clear his final attempt. Deciding to move on, Gauri Bhaiya opens a coaching institute and a tea stall named 'Restart' and provides his services for free.
The following year, Manoj attempts the preliminary examinations, but fails. With Gauri Bhaiya's help, he reappears and manages to clear it. During a visit to a coaching centre, he meets Shraddha Joshi from Mussoorie, who is aiming for the UPSC and Uttarakhand Public Service Commission, and falls in love with her. Despite his best efforts, Manoj fails to clear his main examinations that year as well; his initially budding relationship with Shraddha hits a brief block when she learns of his true identity as a literature graduate rather an aeronautical engineer. He then decides to work even harder, though it yields the same result. He returns home and finds that his grandmother has died.
Now, a frustrated Gauri Bhaiya moves Manoj to his own house and tells him to give up working odd jobs and start to completely focus on his studies. He does so, and finally clears the main examinations as well, with help from Shraddha, who by this time has cleared her UKPSC examinations to become a Deputy Collector. Around this time, Pritam, who had repeatedly failed all his exams, gets jealous of Manoj and maligns him and Shraddha by claiming she has been "sleeping" with Manoj. This causes a wrench in their relationship, but eventually it is cleared, even though Manoj becomes very angry with Pritam. He had realized earlier that Pritam wanted to work as a reporter even though his father was forcing him to pursue the UPSC and advised Pritam to stand up against his father.
Manoj gives his interview and honestly responds to all the questions. He reads a letter written to him by Shraddha asking him to marry her. He happily gives the interview and comes out smiling. Two months later, when the results are declared, Manoj realizes he has got the rank to become an IPS officer and breaks down crying with emotion. One year later, he becomes a high-ranking IPS officer in Uttarakand to be with Shradda, and goes to meet DSP Dushyant Singh at the police station in Mandsaur, Madhya Pradesh to thank the DSP for encouraging him to give up cheating and gives him his wedding invitation card. Dushyant at first does not recognize Manoj but later is filled with joy on recalling fully and embraces Manoj for his success. The film ends as Manoj celebrates his wedding with his friends and family, finally having won against the tides of the cruel and competitive education system, with Pritam chipping in as the reporter, finally pursuing his dream.
