I went in not knowing what to expect and came out moved. Tanvi The Great is soft and powerful at the same time. Shubhangi is a real find-there's something very genuine about her screen presence. The film handles complex emotions with such simplicity. Anupam Kher's direction lets everything unfold gently. It's not possible this just about autism, it's about being human. The music and visuals add to the emotion. Anupam Kher has directed something truly meaningful here. I'm really glad I watched this. This is what real cinema looks like. A very touching and thoughtful film. I loved every bit of it.
"TANVI - THE GREAT" is one of the most touching and uplifting films I've seen in years. Anupam Kher's direction is brilliant, and debut actress Shubhangi is simply magical-she carries the film effortlessly. The movie beautifully portrays the journey of parenting an autistic child, showing that such children are not less, but extraordinarily gifted. It moved me deeply and brought back many personal emotions.
More than just a film on autism, it's about a daughter's love for her soldier father, the power of dreams, gratitude, and the strength of a single mother. It's a story of acceptance, resilience, and pure love.

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.

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.
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.
