Mumbai, Aug 10 (Ians) Actress Rani Mukerji, who was earlier seen in the film ‘Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway’ in March 2023, has revealed that she went through a personal tragedy in 2020 when she had a miscarriage five months into her second pregnancy during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The actress made the revelation at the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne, the inauguration of which was held recently.
She also said that she chose to refrain from talking about the tragedy during the release of ‘Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway’ as it would have been seen as a promotional strategy.
‘Mrs Chatterjee Vs Norway’, which is written and directed by Ashima Chibber, is a legal drama which also stars Anirban Bhattacharya, Neena Gupta and Jim Sarbh. The film is inspired by the real-life story of an Indian couple whose children were taken away by Norwegian authorities in 2011.

An interesting comparison can be drawn between two important male characters in the film Mrs. Chatterjee vs. Norway. It is their principles that separate them at the end of the film, making Aniruddha an antagonist and Daniel Cupik an empath. Let’s try to understand these two characters individually first before comparing them to each other. The film follows an Indian Bengali family that loses their kids to the child services system in Norway and the mother’s sole fight to win them back. Of course, Rani Mukherjee is the highlight of the film, followed by her last advocate, who eventually helps her get custody of her kids in India. There is a special place for the male lead of the film, Mr. Aniruddha Chatterjee. Played by Anirban Bhattacharya, he has this special place because every time he speaks, you feel an ick and want to smack a punching bag.

Actress Rani Mukerji spoke candidly about why the film ‘Mrs Chatterjee Vs Norway’ speaks to her.
Rani in an exclusive BTS clip shared with IMDb, said: “The film resonates with one emotion which is the mother’s emotion. This movie is a reminder to all children in the world that there’s no greater emotion or relationship than with a mother. As a mother, I couldn’t place myself in Sagarika’s shoes because it is a painful thought to be separated from your child.
She added: “I can’t even imagine it. Animals too have a natural instinct with their children that if someone tries to take their children away, the mother will straightaway attack. It is the same with human mothers as well. If you try to do something with their child, they will not spare you.
“You forget to say thank you to your mothers and take them for granted.

Why wait for the end of the year? Just give all the awards to Rani Mukerji for her sinewy performance as a hyper Bengali mother battling the government of Norway for the right to her own children.
There! I said it. Sounds so ridiculous: a mother being deprived for the right to her own children. But it all happened , and not so long ago when Sagarika Bhattacharya and her husband’s kids were taken away.
This is what happens when eager NRIs don’t read the fine print before migrating. Rani Mukerji, here rechristened Debika Chatterjee, fights tooth and nail to get back her children. Not much support from her stiff-lipped husband (Anirban Bhattacharya) . In the process of battling bureaucracy almost singlehandedly Debika encounters all sorts of conspiracies and schemers.

Adaptation of a nightmare true story about a woman whose children were removed by the Norwegian state gets passionate too late
This epic Hindi-language testament to tenacious maternal love has been neatly timed for release over the UK Mother’s Day weekend, although it’s based on a true story which began over a decade earlier. Sagarika Chakraborty had already been living in Norway for four years when, in 2011, her two young children were taken by the state for no apparent reason. Rani Mukerji stars as this latter-day Mother India, renamed Debika Chatterjee for the film. It’s a dowdy role for the usually glamorous Bollywood star, but then any averagely vivacious human being would stand out against this grey Norway of municipal buildings and expressionless bureaucrats.
Why were Debika’s children taken away? The official list of charges – co-sleeping, hand-feeding, applying kohl – amount, on the face of it, to simple cultural differences,...

Both regarding his life (particularly his decision to leave (ousted for others) the Congress in 1939 following differences with Mahatma Gandhi, and join the Nazis and Imperial Japan against the British, but more regarding the events of his death. While the official record places it on August 18, 1945, after his overloaded Japanese plane crashed in Japanese Taiwan, there are two other theories that have drawn many followers, both of which state that Bose actually faked his death. The first suggests that he managed to escape to Russia, where he was captured and tortured to death in the gulags, while the second that he eventually left Russia, became a monk and returned to India under the name of Gumnaani Baba.

Srijit Mukherji is unarguably the most prolific filmmaker of contemporary Bengali cinema. He switches from intimate human portraits to wide-canvassed bio-pics with the ease and fluency of a pro.
This time it's the controversial nature of Subhas Chandra Bose's life and death that occupies his creative spectrum. Based on the controversial Mukherjee Commission Hearings, the film fuses a fictional Orson Welles-inspired hero who, like Citizen Kane, sets out to uncover the truth about the death of Netaji, with a fund of historical facts that permeate imminently into the narrative.
It is a fascinating character study of an obstinate leader determined to free India from foreign rule, though the film is not fully freed of foreign influences. Ironically, Anirban Bhattacharya as the Netaji-obsessed journalist Chandrachur Dhar gets much more footage than Bose, who is played by the redoubtable Prosenjit Chatterjee as a cheerless (didn't Netaji ever smile?), stoic, mumbling...

And sometimes the mind is covered with a mask of flesh and skin and there lies the criminal instinct which has a flow of its own. “Vinci Da” is a never before made psychological thriller in Bengali cinema which has a unique way to portray the conflict between good and evil thoughts and its impact.

Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap, who has made films like "Paanch" and "Raman Raghav 2.0" based on the life of serial killers, feels that truth is stranger than fiction.
Anurag was interacting with the media at the launch of author Anirban Bhattacharya's book titled "The Deadly Dozen: India's Most Notorious Serial Killers" here on Thursday.
Asked what is it about the mind of a serial killer that draws him to make films on them, Anurag said: "It's always inexplicable? I don't understand what makes them the way they are and that's what is very interesting because you can't make sense of it.
"I feel the logic, the intelligence and no kind of reasoning works there. It is just as it is and that is what is scary about them."
What kind of challenges does he face when he fictionalizes something that has already happened?
