A conveniently scripted story (based on true incidents) of a mother fighting to regain custody of her two kids from the child welfare authorities of Norway, this film has Rani giving her heart and soul to the portrayal of the anguished mother but the melodramatic turn and character arc meant to make her seem holier than thou, is a little hard to stomach. Co-scripted by Ashima, #RahulHanda and #SameerSatija the narrative is hell-bent on presenting the offense as a cultural difference with corrupt child welfare authorities' chancy misrepresentation for financial gain rather than bad parenting issues. The mother’s fight is largely against the child welfare authorities. Given the piecemeal manner in which this story is presented, I am sure there is much more than meets the eye here. This is a major problem with biopics in Bollywood - wanting to present an acceptable stereotypical facade rather than the real deal!
