Even though actress Rani Mukerji is currently savouring the triumph of her most recent film, Mrs. Chatterjee Vs. Norway, she was anxious before the film’s debut. According to reports, the movie is doing well at the box office, therefore Rani spoke out about the “cynicism” surrounding the movie’s debut. She remembered the difficulties in the movie.
Mrs. Chatterjee Vs. Norway, a film by Ashima Chibber, is based on the true tale of Sagarika Chakaraborty and is an adaptation of her book The Journey of a Mother. Rani plays Debika Chatterjee, a mother in the movie, who battles the country for the custody of her children after they were taken from her under the pretext of bad parenting.
Mrs Chatterjee Vs Norway minted positive reviews and opened at ₹1.27 crore in theatres on its first day. Speaking about the box office numbers, Variety quoted Rani, “I truly believe that a good film will always find its audience, regardless of what the genre is. There was a lot of challenge for our film, because the new fashionable word that is going on is OTT ‘content’ – it is something that has bothered me a lot. Because I do believe that cinema is an experience to be had in the theaters.”
“There was so much cynicism before the release of the film and so many naysayers saying that fashionable term OTT content. So, it was really scary because when you are all alone, fighting this cynicism, I was just hoping and praying that the audience validates my belief in good cinema. And the audience has done that,” the actor further added.
