Zero Se Restart Review

Zero Se Restart offers an inside look at the making of 12th Fail, directed by Vidhu Vinod Chopra. The 80-minute documentary, co-directed by Jaskunwar Singh Kohli, highlights the struggles and triumphs of bringing the film to life. From casting challenges to the fascinating filmmaking process, the documentary is full of behind-the-scenes anecdotes and technical insights. Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s personal, self-recorded videos, where he shares candid moments with his family and crew, add a personal touch to the narrative.

However, despite its charm, the documentary often feels more suited for a YouTube video or Netflix special than a theatrical release. While Zero Se Restart delves into the creative process, including interesting tidbits about the film’s development, it falls short of deeply analyzing the emotional climax of 12th Fail, a moment that could have deserved more exploration.

While the documentary offers a unique glimpse into filmmaking, its box-office potential remains uncertain, especially with the ongoing success of Pushpa 2 dominating the screens. Zero Se Restart will likely appeal more to die-hard fans of 12th Fail and those interested in the filmmaking process than mainstream audiences.

Final Verdict: Zero Se Restart is an endearing and insightful documentary, but it may have been better suited for streaming platforms, where it could have reached a wider audience.
