→Trivia
- The film was shot in just 18 days, using a single primary location to create a claustrophobic feel.
- Director Arati Kadav is known for sci-fi, making this a rare grounded drama in her filmography.
- The movie's title 'Mrs.' is stylised with a full stop, emphasising it as a definitive label.
- It premiered at the Chicago South Asian Film Festival before its theatrical release in India.
- The script was partly inspired by real-life marital anecdotes shared in women's support groups.
- Much of the film's tension comes from long, static shots that make the home feel like a trap.
- The production design used a muted, beige-heavy colour palette to mirror the protagonist's dull life.
