In the plot description it says "Sia and Matilda from 'velfred', a child welfare service"

This is wrong in multiple ways; first it's a spelling error, it's supposed to be "velferd" which means welfare, but that's not child welfare services, it's probably referring to NAV, arbeids- og velferdsforvaltningen (NAV is the name of the governmental organ, the rest means "employment- and welfare administration") which is the place where immigrants would go to receive work or welfare *money and services*.

The place that deals with childcare is called "barnevernet", which translates to childcare and serves the same function as the English version. So they're 2 separate government bodies, and the one in the article is wrong and spelled wrong, it should be "barnevernet", you can even click the link and it'll show you.

Source: Native Norwegian, and I work in the government, but most of all, it's literally hyperlinked in the wrongly spelled word already, it'll take you to barnevernets Wikipedia page. 2A01:799:1928:5C00:8022:655D:8A87:FF5B (talk) 12:36, 25 March 2023 (UTC)

The children’s names are spelled incorrectly. Should be Shubh and Suchi. Tumbleweed42AC (talk) 09:19, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

AN immigrant couple, setting up a life together in Norway along with their two children, crosses path with the child welfare department. However, their Indian way of parenting doesn't gel with the European system, and the mother has to fight a long, lonely battle.The film charts the story of Debika and Anirudh Chatterjee. The couple has two children — a son in school and daughter a few months old. The family is under watch of the child welfare services' officials due to a report of domestic abuse. Next we know, the children are taken away from them and put in foster care, keeping their 'best interests' in mind.Rani Mukerji steps into the shoes of Debika. One learns early in the film that Anirudh (Anirban Bhattacharya) and Debika are not on the same page. While her life centres around her children, he is devoted to his work and values Norwegian citizenship over anything else.Based on the story of Sagarika Chakraborty, it is indeed a tale of grit and determination of an immigrant mother who takes on an entire country. Its reel outing, by director Ashima Chibber, who has Mere Dad Ki Maruti to her credit, however, falls short of touching one's emotional chords. The film, based on Chakraborty's book — The journey of a Mother — adapted by Sameer Satija, Ashima Chibber and Rahul Handa, sure lacks the punch.he protagonist, Debi, does everything wrong from the word go. While her talks with her infant daughter reflect her inner state, it's really not established if she is actually depressed or fighting postpartum. Maa is a staple in Bollywood, but Mrs Chatterjee fails to secure the top spot. While it is the story of a mother's fight for her children, it's also as much about patriarchy, stereotypical greedy in-laws, hapless girls’ parents and more.While the film does paint Norway's child welfare system in villainous light, it does try to make subtle points in its favour. Daniel Singh Ciupek (Jim Sarbh) is an adopted son, and he stands for the system, as he has grown up in it. The brief phone call with his mother establishes that the duo share a strong bond. Indian ways —children sharing bed with parents — is one objection from the authorities. Later, when Anirudh's parents come to Norway, there is a scene in which his mother is seen sleeping in her son's bed, as his wife Debika takes the couch, pointing at dysfunctional family dynamics.Blame it on writing, rather than feeling sorry for Debi, one kind of cringes at the melodramatic moves she makes to get her children. Rani is a great performer, but here as Debi she isn't convincing. Anirban, as a detached male chauvinist who gaslights his wife, and in turn tries to play the system, acts just right.Though full of incongruities, Jim Sarbh as a Norwegian lawyer still manages to impress. Courtroom drama gets interesting with Barun Chanda as the judge and Balaji Gauri as a fiery lawyer. There is only one scene where children in the judge's chamber gravitate towards their mum, which tugs at your heart's strings. Parineon13 (talk) 12:16, 22 June 2023 (UTC)

International distribution

Would this movie go into international distribution ? This topics is of much interest in Central and Eastern Europe as well. Case of Mrs. Chatterjee is just one of many similar cases of Norwegian Barnevernet crimes against human rights. People from Poland, Czech Republic and even the USA have been involved as well. This is not about any India-specific cultural differences, this is a whole system of children removal from their families and subsequent distribution to well-paid foster families. 89.111.73.140 (talk) 11:05, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
