The film deals with the struggle of a Bengali woman, Sagarika Bhattacharya, to take the custody of her children taken by Norway government to foster homes, amid her disapproving and tormenting husband and in laws. The film is commendable for the bold subject it charts on which created some controversies as Norway government isn't happy of some factual liberties the film takes. Anyway, it still is a well accomplished effort on presenting a real life story and an eye opener.
The major strengths of the film are the astounding performance of Rani Mukherjee, perhaps in one of her bravest roles following "Black," a compelling performance from Jim Sarabh, and the revered milieu of Norway it depicts. However, the minus of the film includes its overstretched and ineffective finale which somehow fails to connect the emotions of a mother.
Rating: 2 stars out of 4.
