We wanted to make this film universal and it will definitely connect with audiences because at the end of the day were all born to mothers, no matter what relationship you have now. Rani Mukerji is really compassionate, sympathetic and supportive as a person so I couldn’t think of anyone else when I was prepping for the film. As a director, ‘Mrs. Chatterjee vs Norway’ has been a labor of love, a story close to my heart that celebrates the impossible spirit of a mother. I am excited for viewers to experience this journey on the television”

Based on a real-life incident, the film tells the story of Indian immigrant Debika Chatterjee (Rani Mukerji) whose kids have been taken away from her forcefully on the pretext of improper parenting. The official list of charges against her include reasons like sleeping in the same bed, hand-feeding her kids and applying kajal on their faces to ward off evil eye. She is called unstable and unfit to be a mother. How will she will fight against all odds to get her kids back? Does she get her kids back? Does she lose more in this battle than she wins?
