Veteran actor-director Anupam Kher returned to the director’s chair with ‘Tanvi The Great’, a poignant drama about a young woman with autism striving to join the army. Despite critical acclaim abroad and festival success, the film saw a modest ₹40 lakh opening day in India, with around 14% occupancy in Hindi-speaking regions. Trade analysts attribute this slow start to limited commercial appeal, strong competition from releases like ‘Saiyaara’, and its sensitive genre. Still, early reviews praise its heartfelt performances, powerful message, and hope for word-of-mouth growth across the weekend.
