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.

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.

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.

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 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.
