Just like Hrithik, several other actors also appreciated the fantastic movie that the director has made. Janhvi Kapoor took to her Instagram stories and posted a still from the film and wrote, ‘Blown away, a masterpiece for the ages’. During a chat with Film Companion, Katrina Kaif reflected on the success of 12th Fail and said, “I think this year is probably one of the best years for me to give this example where we’ve seen high-octane action commercial blockbusters and we’ve seen an intimate story 12th Fail do so well. I think that’s all the example we need.”
Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap said that it’s the best mainstream film he saw in 2023. Parts of his lengthy note appreciating the movie read, “Probably the best mainstream film I’ve seen in 2023 @vidhuvinodchoprafilms at the age of 71 has crafted a masterpiece out of a simple story of an adamant man wanting to be more than what life gives him. Kudos to the whole team who I don’t know and all the actors. Especially @vikrantmassey @medhashankr @anshumaan_pushkar @anantvjoshi and the cinematographer Ranga, the production designer and the music directors and writers. I have met Manoj and I’ve read the book but I never could have seen it how VVC saw it. It’s on HotStar and a must watch. I was unlucky to find time to see it in cinemas but saw it on my personal screen but do give this film a shot. Love you VVc for inspiring me. May you never really grow up and always be the troublesome brat that you are even at 71. Just big big hug and love to you. And I am ready to #restart.”
