New Delhi: After an impressive trailer, the makers of Rani Mukerji's upcoming film ‘Mrs Chatterjee VS Norway’, have released the first song of the film titled ‘Shubho Shubho.’ The song is written by Kausar Munir, the music is by Amit Trivedi and Altamash Faridi has lent his vocals to the track.
The video shows the journey of Mrs. Chatterjee (played by Ran) as she starts her married life in Norway with her husband. It showcases her journey from a newlywed to a mother of two and her happy family life. The video also shows her celebrating Indian customs and festivals with her family.
Talking about the song, Rani said in a statement, “Being a Bengali, I’m all for the representation of my roots, and my culture in mainstream Hindi cinema. My heart is full that I have played a Bengali character in Mrs Chatterjee Vs Norway and showcased the spirit of a fierce Bengali mother in the film. What I really love about the movie is that it has tried to represent the culture of West Bengal in various endearing ways including the saris that I have worn, the way Bengalis celebrate Durga Puja the way I have spoken Bengali and even the fact that the songs have Bengali lyrics, the touch of Baul music and the presence of Dhaak (Bengali drum) & Shankh (Conch Shell) - which are intrinsic to Bengali folk music.
She praised music composer Amit Trivedi and lyricist Kausar Munir for presenting the Bengali culture aptly through the song despite not being themselves.
“It is commendable that music composer, Amit Trivedi, and lyricist Kausar Munir aren’t Bengalis and yet they have shown so much sensitivity to represent my culture and roots so brilliantly. Cinema today is all about the synchronicity of cultures and traditions and I’m proud that my film is showcasing the authenticity unabashedly,” she added.
Talking about the song, Amit Trivedi said in a statement, “Music can alter the mood. It accentuates feelings that dwell within. It was pertinent that I touch on the right mood and chords for Shubho Shubho, which signifies a new beginning for Debika’s character.”
The film is inspired by the story of an Indian couple whose children were taken away from them by Norwegian welfare services in 2011. The film recounts the story of an immigrant Indian mother’s battle against the Norwegian foster care system and local legal machinery to regain her children's custody.
Directed by Ashima Chibber, the film will hit the theaters on March 17.
