Alongside Tanvi The Great, films like Rishab Shetty’s Kantara: Chapter 1 and Hombale Films’ Mahavatar Narsimha are among the 201 films eligible for consideration at the 98th Academy Awards.
Although Homebound is India’s official entry this year, the makers of Kantara, Dashavatar, and Tanvi The Great have independently submitted their films for international recognition.
Earlier, Anupam Kher also celebrated the film’s 100-day theatrical run, describing Tanvi The Great as a heartfelt journey that has quietly resonated with audiences.
He said he’s proud the film’s emotional story has resonated with audiences, reflecting his lifelong belief in perseverance.
Tanvi The Great features a star-studded cast including Anupam Kher, Shubhangi Dutt, Arvind Swami, Iain Glen, Boman Irani, Jackie Shroff, Pallavi Joshi, and Karan Tacker. The film tells the story of Tanvi Raina, a 21-year-old woman on the autism spectrum, living with her mother Vidya and grandfather Colonel Pratap Raina.
Inspired by her late father, Captain Samar Raina, an Indian Army officer who dreamed of saluting the national flag at Siachen Glacier, Tanvi’s journey is one of courage, determination, and resilience.
The film is earning praise in India and internationally as it makes the Oscar shortlist and continues its successful theatrical run.
