Mrs. Chatterjee vs. Norway

Sameer lodaya

One has to see this movie for realising the mothers actual power and what can she do for her children

What a content to watch and that too a real story a big salute to the mother who fought so wisely to get her children back in a foreign land

The direction of aashima was very sharp and have shown the audiences the real pain of a mother went through whose children were snatched away from her and how she fought to get them back

Rani played very well with her Bengali accent mixed with little English Jim was wow for his small and strong role

Some good edit was needed in first half as it was going dull but they picked up very strong the second half ..good songs were missing ..little more pain and emotions was required..a experienced and strong female actor like Supriya Pathak was needed as a lawyer

A must must must watch.

Mrs Chatterjee vs Norqay is a bold, heart-rending and equally engrossing film. Based on a real life incident, this film is a true testimony of a mother's compassion, love and affection towards her own children. Bolstered by a towering performance by Rani, an ensemble cast's brilliance, surreal music by Amit Trivedi and powerful screenplay which stays true to its subject in its entirety, MCVN gives you ample moments of melancholy and joy. Overall one of the best real life inspired stories made in Bollywood.

MCVN is a brilliant ode to all the resilience shown by Sagarika Bhattacharya , the real hero behind the story. A fight against an entire nation just get her kids back while she gets no support from his spouse in an unknown country is no joke. Credits to the entire team for making such a moving film . Ashima Chibber truely captures the anxiety and restlessness of a mother without being peachy and over the top. Yes it has its share of flaws of Rani being at a high pitch initially and doing too much but as the film progresses the she gets a good hold of the depth of the character and gives a solid nuaced performance which will be remembered. Anirban is brilliant and gets you pissed easily. Jim Sarb is exceptional in his restraint and understated performance. The other ensemble cast is just brilliant too.

How far can a mother go to bring her children back? Up to eternity, the fight can go on, right? Since the mother won't lose until her last breath. Chatarjee, played by Rani Mukharji, brings life to this endless battle where viewers are suffocated by countless emotions. At every turn, you know she is fighting a losing battle, with her family and even the entire government as her enemies. Interestingly, this movie is based on a real story.

Jim Sarbh has been cast properly as the NRI lawyer born in Oslo. Soumya plays Anurag Chatarjee, the evil husband, so seamlessly that you start hating him without even noticing.

It's not that the whole movie is flawless. You can find some stereotypes, and there are some broad strokes in the writing. However, if you want to understand what a mother is, you need to watch this movie.

This movie is hands down a masterpiece. Rani in central role nailed this movie with her acting. Anirban has justified his role. Epic description of mother love and strength to protect her children. This movie brings you goosebumps and is relatable to every parent and sacrifices the parents make for their children. As this movie is based on true story of 2010-2011 case of Sagrika bhattacharya. Heartiest wishes and congratulations to real mother Sagrika battacharya who bought the whole nation down of Norway to get her kids back. I am so sorry that any mother has go through something like this. The pain, trauma and anxiety the kids and sagrika went through is unbelievable. I have cried watching this movie, extremely emotional and heartbreaking This kind of movies are required nowadays which can bring awareness, compassion and worth your time, money. I would recommend 100% watching this movie.

This is based on a true story. In my opinion, it is easy to make the narrative quite boring while presenting true stories and cases since the audience is generally aware of the facts. But in this case, the narrative is quite entertaining and it keeps you hooked to your seat. There are quite a few tear-jerker moments, which is quite surprising since this is a known and well publicized story. I think the director was able to peep into the mother's psychology and treat the subject from her perspective, while also including the social commentary around her. The music does lend a good feeling to the story. Overall, it is worth watching with your family, specially if you stay overseas.
