Being an over protective mother she decides to join her son’s college, which eventually suffers a backlash for invading the son’s privacy.

Talking about her role in the film, Kajol says, “Helicopter Eela comes from a hashtag helicopter mom. Which is basically what an Indian mother has always been – overpossessive and stalkerish. In India, every mother is a helicopter mother so we named it Helicopter Eela. I don’t think Indian mothers are going to change very much. But yes, Eela is just that little bit more. The character is relatable. I loved the concept of the story and the fact that it spoke about a relationship between a single mother and her son”.
