6/10
Failed Attempt

The movie has a nice message but the script does not dive deep. It is trying to give a great message but failing mostly at every point. The script is just widespreads covering all it can. The first half feels very wide and not a single aspect is focused. It confuses the viewer on what to focus on. But in the next half, we discover what the director was trying by saying all that stuff.

The movie is not focused on one point. The title is very misleading. By title, it feels it is a story of a guy in 12th. But the first half was totally about his parents. The main character barely appeared on the screen. And the second half is about the main character but not about his 12th, it is about his engineering. The better title could have been 'Expected Dream' or something. But showing direct 12th in the title is totally not justice to the story. Direction feels very week. When needed, closeups are avoided for some reason. The character is in blocked space in some scenes for some reason. And many times camera work didn't stand with the story.

But the set is very beautiful. It feels like a real house. All the frames were wonderfully designed. But the story is shallow so quite disappointing.
