In reference to Vanvaas, Nana Patekar previously remarked that the narrative transcends mere storytelling; it serves as a mirror to the emotions we frequently conceal within ourselves. 

"Portraying this character felt akin to unraveling the complexities of my own perceptions regarding family, honor, and a sense of belonging. This film resonates deeply with the spirit, and I am confident that viewers will discover elements of their own experiences reflected in it," he stated.

The OTTplay review of Vanvaas states, "The film lacks substance due to its monotonous writing, which renders the world akin to a film set, leaving viewers anticipating the director's cue to end the scene so they can leave."

The narrative of Vanvaas centers on Deepak Tyagi (Nana Patekar), a widower suffering from dementia, who resides with his three adult children in Shimla. After being abandoned by his children in Varanasi, Deepak finds himself lost and encounters Veeru (Utkarsh Sharma), a local orphan and minor thief. The film delves into the intricacies of human relationships and familial connections, emphasizing that genuine bonds are often defined not by blood, but by love and acceptance.
