In a podcast with Republic Media Network Editor-In-Chief Arnab Goswami, Kher talked about how selective negative reviews of Tanvi The Great are floating in the media, meant to impact the audience perception. "Critics who said that the movie did not make them emotional... 'Mai kya karoon agar aap ke aansoon sukh gaye hai to'. Those who have given a bad review, they are unhappy with themselves. There is a great pundit of our trade who said that he does not know how to cry in this film. So if their tears have dried and their heart has died, then how will they cry?" Kher asserted.

However, Tanvi The Great has mostly received positive reviews, with newcomer Shubhangi Dutt getting applause for playing an autistic girl convincingly. The movie follows the story of Tanvi Raina, a young woman with autism who dreams of joining the Indian Army. She lives with her mother, Vidya (played by Pallavi Joshi), and grandfather, Colonel Pratap Raina. Inspired by her late father Samar Raina's service in the army, she sets out to follow in his footsteps.

"And today, when I read a review where it says, Shubhangi as a newcomer has delivered a gem of a performance, it is the biggest happy moment for me and that's a fantastic feeling. When she is in the frame, it's like, it is her Saaransh," Kher declared proudly comparing the debutante's performance in Tanvi The Great with his award winning debut movie Saaransh. "And what can be a bigger satisfaction for a teacher than to give such a review to her student," he concluded.
