This was a movie that we were warned about, told not to review, and avoid since it was not known for its Musical Complexity, composition and just overall not a MUSICALE per se like we are so used in India.
However, we wanted to check out something different, something critically acclaimed. To our surprise 12th FAIL delivers one of the most interesting and outstanding Music Scores we have ever heard from Indian Cinema coming from a familiar music composer Shantanu Moitra, we were blown away.
Enjoy and feel free to send our dissection to him! We are huge fans now!
Cannot emphasise enough how much better of an experience it is when you are part of the Feature Friday Movie club. No cuts, Full music reviews, just have a copy of the film and synch it to ours! 🍿

U guys should watch Sardar Udham next. It will blow your mind. The film depicts early 1900s Britain geopolitics with immense accuracy
Hell yes!!!
yaaaa it is very impactful filmm
The best film in all department in the last 10 years.🎉
100% one of the best movies in recent years
+1!
love how waleska is obsessed with the word "bohot" and gets giddy every time she hears it and efra is the same when it comes to "zindagi" it's adorable >.
theyre so cute i swear😭😭
@@friedshrimpsareusuallybland their hindi accent is cute too ❤😂
OMG guys you're on the right path I'd say ... Bestest and unexpected ❤
21.46.. when Shraddha is singing, you see a couple sitting behind them. It's the real life Manoj and his wife on whom this movie is based on :)
3 Idiots was directed by Rajkumar Hirani, it was only produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra.
Vikrant Massey is a great actor who works on very interesting projects. Most of his work has been in supporting roles, but the success of this film finally brought him the attention he deserves. I would recommend A Death in the Gunj where he playes the main role. He also had great supporting roles in Lootera and Dil Dhadakne Do.
Vidhu Vinod Chopra was also the writer of 3 idiots
How did I just realize that that was Vikrant Massey in Dil Dhadakne Do?
Also, Vikrant took retirement from acting recently :(
@@chillinwithparitosh*break
@@chillinwithparitosh it's a break, not retirement. He said he feels burned out and wants some time to focus on his family, but he's not leaving films forever.
I think the whole preparation to final cut of the movie took like 5-6 years, so this a well thought out movie. Btw the professor that teaches in this movie was the actual professor of Manoj and Shraddha. His name is Vikas Divyakirti and he also helped in the writing process of the movie.
The Narrator and the Friend who betrayed Manoj was the writer of the Book on Manoj's life and the movie was based on that book. His name is Anurag Pathak and now he is a media personality.
Probably You guys don't know the seriousness of UPSC in India that's the reason you didn't feel very connected to it in the scene like him working in a flour mill, or his father visiting and the last passing scene but I think every indian who watched it cried. This movie is one of the movies I have ever seen. It is so inspirational. ❤️❤️
Please do more such reactions. Love you guys
Let's goo! Btw the actor playing the officer, who inspired the lead character to be like him, is in the film tum bin. you've checked out the koi fariyad mv before so you might remember him.
Yes. They probably know him because they loved the koi fariyad song and their acting.
49:39 well Vidhu did mention that he invited Vikrant (Manoj) at his house for script reading I guess and there Vikrant acted out the opening scene where you see him writing notes. Vidhu said that Vikrant flawlessly got into the character of a teenager, his whole body language changed and that's when he knew he would be perfect for the role.
Hum Saath Saath Hain full movie
Couldn't agree more with you guys. The film is perfect. The long takes. The incredible sound design. One thing you may have noticed is the theme that plays on the sitar when Manoj is at home. And Shraddha has a theme which is the humming female vocals. Towards the end of the film after Manoj reads her letter, Shraddha's theme plays but instead of the female vocals humming it's on the sitar. Symbolizing that she's now part of home. Brilliant!
I’m so badly missing you guys!!!! Waiting for you while watching old videos!! I hope you are enjoying the holidays! Love you soo much!! I really miss all the sibling bickering 💜and thank youuu for this surprise
Same here😢
Get a life
I was having withdrawals 😅
21:45, while she is singing, you can see real manoj and shraddha behind them, sitting there...
❤
0:38 vidhu vinod chopra is not director of 3 idiots he was just a producer of that film, Raj kumar hirani was the director of 3 idiots
VVC was the writer too
10:34 Dude wtf is wrong with the Indian Map there?!
12th fail, laapata ladies and Kill.. the best movies of 2024 across languages.. besides them, there were 5-6 amazing malayalam ones (as usual) [esp. KishKindha Kaandam ] and 2 Tamil ones too..
12th Fail was late 2023
Fun fact: In the initial scenes, the background score for Manoj is using instruments that represents him and Shraddha similarly has a specific music that is played in her scenes. When Manoj reads her letter towards the end, the music is a combination of both their music pieces played initially.
Also, the movie has many many single shots/takes which are 3-4min of straightup acting like the scene of Manoj going to shraddha’s home and the call is all one take.
Indian school system is 10+2, after 10th standard there are 2 more years of school as per your selected stream like Maths, Biology, Arts etc.
After 12th standard then college and university for professional degree.
Ahh man never expected I will cry again even in a reaction video. That scene when he goes home and his mom says that uniform line gets me everytime. Watched the movie 2 times...CRIED there and then watched other 2 reaction and CRIED and now again CRIED. This is such a good movie man loved it ❤
i have watched this 3 times and still cried at the end. I guess as a neet aspirant i feel it in my bones
Was waiting for this❤
Just a note as an old follower of your channel.
Do not take what's shown to be the case for the whole of India 😅
Different states in India have different customs and even in each state there are different stereotypes.
This particular movie focuses on Madhya Pradesh, literally translates to "the central state"of India and the region where the protagonist is from hence they show this background 🎊
21:12 the real shradha and manoj sitting behind them on table...❤❤
Time for Sardar Udham guys.....need you to delve into a dark side of Indian History👉👈
the instrumental music's are from satyajit ray's movie 'pother panchali ' which is the first oscar winning movie from india. you guys should watch that
No way! Are you guys seriously reacting this Movie? ❤ Thanku for accepting the request
Guys watch Swades. It shows the authentic cinematic village of India. Great cast, great story, iconic music. You will love it.
Next should be "Sardar udham singh"
The flute musical theme is a homage to the great Indian director Satyajit Ray and his contribution to world cinema (the flute theme is prominent in the Apu Trilogy of Satyajit Ray). You should check his movies. For reference he was awarded the oscars for his lifetime contribution to world cinema. One of the greatest fimmakers of the world who inspired later hollywood directors like spielberg, scorcese, wes andersson to name a few.
Guys plz watch sardar udham its a brilliant movie.
13:35 ALL of it is true, not some of it.
This movie felt relatable. I have been giving bank exam for like 5 years. I cleared prelims and then mains. I have been reached upto interview twice. But didn't clear final list. In December I again gave mains exam and waiting for results. The mental pressure I get all the time I have given for preparation of these exams and results just breaks you down. The amount of competition makes it even more difficult to achieve these dreams.
Private mai start karlo bhai, banking terms and procedures mai kaam aayega
9:38
This scene is also very heart warming for me
Because when i was in college
My grandmother secretly gave money to my single mom to pay my college fees.😣💖
Vote for laapata Ladies and My Name is Khan next
Waiting for my name is Khan
I vote editor' choice 51:09 please do react this movie and the sequel also
0:40, no darlings, VVC produced 3 Idiots and Munna Bhai (both of them), but his good friend Raj kumar Hirani directed them
VVC did direct Parinda and 1942 Love Story
YOU GUYS SHOULD DEFINITELY WATCH EK VILLAIN. it really pulls at your heartstrings and the music too doesnt disappoint! if nothing else sidharth malhotra’s striking looks and handsome face makes it worth watching
Congratulations 55k guys ⭐♥️
Bro pls request for Gadar movie too 🙃pls
Hy discord link h bro inki?
A kind note to the editor
Please use correct map of India 🇮🇳😊
Vidhu Vinod Chopra was the producer of 3 idiots and munna bhai not director
Writer was VVC
you guys seeing 2 hours movie in 40 minutes that's crazy
49:02 bro efra barely yaps, waleska is the og pro max at that. First half of the movie was ruined because of the technical analysis of lights camera music every second, takes audience out of the story. Even jaby explains about technical things, but mostly in the end or in middle if the shot is actually impressive and worth mentioning. Watch movies without pressure of being a reviewer, love you both❤
Why don't u continue Drishyam 2
Its not like bhool bhulaiyaa where sequals are another stories.
10:33 guys please use the correct map of India,
I hope one day vidhu sir will watch your reaction. Because I almost watch every other reaction but the way you go deep into layers and details is amazing and educational. Vidhu sir lives for these small observations and will appreciate your reaction . It's been 3 years following your content ❤
10:33 please correct map of INDIA
HI NANNA(2023) deserves a Friday Feature on the channel guys. Perefect blend of music and story for you romantics. Waleska get ready to fall in love and bawl your eyes out.❤❤
I've been requesting this since forever!
Me commenting from future 2060.. as they announced “My Name Is Khan” reaction as in 2024!!
i am preparing for the very same exam ie UPSC and i'd say that the struggle is real. i study for long hours and barely have a social life. the preparation is gruelling but i want to be a diplomat and i hopefully will become one someday. the weight students carry on their shoulders is pretty devastating. lets see how it goes for me.
Next , watch some series like...
1. Family man S1 , 2
2. Panchayat
3. Spacial ops
4. Kota factory
Add bandish bandits
👍👍
If you genuinely want to see a musical film that too about marathi classical music, you should watch katyar kaljat ghusli! This movie has rahul deshpande, mahesh kale, shankar mahadevan and also arijit singh singing in marathi and hindi songs .. it is truly a magical experience
WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU GUYS!!!!!????????? WHY AREN'T YOU UPLOADING??????? MISSED YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!
They're on a break for new years
Holidays
"Jersey" Telugu movie please! One of the most celebrated movie of India and an award winning film.
Vikrant has actually retired from his acting career now , but he is one of the finest actors in the industry ✨
No he is not retired. He later clarified that he will be taking a long break from acting.
Oh okay my bad
I don't know if i enjoy their reaction more or the editor's editing skills 🤣🤣🤣🤣 1:01
Please react to Dil dhadakne do, you'll love the sibling relationship in that and its such a feel good movie 💕 Waleska would for sure love itt
Life of an Indian Student -> Play school (1 and half years to 2 years of age) Nursery (2 yrs & 6 mths Approx), Kindergarten, Class(or Standard) 1st - 9th, Then State Board for Class 10th then Class 11th and Class 12th State Board. Then College for Bachelors (in Commerce, Arts, Engineering, Business , etc.) with durration mostly of 3 years. Finally Higher Studies/Masters/Professional (Masters in Eng/Math/Sc/Eco etc. or Medical or LAW or MTech or MBA). Duration varies as per different streams, 2-5 years. So typically if a guy is a Masters in English, take for an example, he would have - 2 years + 10 yrs + 2 years + 3 years + 2 years = 19 years of education.
One of the best biographies in bollywood. I would highly recommend "SHERSHAAH" next!!
Please watch 96 , a South Indian movie, you're gonna love ittt ,
This type of struggle came after the British looted us. You can watch British colonials in India
welcome back! and happy new year.. was waiting for your movie content :)
Hey please do Padmavati I am waiting for that movie 🎬 you love that movie
For a movie with just straight up music and great album watch Katyar Kaljat Ghusli or Me Vasantarao both are based on classical music.
When he was crying my sisters was too
Maybe because her exams are going on😂
But the pain, depression , guilt the responsibilities, the pressure of parents hope
Is too much
Only people who have gone through it will know
Please react to katyal kaljat ghusli , it is a marathi movie with full of Indian classical music, a must watch for all music lovers ❤️❤️❤️
By the way, this story starts in Chambal - the ultimate 'badlands' of India - a region of broken cliffs, ravines, winding gulleys, some with seasonal river, etc. and only main river being chambal river - this region of India was the 'wild wild west' of India until maybe a couple decades ago or even now - this is where most of the banditry happened, this region in this time period would've been like 300 times more corrupt/wild wild west style than anywhere else in India.
OH MY GODDD!!!! ..... was just watching Bahubali and now you've uploaded new video !! 😭😭 Best Day !! ❤❤
U guys should react to NH10 absolute worth it
Please watch Amir Khan's "Lagaan" movie
Been begging for this! 😭🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Next, please watch "Sardar Udham" and "Bhaag Milkha Bhaag"
Sooo glad you guys reacted to this brilliant film. I loved your reaction and comments.
Please react to “Lapataa Ladies” another brilliant movie.
I love your Hindi content but pls watch a Malayalam movie! Start with kumbalangi nights it’s so good. You guys need to be introduced to Fahad Fazil and the industry.
Vidhu vinod Chopra, director of this movie was the producer of 3 idiots. 3 idiots was directed by Rajkumar hirani
Guys where are youuu
Please give us a good watch
It's been 2 weeks 😔😔
You guys should watch gangs of wasseypur. It's the most critically acclaimed film of Bollywood
The Flute Used in this film Is Inspired from The Legendary film Ever The Trilogy #Pather Panchali..By The Maestro The Legend Satyajit Ray/Roy ...
Proud Bengali 💖🙏🙌
Waiting for Dil to pagal hai👋
VVC and Raju Hirani worked together in Munna Bhai, 3 idiots and Pk.
It’s ironic that they both parted ways, and Hirani made Dunki which wasn’t as good as any of his previous films and VVC made 12th Fail which was in my opinion the best movie of 2023
Guys. We all are forgetting one masterpiece. That is “i hate luv stories” … that movie and its songtracks! THEY ARE A BLAST. THEY DONT MAKE MOVIES LIKE THAT ANYMORE. It feels like a mixture of old and modern. BUT like the PERFECT COMBO. YOU MUST REACT TO THE SONGS AND THE MOVIE PLEASE.
I am also an officer working for the government. I can say that its a common method test a candidate in Pakistan and India. They want to see your reaction against aggression. If you can stay calm you can handle a position of power.
Hey, you should check out Bandish Bandits! It’s a beautiful series that blends classical Indian music with contemporary pop. The story revolves around two musicians from completely different worlds, their struggles, and their journey together. The music is incredible, and it’s a must-watch for anyone who loves a mix of tradition and modernity.
Yayyy one of my favorite movies!! Guys give this series a try: Bandish Bandits. It is music based and I think you will like it.
In India we have board exams in 10th and 12th standard ie. the question paper making and checking for finals is not done by schools. The paper is made and checked by an authority called central board of secondary education (CBSE) or state board council of every state and all the schools of entire India that come under them will have same question paper made by their board. so basically in 10th and 12th standard we do not compete within our schools but there is a competition b/w students of entire country.
now after 10th result we have different streams eg. PCM (physics, chem,maths) +ENGLISH +1 OPTIONAL SUB or PCB (physics, chem,biology) +ENGLISH +1 OPTIONAL or Commerce+ associated subjects or Humanities+ associated subjects .and then we only study the choosen set of subjects according to what we want to do in future for two years till 12th standard and then after passing 12th board exams we appear for various competitive exams like JEE for engineering or NEET for medical field or CLAT for law or UPSE for civil services etc etc... and all these Exams are one of the toughest exams and are conducted once and all the students in country compete for limited seats with high cutoff to get into desired college for further studies. And then for post graduation we again have to give competitive exams in some fields specially in medical field.
this is how it goes. I've tried to explain in short:)
Our Indian education system is 10+2 +3+2😂 1 to 10th 11and 12th is one session for two years, Graduation for 3years and Masters (real University )for 2years. Now the education policy 2024 has changed the policy but it has not yet come into full and proper action yet. It's now going to be 10+2+4+1
Criminal justice was something else for India... One of the pioneers of webseries in India along with Asur
The actor is truly a sweetheart but the movie itself was ordinary. Guys, bffr
'Death in a Gunj' now that's a phenomenal movie
Nah. This was a phenomenal movie. IMDB also agrees - it's rated around 9/10.
All of this is true. We are a country of over billion. The competition is intense, and opportunities are scarce. Basic amenities like right to education is not accessible to all .
You guys can understand the emotions and dialogues so well, it feels enjoy to watch with you. Some scene I didn’t understand when I watch alone but with you guys I understood more. 😊
10:32 wtf with the map, It boiling my blood change it for your own good.
This is true, why the fuck they post a wrong map
Lmao do you think they know or care
@ritu8985 but I do you dodo!
@@ritu8985 but we care and it's never late to teach them if they really didn't know
Thank you for this. I don't understand how someone could say that this movie wasn't musically great. I think this movie is musically brilliant. Trivia: The main sitar theme of this movie (by Moitra) is inspired from the theme of the Bengali classic film 'Pather Panchali (1955)' directed by the legendary Bengali-Indian director Satyajit Ray. The sitar for that theme was played by Pandit Ravi Shankar Ji.
i think this movie has made me cry more than any movie with these reactions
Mirzapur! Where the actor became big. About time you try a indian tv show
12th Fail won Best Picture and Best Actor at many Indian awards and it was also shortlisted for Best Picture at the Oscars. Had the FFI sent this as an official entry, it would have definitely bagged an Oscar nomination for International Feature. India’s loss
You guys should watch Maharaja, one of the best movies of 2024
21:56 the couple sit behind the shradha is real life Manoj & Shraddha...
If you want to watch a marathi movie, I'd recommend "Katyar Kaljat Ghusli". Cause both of you really seem to value and enjoy the songs and music in a movie and the movie I suggested would blow your minds
You should also watch Dear Zindagi. Alia Bhatt is lead in the movie and the movie is about mental health and therapy.
Never had financial issues, but i can still relate to how serious exams were, remember marking my own paper after every practice test ❤😭
Every student is tested the hardest and incredibly stressed at this age, thats why dating is frowned upon at this time. I had to give up my smartphone and social media for those few year was my day for most days
YOU GUYS SHOULD TOTALLY WATCH SAIRAT NEXT IF HAVEN'T ALREADY. It is a very acclaimed movie here in India and is very musically rich too; Ajay-Atul are the music composers.I am sure you both will love it, in the plot aspect as well as the music & sound. Also it is a good starting point to get into Marathi movies (Western India). PLEASE DO IT
PS: love watching you guys,you do always make my day when you post these reactions
Vikrant just announced his retirement by the way. I really hope this is not it! If yes then it'd be the biggest blow to the film industry in recent years after SSR. Please come back, Vikrant!
You guys should watch Tum Bin (Priyanshu has aged so of course you didnt recognise him here) next. I'd love to watch it again with you both ❤❤❤
Next watch "omkara " movie please
