While Shah Rukh's win for Jawan was historic—his first-ever National Award in a 30-year career—it was Massey's name that stirred won for 12th Fail Vidhu Vinod Chopra 's quietly powerful biographical drama about IPS officer Manoj Kumar Sharma 's real-life journey from failure to fulfilment. The performance had already earned him the Filmfare Critics Award for Best Actor earlier this year. But the National Award cements Vikrant Massey's place in the big league—and makes his win all the more meaningful because, like his character, he too defied the 12th Fail, Massey embodies Manoj Kumar Sharma, a Chambal native who once failed his 12th exams and dreamed of becoming a peon. After witnessing a courageous police officer break a cheating racket, Manoj finds a role model and dares to dream bigger—to wear the same uniform.

The role of Manoj Kumar Sharma, however, seems to have unlocked a new dimension of his craft.12th Fail, based on Anurag Pathak's 2019 non-fiction book, was directed, written and produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra. The film resonated widely with students, civil service aspirants and every Indian who's ever failed and tried again. Its realistic depiction of systemic challenges and personal perseverance gave it both relevance and emotional the months following 12th Fail, Massey experimented with darker roles—a crime reporter in Blackout, a psychopath in Sector 36, and a photojournalist in The Sabarmati Report. Reviews were mixed, but his commitment to character remained consistent. His latest release, Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan, saw him as a visually impaired musician, again testing the boundaries of his December 2024, he announced a brief career break to focus on his family. But 2025 started with new releases and now, a National Award—a poetic full circle for an actor who has never chased stardom, only sincerity.
