Tanvi The Great First Reviews: Anupam Kher’s ‘unusual’ movie leaves worldwide filmmakers emotional at 2025 Cannes-OxBig News Network

The first assessment of Tanvi The Great is by South African director Oliver Schmitz, who had 4 movies on the 2025 Cannes Film Festival. In the video shared by Anupam Kher on social media, Oliver states, “I’m a director, I’ve had 4 movies in the festival in selection and this premiere is one of the most unusual and moving premieres I have attended in all this time. It’s a perspective, it’s new, and it’s fresh. It says so much about human nature and exclusion. I am deeply moved by the movie that I’ve seen tonight. Thank you.”

The subsequent assessment was shared by Armenian filmmaker Armen Greyg. He revealed, “Sir, I was watching your movie two days ago, it blow my mind. I come out from the movie, I was crying. You remember, I told you even in the theatre. I love Indian movies, I watch all your movies when I was a kid and today I’m standing in front of you and saying something about your movie, that’s beautiful.”

Talking about what’s particular about Anupam’s movie, Armen shared, “First of all, it’s a family movie, patriotism is there, the bonds, the grandfather. I had a grandfather and when I was watching you, I… that feeling come. How he raised me in Armenia. The actors, watching you in the movie as an actor. I mean it’s always like a piece of masterclass. I am saying now, all of them, everything. The girl, the girl is doing beautiful. For the first movie, you choose this girl and she did well and her performance, beautiful. So it’s a very deep, deep, deep, touching movie. You must go and watch this movie. Thank you, Mr Anupam Kher, for this beautiful movie.”

Many congratulations to Anupam, Shubhangi and the crew of Tanvi The Great. After a grand premiere at Cannes, the movie is now set to reach in theatres on July 18.
