Verdict
Mrs. Chatterjee vs. Norway is based on the true story of an Indian couple’s 11-year battle with the Norwegian authorities for custody of their children. There are numerous actual incidents that have rocked the entire nation, and this is one of them; nevertheless, no one is aware of this awful incident that occurred in 2011.
The film begins slowly with establishing the plot and important characters; the initial drama becomes tedious after a certain point, but the film becomes interesting when a daycare worker takes Debika’s children when she goes out. As Debika discovers that her children are in the Child Welfare Services (CWS) of Norway, the audience’s tolerance is tested and we become emotionally immersed in the plot. The first half is uneven, but the second half is riveting, as Debika fights for her children in front of the Norwegian government. Despite the film’s brisk pace, a healthy dose of emotion will make you connect with the story, and it is surely emotional.
Rani Mukerji does a great job as mother Debika. She makes the character seem real and is also very good in emotional scenes. Anirban Bhattacharya is good, Jim Sarbh has less screen presence but is impressed with this fine performance, Neena Gupta did her part well, and the rest of the cast did their best.
Ashima Chibber should be praised for writing this shocking story to show how hard a mother works and fights for her children. Even with the story’s flaws, she won a lot of people over by telling this story and showing how the mother felt so well on screen.
Technically, Mrs. Chatterjee Vs. Norway is good. Amit Trivedi’s songs aren’t up to par, but he was happy with his background score, and the rest of the technical team did their best.
Overall, Mrs. Chatterjee vs. Norway is a movie with a lot of ups and downs that can be enjoyed by all kinds of people.
