Anil Kapoor echoed similar sentiments, calling the film “powerful, heartfelt, and deeply inspiring.”
The buzz isn’t just in India. The film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year, where it received a standing ovation. Since then, ‘Tanvi The Great’ has travelled to global platforms like the New York Indian Film Festival and screenings in Houston and Austin. It even drew attention from Hollywood legend Robert De Niro, who attended the gala screening in New York.
In a recent interview, Kher spoke passionately about the film’s core message. He believes ‘Tanvi The Great’ taps into a deeply human emotion, the goodness that lives in all of us but often buries under daily pressures. “When people watch this film, those original emotions return,” he said.
