Mrs Chatterjee Vs Norway mired in controversy 

Though the makers claimed that the film was based on real-life incidents, before Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway was released, Hans Jacob Frydenlund, Norwegian ambassador to India, shared on social media that the movie incorrectly depicted Norway’s beliefs about family. He added that the Bollywood movie had "factual inaccuracies" and called it a "work of fiction".

Reacting to the same, Rani Mukerji said that the ambassador is ‘entitled to his opinion. “It is a true story, and the intention of the film was very different from what was being projected in the opinion that was given. It was about a mother’s journey,” Rani said in an interview with Hindustan Times. She also added that the movie was not made to offend anyone.
