Sheds light on Autism in a warm way.

The story is about a girl who is autistic and is born in the family with people in defense background. Her father is no more and she further sets for what her father aimed.One of my closed ones is autistic. When I saw this movie I prayed to God his life should somewhere conclude like this girls. The movie made me feel that taking care of such person might not be that difficult. Yes I thought at a point is this movie misleading, but then the subject might not be aligning with everyone else. What I am trying to say is what if all of them are unique in their diagnosis.The movie is warm and full of caring values. The girl sets out for a dream to get selected into army for what his father aimed. The problem is Indian Army doesn't accept Autistic people. The thing is she doesn't end in despair. For what happens would be a spoiler if I go any further.Acting is good from entire cast. Presentation is nice. Music is average that goes well with the movie.Final Verdict: Do watch it with your family, you won't be disappointed.

The Path Climbed, The Heights Achieved. A great inspiring movie inspite of few flaws

"There is so much that able-bodied people could learn from the wisdom that often comes with disability. But space needs to be made. Hands need to reach out. People need to be lifted up." "My joy is my freedom - it allows me to live my life as I see fit. I won't leave this earth without the world knowing that I chose to live a life that made me happy, made me think, made me whole." Quotes from the book I read recently - Disability Visibility by Alice WongWatched this film in a theater. A heartfelt film that tells the story of Tanvi Raina, a 21-year-old autistic girl who aspires to join the Indian Army to fulfill her late father's dream of saluting the Indian flag at Siachen.The narrative sheds light on the challenges faced by autistic individuals in a way that's both authentic and relatable. Shubhangi Dutt's performance as Tanvi is great - she brings a depth and nuance to the character that's both captivating and heartbreaking.The emotional moments in the film are raw and impactful. However, there were times when the melodrama felt overwhelming and the CGI usage in the cinematography was subpar. The pacing issues in the second half also made the film feel a bit dragged out.What really puzzles me, though was the reason given for Tanvi's mom leaving her with a barely known grandfather. It felt like a forced plot device! The acting, above average - esp Shubhangi Dutt shines. It does feel like though that the supporting cast are working with limited material.Despite few flaws Tanvi The Great is a film is worth watching. The concept is admirable. The perseverance, self-determination and following one's dreams are inspiring and uplifting. Tanvi's story is a powerful reminder that with hard work and dedication one can overcome even the toughest challenges. It is definitely worth a watch.
