"Rani Mukerji's Film Sparks Debate on Child Welfare and Norway's Care for Families"

The Norwegian Embassy in India has criticized the film "Mrs Chatterjee Vs Norway" for factual inaccuracies and called it a "work of fiction". The film is based on an Indian couple's fight against the Norwegian government for custody of their children. The embassy stressed that child welfare in Norway is "not driven by profit" and refuted the claim made in the film that "the more children put into the foster system, the more money they make". The embassy also highlighted that children are placed in alternative care only when they face neglect or are "subject to violence or other forms of abuse".
