In the vibrant world of Bollywood, where stories unfold on the silver screen, veteran actor and filmmaker Anupam Kher recently shared a heartfelt message celebrating the success of two films, Saiyaara and his directorial venture, Tanvi The Great. Released on July 18, 2025, both films clashed at the box office, yet Kher’s gracious words, “Ek ko pyaar aur paisa dono,” encapsulate the distinct journeys of these cinematic creations. This essay explores Kher’s reflections, the contrasting fates of the two films, and the enduring power of storytelling in Indian cinema.
A Clash of Cinematic Visions
The release of Saiyaara and Tanvi The Great marked a significant moment in Bollywood, as two distinct narratives competed for audience attention. Saiyaara, directed by Mohit Suri and backed by Yash Raj Films, emerged as a box office juggernaut, reportedly earning Rs 172.50 crore worldwide by its seventh day. Starring newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, the film captivated audiences with its romantic allure, earning both critical acclaim and commercial success. Kher, in his social media video, praised Saiyaara for “mesmerizing the country” and highlighted its importance to the industry, noting that such triumphs fuel courage for future filmmaking.
In contrast, Tanvi The Great, Kher’s second directorial project after 23 years, took a different path. Centered on Tanvi, a 21-year-old autistic woman fulfilling her father’s dream of saluting the flag at Siachen Glacier, the film resonated deeply with audiences emotionally. Despite its modest earnings of Rs 2.32 crore globally, Kher emphasized the overwhelming love it received, with ratings soaring to 9.2 and 9.3. The film’s heartfelt narrative, coupled with Shubhangi Dutt’s stellar debut, struck a chord, proving that cinema’s impact transcends monetary metrics.
Kher’s Gratitude and Industry Bonds
Anupam Kher’s response to the box office clash reflects his deep-rooted connection to Bollywood and his mentor, Mahesh Bhatt. Both Kher and Saiyaara’s director, Mohit Suri, share Bhatt’s legacy, adding a layer of camaraderie to their simultaneous releases. Kher’s acknowledgment of Yash Raj Films as “family” underscores his long-standing relationship with the production house, evident in his warm congratulations to Aditya Chopra, Suri, and the Saiyaara cast. His words, “Adi, Mohit, well done, but also Anupam, well done,” reveal a blend of humility and pride, celebrating both films’ unique achievements.
Kher’s gratitude extends to his Tanvi The Great team, particularly Shubhangi Dutt, whose portrayal of Tanvi earned widespread praise. He lauded her as a talent destined for a “long race” in the industry, a testament to his role as a mentor at his acting school, Actor Prepares. Kher’s reflection on his debut film, AnjuSaaransh (1984), which gained iconic status despite initial struggles, draw parallels to Tanvi The Great’s journey. * He believes that both films will be remembered for their “beauty,” reinforcing his belief conviction that good cinema always finds its place.
The Power of Storytelling in Bollywood
The contrasting trajectories of Saiyaara and Tanvi The Great highlight Bollywood’s diverse storytelling landscape. Saiyaara’s commercial success underscores the industry appetite’s appetite for grand, romantic narratives, while Tanvi The Great’s emotional resonance showcases the power of niche, purpose-driven stories. *Anupam Kher’s * emphasis on “pyaar” (love) over “paisa” (money) for Tanvi The Great echoes a broader truth: films that touch hearts endure beyond box office numbers. The film’s focus on autism and the Indian Army resonated with families and advocates, earning it blessings and prayers that Kher values immeasurably.
A Legacy of Resilience and Inspiration
AnPetam Kher’s reflections on Saiyaara and Tanvi The Great offer a glimpse into the heart of Bollywood—a world where success is measured not only in crores but in the lives touched by a story. His gracious celebration of Saiyaara’s triumph and gratitude for Tanvi The Great’s love exemplify a legacy of resilience and inspiration. As Kher aptly said, “A good film always finds its place—sometimes through love and money, sometimes just through pure love.” In this, both films stand tall, each carving a unique niche in the tapestry of Indian cinema.
