    Excellent story

    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.

    A Beautiful, Uplifting Journey for All Ages.

    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.

    Beautiful and emotional, except for song placement

    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.

    Empathy without begging for it!

    Tanvi the Great is a heartfelt and sincere attempt at telling a story rooted in resilience, identity, and the quiet strength of childhood innocence. What stands out most is how genuinely the film feels made with love - not in a showy, performative way, but in how it prioritizes emotion and purpose over polish.

    The story itself feels fresh in its tone and intent. While the core arc may tread familiar ground, the presentation and the earnestness of its world make it feel unique. The emotional weight is mostly carried by Shubhangi Dutt, who plays Tanvi with a quiet brilliance - never begging for sympathy, but instead making the audience connect to her spirit and journey in an honest, unforced way. She is the heart of the film, and everything that works about it flows through her.

    The supporting cast, particularly Jackie Shroff and Boman Irani, elevate their roles with sensitivity and presence, while veterans like Anupam Kher and Pallavi Joshi provide warmth, though their scenes sometimes feel lost in a screenplay that rushes from beat to beat. The film falters in its editing - transitions between scenes often feel abrupt, and the moments without Tanvi don't always land with the same emotional resonance.

    But the soul of Tanvi the Great lies in its music. The songs are exquisitely composed, beautifully integrated, and carry the emotional arcs better than some of the dialogue itself. The theatricality and musical elements don't distract - they amplify. In fact, the soundtrack may be one of the strongest of the year.

    Visually, the film is tidy and deliberate. The framing is neat, and while not overtly stylized, the cinematography serves the story well without trying to overpower it. Direction-wise, it feels like a film made with personal stakes, and that intimacy does come through.

    Despite knowing how the story would unfold, the film managed to keep the emotional engagement intact till the very end. It may not be a perfect movie - with pacing and screenplay hiccups that hold it back - but it is undeniably moving and honest.

    Sum up - Recommended for those who enjoy emotion-driven storytelling, powerful music, and character-led narratives.

    Sheds light on Autism in a warm way.

    The story is about a girl who is autistic and is born in the family with people in defense background. Her father is no more and she further sets for what her father aimed.

    One of my closed ones is autistic. When I saw this movie I prayed to God his life should somewhere conclude like this girls. The movie made me feel that taking care of such person might not be that difficult. Yes I thought at a point is this movie misleading, but then the subject might not be aligning with everyone else. What I am trying to say is what if all of them are unique in their diagnosis.

    The movie is warm and full of caring values. The girl sets out for a dream to get selected into army for what his father aimed. The problem is Indian Army doesn't accept Autistic people. The thing is she doesn't end in despair. For what happens would be a spoiler if I go any further.

    Acting is good from entire cast. Presentation is nice. Music is average that goes well with the movie.

    Final Verdict: Do watch it with your family, you won't be disappointed.
