12th Fail box office day 3: Despite India vs England WC match, Vikrant Massey starrer witnesses 24% growth

Vikrant Massey starrer 12th Fail, which released last Friday, has turned out to be a sleeper hit at the box office. After gaining momentum in its evening and night shows on its opening day, the Vidhu Vinod Chopra directorial witnessed solid growth on Saturday at the ticket windows. While it was expected that the film would be affected by the India vs England WC match on Sunday, it grossed an impressive Rs 3.10 crore net, showcasing a remarkable 24% growth in earnings across all circuits. It has raked in a total of Rs 6.7 crore net in its first weekend.

Despite clashing with Kangana Ranaut’s Tejas and Nimrat Kaur’s Sajini Shinde Ka Viral Video, 12th Fail has turned out to be the first choice for the cinegoers. However, it would be crucial for the film to hold well on the weekdays. In an exclusive interview with Firstpost , Vikrant Massey shared his experience of working with Vidhu Vinod Chopra and said, “He can be a tough task-master but that X factor comes out of whether you have the ability to take it otherwise you can crumble. People say he’s a tough taskmaster because he’s someone who won’t compromise. He’s a very honest man and honest to the point where he can make you feel uncomfortable with his honesty.”
