Different, But No Less is a 2:33 English-language duet from Tanvi the Great (2025, Zee Music Company), sung by Shannon K and Dirty Grim, composed by M. M. Keeravani. The only English-language track on the album, its title is an explicit statement of the film's central argument: that Tanvi's autism makes her different but not lesser. Shannon K is an Indo-American singer known for English Bollywood-adjacent pop, and her collaboration with rapper Dirty Grim gives the track a contemporary edge.

Keeravani's composition for Different, But No Less adopts a pop-EDM framework unusual for the rest of the Tanvi the Great album — reflecting the contemporary international context in which conversations about neurodiversity and autism awareness are most prominent. The choice to deliver this message in English signals an intentional outreach to global and diaspora audiences for a topic that transcends linguistic boundaries.

The lyric of Different, But No Less works as a manifesto rather than a narrative song — it is less a character's expression than a direct address to the audience about disability, neurodiversity, and the right to aspiration. The English language gives it a universality that the Hindi-language tracks, for all their depth, are less likely to achieve internationally.

Different, But No Less was included in the Tanvi the Great soundtrack released July 5, 2025. The film received a special screening at IFFI 2025 where both Anupam Kher and M. M. Keeravani spoke about the film's message regarding autism and the rights of differently-abled individuals.

As the only English-language track and the most explicitly advocacy-oriented song on the Tanvi the Great album, Different, But No Less is likely to become the film's most recognisable statement on neurodiversity — used in awareness campaigns and educational contexts.
