Rating is not enough to rate such movie

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.

It rips your heart out

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.

Movie review

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.

Mothers power

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.

Ban Norway

If this is true, i will ask my family and friends to ban Norway. We will never visit Norway ever again and hope they will learn about their so called "right" method to raise a child is not aöways the correct method. A mother knows best what is good or wrong for the children not the so welfare government. Children can always co sleep with their parents, it is not wrong. If this happen to me the three kidnappers would be sued until bankrupt. I am in Europe and always thought Norway is a good place to visit and stay but after this film, i will never visit Norway ever again. The Norway goverment should watch this film and change their system.

Trivia
Following a preview screening for invited guests shortly before this film's general release, the Norwegian ambassador to India Hans Jacob Frydenlund claimed the movie was "a work of fiction" that contained "a number of factual inaccuracies".

Ambassador Frydenlund said in a statement: "Children will never be taken away from their families [in Norway] based on cultural differences described. Eating with their hands or having children sleeping in bed with their parents are not considered practices harmful to children and are not uncommon in Norway, irrespective of cultural background."

Despite this, two of the complaints, or 'charges', leveled against Sagarika Chakraborty (upon whom the character of Mrs Chatterjee is based) by Norwegian child welfare authorities were that she hand-fed her children and 'co-slept' with them in the same bed. In particular, the authorities concerned claimed that her feeding methods amounted to a form of force-feeding.
