After winning hearts at film festivals and completing its run in theatres, Anupam Kher’s latest directorial venture, Tanvi The Great, has been widely discussed for its heartfelt storytelling and performances. The film tells the story of Tanvi Raina, a young woman on the autism spectrum, whose journey to honour her late father’s dream has struck a chord with audiences both in India and abroad. Critics have praised the film for its sensitive portrayal of neurodivergent experiences and for highlighting determination, courage, and resilience.
Now, the makers have confirmed that the film will make its OTT debut on Amazon Prime Video on March 3, 2026, bringing the story of Tanvi to a wider audience at home. Anupam Kher, who co-wrote and directed the film, described it as an undertaking “made with belief,” emphasizing bravery, kindness, and the idea that being unique does not mean being less. He added that the film now “belongs to the audience” after months of festival screenings and theatrical runs, encouraging families to watch the story together.
Supporting the central cast are veterans and well-known actors such as Boman Irani, Arvind Swami, Iain Glen, and Jackie Shroff, each adding depth to Tanvi’s journey. The cinematography by Keiko Nakahara captures the stunning landscapes of Ladakh and Uttarakhand, while Oscar-winning composer M.M. Keeravani provides the musical score, enhancing the emotional resonance of the story.
