Tanvi the Great

An inspiring must-watch for families, educators, and especially children. Tanvi's vision is truly great.

The way the film handles autism is both respectful and empowering. It encourages acceptance and opens up meaningful conversations among kids and adults. For children on the spectrum-and those who love and support them- Tanvi the great is a source of inspiration, comfort, and courage.

With a brilliant mix of heart, message, and cinematic artistry, this film isn't just entertaining-it's important. It leaves you with a warm heart, teary eyes, and a renewed belief in the power of kindness, inclusion, and storytelling.

Tanvi The Great is what cinema should be: honest, healing, and heartfelt. The film treats autism not as a "condition" but as a perspective, and that's rare. This movie feels like a lived moment more than a scripted story. There's no grand spectacle, just quiet, soft-spoken truth. Shubhangi is a revelation in her debut. The supporting cast is absolutely impressive are of the bigest director nice and good accting this movie and impactful. MM Keeravani's music, as expected, hits all the right notes. Anupam Kher brings tenderness to every frame as a director. This movie made me cry, in the best way.

While staying with her estranged, retired Colonel grandfather, a woman with autism discovers her late military father's dream to be stationed at a particular base. To accomplish this, Tanvi decides to join the army, despite what some, including her grandfather, think is impossible.

This is a heartfelt movie loaded with emotion and inclusion. The story is one of overcoming adversity and achieving your goals, a classic underdog tale, as well as exploring the generational differences in parenting and understanding children's needs. The movie has drama, emotions, action, suspense, twists, and surprises. Unfortunately, the poorly timed song and dance sequences detract from the narrative flow and do not align with the autism storyline. The two-hour and thirty-minute runtime could have been significantly shortened by removing the song and dance sequences and unnecessary filler, and allowing the story to shine. Despite that, this is a beautiful film that gives a community a chance to shine and shows that being different does not make someone less. Stream it when available.

"There is so much that able-bodied people could learn from the wisdom that often comes with disability. But space needs to be made. Hands need to reach out. People need to be lifted up." "My joy is my freedom - it allows me to live my life as I see fit. I won't leave this earth without the world knowing that I chose to live a life that made me happy, made me think, made me whole."

• Quotes from the book I read recently - Disability Visibility by Alice Wong

Watched this film in a theater. A heartfelt film that tells the story of Tanvi Raina, a 21-year-old autistic girl who aspires to join the Indian Army to fulfill her late father's dream of saluting the Indian flag at Siachen.

The narrative sheds light on the challenges faced by autistic individuals in a way that's both authentic and relatable. Shubhangi Dutt's performance as Tanvi is great - she brings a depth and nuance to the character that's both captivating and heartbreaking.

The emotional moments in the film are raw and impactful. However, there were times when the melodrama felt overwhelming and the CGI usage in the cinematography was subpar. The pacing issues in the second half also made the film feel a bit dragged out.

What really puzzles me, though was the reason given for Tanvi's mom leaving her with a barely known grandfather. It felt like a forced plot device! The acting, above average - esp Shubhangi Dutt shines. It does feel like though that the supporting cast are working with limited material.

Despite few flaws Tanvi The Great is a film is worth watching. The concept is admirable. The perseverance, self-determination and following one's dreams are inspiring and uplifting. Tanvi's story is a powerful reminder that with hard work and dedication one can overcome even the toughest challenges. It is definitely worth a watch.

Autism remains widely misunderstood in our society, and while a handful of films have attempted to portray it, none have utilized this medium to illuminate it with such nuance and authenticity. Iain Glen and Vidya's tenuous interactions capture the challenges while emphasizing that an autistic child is "different but no less!" In fact, such a child possesses remarkable focus and intensity-standing in stark contrast to Mukund's character!

I was profoundly moved by 'Tanvi The Great,' a film that resonated with me on countless levels.

The thread of underlying irony and subtle humor beautifully elevates the poignancy, particularly when Mukund reveals his life's ambition and the 'great' influencer path he's chosen to achieve notoriety and fame-a modern affliction that has engulfed our world.

Dadu's (Colonel Raina) internal struggles and eventual transformation through Tanvi offer perhaps the most endearing portrayal of a retired army officer battling deeply ingrained mindsets. The story truly soars when Tanvi stumbles upon her life's purpose and pursues it with beguiling, single-minded determination. The newcomer's performance as Tanvi is nothing short of brilliant-fresh, spontaneous, and utterly convincing. Raza provides a joyous, uplifting element within the serious narrative-a character who instantly wins hearts.

Each character holds their ground with remarkable precision. Jaggu Dada emerges as tough yet sensitive, serving as an exceptional sounding board for Dadu-and looks truly impressive in uniform! I don't recall seeing him as an army officer before, but it works magnificently. The casting deserves special mention-Shrini stands out, as do other surprise elements seamlessly woven into the screenplay.

What strikes me most is how every character feels fully realized and distinctly etched-the hallmark of masterful filmmaking.

Direction by Anupam Kher is well orchestrated. To address so many profound issues while weaving them together so artfully into one cohesive, compelling narrative is extraordinary and deserves the highest praise!

As an equal rights activist and a daughter with senior parents, this film touched me deeply and personally. I sincerely hope it reaches every corner of the world-it's a story that deserves to be seen by all.
