As “Tanvi The Great” completed a year in Hindi cinema, Anupam Kher, the filmmaker and actor, looked back on the film’s journey. He expressed that the film’s true success was not in the awards it garnered globally but in the profound influence it had on families and their perception of autism. Anupam marked the occasion on Instagram, emphasizing the film’s impact on viewers.
Reflecting on the past year, Anupam highlighted the film’s recognition at various award ceremonies and film festivals. He mentioned accolades such as being selected for the Indian Panorama at IFFI, winning the FIPRESCI Award for Best Feature Film, and receiving honors like Best Screenplay at the International Film Festival of Australia. Additionally, the lead actress, Shubhangi, was lauded with awards for Best Actress and Best Debut Actress, making the journey even more memorable.
While the film received acclaim and accolades, Anupam Kher believed that its greatest achievement was the multitude of messages it inspired from parents, teachers, and youth. He shared that many expressed a newfound perspective on autism, stopped concealing their children, and gained a deeper understanding of their child through the film. Anupam considered these messages as the most significant honor for the movie.
