Actress Deepika Padukone has re-shared Alia Bhatt’s Instagram review of Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s 12th Fail, gushing over the Vikram Massey and Medha Shankr-starrer that went on to become a sleeper hit since its release in October 2023.

“+1 I couldn’t agree more! Congratulations to the entire cast and crew! @vidhuvinodchoprafilms, @vikrantmassey, @medhashankr,” Deepika wrote alongside Alia’s review on her Instagram story on Tuesday..

In her review, Alia had described 12th Fail as one of the most beautiful films that she has seen in a while. “With such fabulous performances.. Just too too too beautiful,” the Heart of Stone actress wrote alongside a poster of the film.

Heaping praise on Vikrant, Medha and Vidhu, Alia added, “@vikrantmassey you were so so spectacular I am in awe! @medhashankr heart and soul of Manoj's journey.. so special and fresh and all things heartwarming! @anantvjoshi outstanding! And lastly Vidhu Vinod Chopra sir - this film really hits the spot.”

“So moving. So inspiring. So complete! I am FULL of love after watching this film! To the entire cast and crew! Take a bow,” the 30-year-old actress concluded her note.

Recently, Kangana Ranaut, who had flayed Vikrant in 2021 over the latter’s comment under actress Yami Gautam’s wedding pictures with Aditya Dhar on Instagram, also heaped praise on Vikrant Massey for his “beyond amazing” acting in the film.

12th Fail, chronicling the life of IPS officer Manoj Kumar Sharma who overcame poverty and cracked UPSC, was released in theatres on October 27 last year. After its OTT release on December 29, the film acquired the topmost position on IMDb’s list of highest-rated Indian movies of all time, surpassing even Hollywood hits such as Oppenheimer and Barbie.

12th Fail is currently streaming on Disney+ Hotstar.
