Vikrant Massey has been acting for the time being. And I have seen him in Haseen Dilruba doing a good job. But in that movie, the focus was on Tapsee Pannu. Vikrant, although a central character, plays a side role.
And then came the 12th fail, a redemption movie for both Vikrant Massey and Vidhu Vinod Chopra. Vidhu was in limbo when he had more success as a producer than a director. He remade his Parinda movie. That seems like a low effort to revive his Directing career. But the 12th Fail came as a surprise and an effort from a great team.
The cinematography, acting, story, direction -everything was top-notch. The story was simple - exams, poor family, struggle and then ultimately win.
12th Fail is a heartwarming movie of hope, perseverance and consistency. It's a dreamy movie, and it should be taken with that intent.
The story of his friend who narrates the movie, fails and his girlfriend leaving him is the harsh reality for majority of the aspirants. But the hopeful narrative works in the movie and for cinema goers. It's a journey and you root for the hero to win. And he ultimately wins - no surprises here. But you love the journey.
Of course, Vidhu got his directorial power back.
But it shined light on a good actor Vikrant Massey who was lingering in the back.
And then his next came Sector 36 which showed his range as an actor. The movie is okay with a simple documentary-style ending. It could have been better. But the interrogation scene in the movie is enough reason to watch the movie. A gripping story, a gripping performance and someone with whom you don't want to cross paths.
Sector 36 proved again Vikrant's caliber but the movie was an okay story line.
Hope Vikrant keeps getting more meaty role and now that he got the attention, his performance will be deservingly appreciated.
