Vikrant Massey’s performance in Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s ’12th Fail’ has garnered widespread acclaim, with filmmaker Guneet Monga Kapoor being the latest to shower praise on the film. In a heartfelt post, she shared her emotional reaction to the movie, revealing that it brought her to tears.

Tweeting alongside the film’s poster, Monga expressed her deep admiration for Massey’s work and extended congratulations to the entire team. She also sent her best wishes to the real-life inspirations behind the characters, Manoj and Shraddha.

“Sitting at the Lucknow airport Starbucks and CRYING my eyes out

watching #12thFail. What an incredible film! I swear, if I had seen this 15 – 20 years ago, I might have aspired to become an IAS/IPS officer! Congratulations to VVC Sir & the entire team, and salute to the real & reel Manoj & Shraddha,” Monga wrote.

Despite missing the chance to see the film in theaters, Monga expressed gratitude for experiencing its magic on the streaming platform.

’12th Fail,’ directed by Vidhu Vinod Chopra, offers a poignant glimpse into the struggles of UPSC aspirants, drawing inspiration from the remarkable journey of Manoj Kumar Sharma, who overcame numerous challenges to achieve the rank of an IPS officer. Massey brilliantly portrays Sharma’s character, with Medha Shankr depicting his on-screen wife, Shraddha Joshi.
