Celebs praising 12th Fail
Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s film 12th Fail is based on IPS officer Manoj Kumar Sharma’s life, with Vikrant Massey playing the lead role. The film, which premiered on OTT recently after being released in theatres in October 2023, has been praised by celebrities such as Kangana Ranaut, Katrina Kaif, Rohit Shetty, and several others.
“I think this year (2023) is probably one of the best years for me to give this example where we’ve of course seen high octane action commercial blockbusters and we’ve seen a small, intimate film,12th Fail, do so well. I think that’s all the example we need. If a film has an interesting story, it will find its audience,” Katrina had said in a recent interview with Film Companion.
Sharing a poster of 12th Fail, Kangana wrote on Instagram Stories earlier in January, “What a terrific film. Coming from Hindi medium myself belonging to a rural village and being a general caste student for entry tests without reservations in my school years, I was weeping throughout the film, ufff never cried so much in a flight, my co-passengers were stealing concerned glances at me, I am embarrassed.”
