Keka 04/09/2023 It really touches the heart barring the drama.. and portrays an immigrants life in the true colour. Above all it highlights the interpersonal relationships in an Indian family. I really wish the key villain, the husband has been brought to justice and properly punished. Also if only the Indian govt had added a financial bonus to Mrs Chatterjee to help take care of her 2 children!! See more Ketan J 03/22/2023 I thought it was over dramatic but looking into the reality after watching the movie, I understand their depiction of events and applaud their boldness. Great acting, important message, moving delivery. See more Pranab 03/22/2023 Highly sensitive topic. Rani's acting is superb. Worth to watch it. See more Sindhu B @Sinvee0312 Jan 3 Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway mistakes volume for validity. Instead of engaging with the complexity of international child-welfare laws, the film bulldozes nuance to paint Norway as a villain and India as a monolith, reducing a legal case into a crude nationalist spectacle. This distortion feels reckless and ultimately undermines the film’s claim to moral seriousness. Worse, the movie presents "Indian culture" through a narrow, West Bengal–coded lens. Rani Mukerji, domestic spaces and habits are framed in ways that foreground clutter, questionable hygiene, and emotional chaos—then implicitly universalized as Indian norms. By doing so, the film reinforces tired stereotypes about hygiene and order often (and unfairly) associated with Bengal, exporting them to a global audience as representative truth. The result is an coercive drama that trades accuracy and diversity for outrage, embarrassing in its simplifications and damaging in its representations provocative, but not responsible. See more Howard G @Bobby5001 Dec 8 (a few spoilers) This is a striking movie which at first glance deserve a 5 for its stark realism; one is reminded of Not Without My Daughter. It's a movie but there's a strong interplay with real life. The story involves a Hindu immigrant with different customs whose daughter is suddenly taken by state authorities because of seemingly trivial or cultural differences. The movie is striking and anger-inducing. However, there is a critical real life detail omitted at least minimalized. The child had symptoms of autism or disability, with concerns voiced by the school prompting intervention. In the end that cannot justify the state actions but helps explains them. As something designed to portray a real life sequence of events, I thought the movie should have discussed or revealed this more. The movie is impressive, the characters look real life so I cannot imagine how and why critics weren't more impressed.

It also shows how easy it is to be denied access to justice. I attended the premier for this movie in London at The Crossroads Centre and the subject matter cuts deep, in part because that would never happen to you, until it does! The film had most of us crying, whether you are a parent or not, this is parent's worst nightmare and it is happening all across the globe with private enterprise springing up to provide care homes on behalf of taxpayers who have no idea that forced adoption and forced removal of children, without verifiable evidence is happening in their country. Highly recommend this film not just for its content but for how well the cast acted, how good the director was and how well researched the production is. If I could give more than five stars I would and I know anyone at the premier, anyone with a heart, would say the same. See more Read all reviews
