Reacting to 12th Fail's roaring success, Medha, while speaking to DNA in an interview, said, "Initially, It took me some time for it to sink in. We were so busy with the back-to-back promotions, that we barely had time to breathe, but when it was released, it was at the Mumbai screening that it started to sink in. Before that, it was so hectic that nothing was understandable. Our focus was on the promotions but some moments made us realize that the kind of reception the movie is getting is absolutely incredible."
