A mother's love knows no bounds

3 Mar - Rani Mukerji is touched over the overall praises that her new movie, "Mrs Chatterjee Vs Norway" received following the release of its official trailer.

The actress, who plays the titular role in the movie based on a true story, stated that the last time she has such overwhelming response was when she played a blind and deaf person in 2005's "Black".

"The reactions to the trailer have been too special and overwhelming, to say the least... I'm very humbled seeing the love pouring in from the world over, from my fans, people who have watched the trailer on social media, my own industry colleagues, friends, and family," she expressed.

"In my entire career, this is probably the first time I am witnessing so much love and emotion of this kind for my work!! The last I remember this had happened was during Black! Very rarely do we get to see such unanimous reactions for a trailer. To see people get teary-eyed and cry after seeing the trailer of a film is again never heard of before."

Rani stated that the huge response may stem from the fact that audiences are connecting with the helplessness of a mother depicted in the trailer.

"Mrs Chatterjee Vs Norway" will be released in theatres on 17 March. It also stars Anirban Bhattacharya, Jim Sarbh and Neena Gupta.

However, there is no scheduled release of the movie in Malaysia and Singapore at the time of writing.

Directed by Ashima Chibber, "Mrs Chatterjee Vs Norway" is based on the true story of Sagarika Bhattacharya and her husband and their fight against the Norwegian Child Welfare Services that took their two children away for what they alleged to be improper parenting.
