Rising actor Shubhangi Dutt is currently the focus of critical praise for her compelling performance in the film Tanvi The Great, which was recently screened at the prestigious Jagran Film Festival (JFF). Attending the event alongside filmmaker and co-star Anupam Kher, Dutt’s sensitive portrayal in the film was met with an emotional and overwhelmingly positive response from the audience, particularly a special group of specially-abled children.

An Emotional Resonance at the Jagran Film Festival

The JFF screening of Tanvi The Great deeply resonated with attendees, who lauded its heartfelt narrative and Shubhangi’s powerful acting. The film, directed by Anupam Kher and produced by Anupam Kher Studio in association with NFDC, is quickly gaining traction on the festival circuit for its sincere and moving subject matter.

Following the screening, Shubhangi was inevitably asked about a comparison that has been frequently drawn by observers: the similarity between her role and Priyanka Chopra Jonas’s widely celebrated performance in the 2012 film Barfi!

The Graceful Response to a High Compliment

Responding to the comparison, Shubhangi Dutt handled the high praise with remarkable humility and genuine admiration. She expressed her immense respect for the global superstar, stating, “Being compared to Priyanka Chopra is a great thing. I think she is representing all of us globally, and I really look up to her because I think she has it all.”

Her words were full of warmth and gratitude, highlighting Priyanka Chopra Jonas’s undeniable impact on the industry. “Every time she appears on the screen, be it cinema, TV, or phone, all I think of is wow, because she is so phenomenal. And someone to compare me with her, it’s very humbling, and I am just filled with gratitude. It’s amazing.” This response not only showcased her admiration for a senior colleague but also underscored her own grounded and appreciative approach to her burgeoning career.

The Heart of Tanvi The Great

In the film, Shubhangi portrays Tanvi Raina, a 21-year-old woman navigating life on the autism spectrum. She lives with her mother, Vidya, and her supportive grandfather, Colonel Pratap Raina. The core emotional drive of the story centers on Tanvi’s cherished dream: inspired by her late father, Captain Samar Raina, she is determined to join the Indian Army and salute the flag at Siachen—a dream her father never got to fulfill.

The film traces Tanvi's journey of resilience, determination, and profound emotional strength. Critics have already begun marking Shubhangi’s performance as one of the most honest and heartfelt portrayals of the year. The success of the JFF screening served to underscore the film’s emotional depth and firmly introduced audiences to a brilliant new talent in Shubhangi Dutt, an actor who is clearly poised to carve out her own distinct and meaningful legacy in Indian cinema.
