Attended the premiere of Tanvi the Great, in London this evening. My heartfelt congratulations to the director of the film, legendary actor, Anupam Kher for presenting a compelling & thoroughly enjoyable film.

It is a movie about goodness & innocence which, as its director Anupam Kher aptly put it, “we seem to have lost.” It is this lost innocence which Tanvi, the protagonist, brilliantly essayed by Shubhangi Dutt symbolises & strives to regain in this pathbreaking movie. Mentored by the iconic actor & director, Anupam Kher, Dutt also portrays Tanvi as a strong character of immense strength & resilience.

The movie is based, as Kher points out, on a slice of his life—Tanvi, his autistic niece, who was abandoned by her father because of her condition. Tanvi the Great has a complex, layered narrative bringing out some of the remarkable, out-of-the ordinary qualities of Tanvi, who on the surface, appears ordinary.

Anupam Kher drawing on a deeply personal experience, inspired by his niece shows his profound touch of authenticity. Shubhangi Dutt’s portrayal of Tanvi, a character which defies stereotypes, focuses on the joy & spontaneity of living in the moment.

The film has powerful entertaining & musical elements. Another powerful feeling the movie evokes in the viewer is the sense of patriotism and nationalistic fervour.

The vibrant musical brilliance of “Tanvi the Great” is crafted to enthrall audiences globally.

Tanvi the Great, which was screened at Cannes is a moving cinematic message to audiences to embrace goodness & compassion.
