Uma Mãe Contra um País

This is not a movie it's a pain and unfortunate struggle of a Mother. Master Piece Movie played by remarkable actress and all time favorite Rani Mukherjee. Lots of emotions, eyes unable to hold my tears... Whole Team played good in the movie but Rani is RANI.

Mrs. Chatterjee vs. Norway is added to my all time favorite movie list. Our Bollywood have potential and this movie prove that. This movie has some gaps but it's story and Rani's acting overlap all of these. I enjoyed a lots from my heart. Thanks for making such a emotional drama movie. Hope in this way our Bollywood always provide us such master piece 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.

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.

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.

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.
