Mrs. Chatterjee vs. Norway

Phew, the film touched me on many levels.

The first half was hard to bear as Rani Mukerji was very 'emotional', maybe a little bit over it.

Unfortunately, the focus here was more on the theatricality than on the essentials.

Thus, the viewer learns almost nothing about the Norwegian 'culture' of raising children.

As a mother, it is difficult to understand why it should not be okay for a child to sleep in the parents' bed or why it should be bad that children from Indian homes get a khola.

Also, it was not even illuminated that the husband was violent towards his wife - the viewer learns this at the very edge.

Many questions remained unanswered for me.

The second half of the film - back in India - offered a very different Rani.

Still fighting for her children, but less theatrical.

Then I would like to find it frightening how cultural differences have been dealt with in Europe.

Our society can only grow through diversity.

A good story , top notch acting by all the crew and bow down to Rani Mukherjee she played character so well.i wish this movie a good luck.

I watched this movie because of previous knowledge of this case and movie doesn't disappointed me . Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway rests on Rani Mukerji's shoulder and she carries the film well .

Filmmaker Ashima Chibber's film Mrs Chatterjee Vs Norway stars Rani Mukerji as Debika Chatterjee who is separated from her two young children by the Norway Children's Welfare Program on the pretext of bad parenting. Based on a real-life incident that took place in 2011.

Yesterday I watched this movie night show in hall and the whole hall is empty only 10-12 people may be there. The story basic plot of seperation of mother with his childrens to foster house without her consent and the struggle begins how she will take her children's back from Norway govt. Rani Mukherjee is a main lead and leading the whole movie where rest all characters also look good in there roles rani has done a great job the Bengali accent was so natural as she is Bengali if you want to watch a drama with good court room scenerios so here is your wait over. Finally if you don't know it's a true based event story adaptation.

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.
