'Most Delusional Dialogue Ever': This Line From Vikrant Massey's 12th Fail Stirs Online Debate

"IAS banna badi baat nahi hai, badi baat yeh hai ki jis kursi par aap bethenge naa, usse aapki izzat na ho, balki aap se us kursi ki izzat ho.¡±

Vikrant Massey-starrer 12th Fail has completely floored everyone. Even Kangana Ranaut who who had earlier called the actor a cockroach is now saying that he has all the potential to fill the void that Irrfan Khan's passing has left in the film industry.

The power-packed dialogues are one of the main reasons why people have emotionally connected with the film, which made the Queen actress also cry on a flight.

However, this one dialogue has kickstarted a debate online.

Twitter

While some people think this dialogue is a hard-hitting fact, some others say it's the worst and has no connection with reality.

The 12th Fail dialogue in question is - "If the citizens were educated, it could be a real problem for the leaders".

Twitter

'Education doesn't end bigotry'

An X user said, "I don't think makers understand the life of UPSC aspirants or how the whole system is and what is the interview process."

Twitter

Another one said that even educated people vote for criminals. "Looks like any run of the mill average milquetoast centrist dialogue that could be found in any 80s Bollywood movie. Overhyped film probably. Lot of educated masses vote for criminals." While another user added, "Not fully true. Even educated folks with fully functional brains (with Master's and PhDs) are brainwashed and caste/religion obsessed in this country so its very easy to sell hate & propaganda."

Twitter

"Wrong! Most educated people of the world have chosen fascists. You can check the history," said another X user. A person quoted his mother and said, "My mother has this go to quote, 'educated people are one of the dumbest and self-centred people on planet earth, they read few books and think the world belongs to them.'"

Twitter

Others said the dialogue refers to basic education

"I don¡¯t get the qrts being mad the man is obviously talking about basic education you don¡¯t have to refute every claim out there it doesn¡¯t make you sound smart," a user argued.

"The biggest takeaway from the film is what qualifies as 'education'. Education is not just about literacy or having a certificate. It means gaining the skill to acquire and assimilate information -- gain perspective. Sad that this imp point seems to be lost on most."

"Yes because educated people start reading about their corruptions," read a tweet.

good majority of students being absolutely clueless about political administration as a subject during their formative years which stays with stem students throughout their lives(tabhi toh iit waale jab bhi mu kholte hai rona ajata hai).Our education is not comprehensive and -

that is the point. You look stupid when u mindlessly keep yapping about how this dialogue makes no sense because u are a privileged idiot who doesn¡¯t realise the gravity and the audience this dialogue was intended for. EDUCATION is not just learning maths formulas and accounting!

For the unversed, Vidhu Vinod Chopra's 12th Fail is based on Anurag Pathak¡¯s namesake book and narrates the remarkable story of IPS officer Manoj Kumar Sharma.
