The trailer of Rani Mukerji’s upcoming film Mrs Chatterjee Vs Norway was unveiled today. Directed by Ashima Chibber (Mere Dad Ki Maruti, 2013), the film is based on the real-life story of an Indian-origin couple living in Norway whose children were taken by the Norwegian welfare services in 2011.

The film also stars Anirban Bhattacharya, Jim Sarbh and Neena Gupta.

The trailer introduces us to Debika Chatterjee (Rani), her husband and two young kids, Shubh and Suchi. The family, originally from Kolkata, are living in Norway. It is all happy and content till the Norwegian authorities take away their children, contending that the family is unfit to take care of them. The authorities also claim that Mrs Chatterjee has “an unstable mind” and is not suited to provide for her children. The trailer also reveals that the welfare services are apparently running a scam where they make money by putting children in foster care. Now it is a fight of a lone woman against the system to retrieve her children.

Here is the trailer 

Talking about the film, Rani said, “Mrs Chatterjee Vs Norway is very special. I can’t wait to see the reactions of my fans on the trailer.”

Produced by Zee Studios and Emmay Entertainment (Monisha Advani, Madhu Bhojwani and Nikkhil Advani), the film is slated to release in theatres on March 17.
