    "TANVI - THE GREAT" is one of the most touching and uplifting films I've seen in years.

    "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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    This are really excited about this movie really greatest Hits

    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.
