About 12th Fail

12th Fail, based on a true story, draws from the struggles of the millions of students who attempt the UPSC entrance exam. But at the same time, it goes beyond that one exam and encourages people to not lose heart in the face of failure and to restart. It is inspired by Anurag Pathak’s best-selling novel, of the same name and traces the journey of IPS Officer Manoj Kumar Sharma and IRS Officer Shraddha Joshi.
