Anupam Kher’s directorial “Tanvi: The Great” got good reviews for its performances and nuanced story-telling, even though it didn't make any waves at the box-office, it stayed steady. Now the film has completed 25 weeks in theatres, and the actor-filmmaker has decided to host an event to celebrate this occasion.
He told Variety India, “In my early years in movies in the 80s, 90s and early 2000s, there were a few celebrations every film personality looked forward to. One of the most special among them was the ‘Silver Jubilee’ or 100 days celebration of a film. Those occasions were about gratitude, togetherness and celebrating cinema as a family.”
