Top Bollywood star Rani Mukerji is basking in the box office success of “Mrs. Chatterjee vs. Norway,” which flies in the face of “cynicism” from “naysayers” as the actor describes it.
The film, directed by Ashima Chibber and written by Rahul Handa, Sameer Satija and Chibber, is based on the true story of an Indian couple whose children were taken away from them by Norwegian welfare services in 2011. Mukerji plays the titular Mrs. Chatterjee who battles with the Norwegian government to reunite with her children.
The modestly budgeted film released on March 17 and has grossed some $3.2 million worldwide so far.
“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...

New Delhi, Oct 24 (Ians) Ahead of Dussehra, which emphasises on the celebration of the triumph of good over evil, actors have shared their favourite films that define the theme of the festival.
For veteran actress Himani Shivpuri, it's the 1998 film Salman Khan-starrer "Bandhan".
"'Bandhan' is easily one of my favourites as the title itself talks of eternal bonds. It is an excellent example of a movie that shows truth always prevails. For all those have not seen this movie, the premise of the story was how Jackie Shroff's character falls prey to selfish motives and remarries. This leads to him spoiling his relations with his ex-wife and his brother-in-law. He realises much later the importance of relationships and the mistakes he made all along," the actress, who also featured in the movie, told Ians.

Actress Rani Mukerji says it is regressive thinking on stereotyping actresses on the basis of their marital status and parenthood.
"I have always believed in letting my work do the talking and not pay heed to what the stereotypes said about actresses. Having been in the industry for a while now, I'm aware of loose conversations like a woman ceases to be a leading actor once she is married or how she can say bye to her career if she becomes a mother. It's regressive thinking," Rani said.

Rani has given power pact performances with "Mardaani", "Hichki" and "Mardaani 2" in the recent past. "Mardaani", came right after her wedding. "Hichki" came after she welcomed her daughter Adira and taken a sabbatical from acting.

Mardaani 2
Starring Rani Mukherjee, Vishal Jethwa
Written & Directed by Gopi Puthran
Something deeply disturbing happens in the course of this tactile thriller about an audacious criminal and a determined law enforcer playing a game of cat-and-mouse to the bloody finish.
Somewhere during the nailbiting narration, the vile villain, so heinous and barbaric in his violence against women that he could be all the gang rapists of the Nirbhaya case rolled into one, begins to seem a far more interesting character than our cop-heroine Shivani Roy, whom we met five years ago in the first Mardaani film.
Back then Rani Mukherjee appeared far more fiery and passionate. Maybe it’s just age that has caught up with Shivani. Or worse, maybe she has become bored with all the crime corruption and compromises around her. But back then she seemed to care much more when a street girl disappeared and was...
