Cinematography and Direction
Vidhu Vinod Chopra is celebrated for taking the smallest of care while creating art and ‘12th Fail’ will now be an example of that.

The director manages to maintain equipoise between the emotional heft of each scene and aesthetics making sure that with every frame, storytelling gets a bit more layered.
The film is slick and easily watchable, with a narrative that unfolds at a steady clip under the direction of Chopra. The film never attempts to make a melodrama and tries very hard to establish an emotional connection between its constituents and the audience. Every frame is constructed to engage with you at a time, and so evokes contemplation of the negative edges that happen on-screen in this essayistic exploration of failure, endurance, and optimism.
Music and Soundtrack
Barely going over-the-top in “12th Fail“, the music just adds to the tone of the film with soulful tunes that do tip off for some climactic scenes of emotions as well.
