Mrs. Chatterjee vs. Norway

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
