The Indian Express gave 2.5 stars out of 5 and said that "It’s the kind of film that leaves you conflicted. You can be gobsmacked at the enormity of Tanvi’s achievements. And yet you end up rooting for her and those like her: if she can do it, maybe someone else can too." Anurag Singh Bohra of
India Today rated 2/5 stars and said that "Despite its ambitious emotional arc, the Anupam Kher-directorial drifts from its promising premise. Stories based on sensitive subjects demand care, authenticity, and restraint. This film, sadly, delivers none of these."

The Hollywood Reporter India commented that "Tanvi the Great somehow reduces its central theme — a hero and her ‘superpower’ — to a secondary theme in its own film. Within an hour, Tanvi becomes a medium for a misplaced tribute to the Indian Army. The protagonist is patriotism. At one point, the tri-colour is superimposed on her singing face at an army ball; at another, she interrupts a memorial day speech to ask what bravery is so that the answer can be “anyone who wears a uniform”. The love for one’s country is presented as the cure for everything."{{cite news |first=Rahul|last=Desai|title='Tanvi the Great' Movie Review: Anupam Kher's Not-So-Great Story About Autism and Patriotism Rachit Gupta of
