i wanted to beat the fucking shit out of those two white girls.. THEY MADE ME SOOO MAD
What sounds a brilliant documentary subject in its most sincere appeals [In reconsideration of children's welfares, generalising emotions of their mothers with the ongoing clash of different cultures in serious spectrum of disapproval to eye of law for opening up those free spaces in name of welcoming more opportunities over ingenuities of love, care and family values]; here all those better opinions and deserving notions in the drama seem to have a louder and clumsy voice in Ashima Chibber's attempt to recreate Sagarika Chakraborty's years long tussle in courts of Norway and India to win her own children's custody after they were taken away by Government of Norway as some Norwegian childcare faculties noted down some of the Indian way…
Mrs. Chatterjee vs Norway: Mother against the World
“Am i a good mother?”
Ashima Chibber’s Mrs. Chatterjee vs Norway has a lot of heart but is let down by its simplistic storytelling. Based off real-life incidents, it never felt real to me. The Norwegian characters are lazy caricatures. There is no balance in the screenplay. The problem is that this is based on a true story but the facts are framed in a way to just highlight one character. A lot of it occurs in a courtroom but there is no back and forth. Regardless of how accurate these events are it becomes a story of a mother against the world. Rani’s performance is definitely loud but it suits the style…
If my kids were taken from me and my husband acted the way her husband did I would simply kill him
To think that this happened for real!
The performances are just fine all around. Deserved a better treatment. Very, very middle, with black-and-white characters; Jim Sarbh’s is an exception.
Loved it. I saw some reviews saying it was stereotypical. I'd like to very much disagree. Almost half the dialogue in the film is in Bengali (for which there are subtitles, of course) and that just shows the conviction the makers had while making this. Such a thing will definitely harm the film's box office but they still went ahead with it.
Just the feeling of watching Rani Mukerji being back on screen after so long was enough to like this.
Not to say that the film doesn't have any merit. It does get a tad unrealistic towards the end but the journey till then is so emotional and riveting and heart-wrenching. A woman standing tall and fighting against all odds just to get reunited with her children.
I was sobbing. Not even a few tears, literally streams flowed down my cheeks. Made me want to go and give my mother a big tight hug.
