New Delhi [India], September 23 (ANI): Vidhu Vinod Chopra's '12th Fail' bagged two national awards at the 71st National Film Awards 2025.

The awards ceremony took place in New Delhi, where Chopra received the Best Feature Film award from President Droupadi Murmu.

"I believe officers like Manoj Sharma are the reason why a lot of people get National Awards. There should be more officers like him," Chopra told ANI.

The film, adapted from Anurag Pathak's book, stars Vikrant Massey in the lead role as Sharma, with Medha Shankr playing Shraddha Joshi, a fellow UPSC aspirant who becomes his companion.

The story of grit, failure, and determination touched audiences across the country, turning the film into a surprise box-office success after its October 27, 2023, release.
