Triumph of Ratings: ’12th Fail’ Emerges as Top Indian Film on IMDb, Outshining Oppenheimer and Barbie in the Global Film Scene of 2023

Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s latest cinematic endeavor, “12th Fail,” has not only managed to resonate with audiences but has now etched its name as the highest-rated Indian film on IMDb. The biographical drama, led by the talented Vikrant Massey, has claimed the coveted top spot on IMDb’s list of the top 250 Indian films, boasting an impressive rating of 9.2 out of ten.

In this esteemed ranking, “12th Fail” surpasses other cinematic gems, securing a position ahead of timeless classics such as the 1993 animated masterpiece “Ramayana: The Legend of Prince Rama,” Mani Ratnam’s iconic “Nayakan,” Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s beloved “Gol Maal,” and R Madhavan’s directorial debut, “Rocketry: The Nambi Effect.”

What’s truly noteworthy is that, with its stellar rating of 9.2, “12th Fail” stands tall even when compared to some of the biggest Hollywood blockbusters of 2023. It outshines titles like “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” (rated 8.6), Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” (8.4), “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” (7.9), Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” (7.8), “John Wick: Chapter 4” (7.7), and Gret Gerwig’s “Barbie” (6.9) featuring Margot Robbie in the lead role.
