12th Fail reviews

Film trade analyst Sumit Kadel had called 12th Fail the “most heartwarming and inspirational film of 2023." He said it was a masterclass from Vidhu Vinod Chopra and also praised Vikrant Massey for his diction of a local Chambal boy, which he said was pitch-perfect. Filmmaker Ashutosh Gowariker called the film “brilliant and said the film was inspired by millions and will surely inspire millions.”

Vidhu Vinod Chopra told PTI in an interview that ever since he decided to make 12th Fail, he was sure about casting "real people". He said, "I didn't want filmy heroes pretending to be these people. Most of the cast are new actors, first time actors or not very famous. But they are real people. I rehearsed with them for one year."
