On receiving the award, Rani shared on-stage, “I think MCVN is an important film in terms of what Indians go through outside our country. When this story came to me, I was myself shocked to know that a mother was treated like this and how her kids were taken away from her. As a mother, this story really touched me and I felt that I this story should be told to everyone. And I did the film.

She added, “I had a lot of enthusiasm within me when I read the script of this film and when I got to know this story. When I was shooting, I just had one thing in mind – that I had to give more than my 100% so as to bring this story of Sagarika on the big screen and make it feel real and to show it in a way that people forget me but see Devika Chatterjee in me. Hence it was important for me to become the character, and I am very happy and thankful that the audience liked it and they gave so much love to MCVN, to me, I am really grateful and very humbled with this award. Thank you Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival for giving me this honour. It is always truly special to win an award, specially when the audiences love your work and they give you the award first through box office, and second through these wonderful little mementos for the film.”

The film was a resounding hit at the box office, and it brought back belief that content cinema could pull people to theatres in this post-pandemic world.
