While filmmakers lament that films that address real issues do not receive audience support, Gaurav disagrees. While clarifying he is no ‘expert’ in matters of the box office, the veteran writer says, “My instinct says that people like to talk about things that impact them. The audience wants to see these stories that make us feel something, even if it is pain and anger. Subconsciously, we want that to be talked about. Such things are universal.”

Today morning, Delhi Police tweeted: “After following a few leads, we discovered that the hype around the surge in missing girls in Delhi is being pushed through paid promotion. Creating panic for monetary gains won’t be tolerated, and we’ll take strict action against such individuals.” Issuing an official statement denying involvement, a YRF spokesperson said, “Yash Raj Films is a 50 year old company founded on the core principles of being highly ethical and transparent. We strongly deny the accusations floating on social media that Mardaani 3’s promotional campaign has deliberately sensationalised a sensitive issue like this and we have immense trust in our authorities that they will share all facts and truths in due course of time.”

In an earlier tweet, shared yesterday, Delhi Police had shared, “Recent public discourse has raised concerns about the welfare of children in Delhi. We appeal to the citizens not to fall prey to the rumours about the spurt in the cases of missing children. While denying such claims, we also warn rumour mongers of strict legal action for creating unnecessary panic and fear by misrepresenting data. The safety of every child is of paramount importance to Delhi Police. Delhi Police is committed to serve 24×7 and making all out efforts to trace all missing persons and reunite them with distraught family members, at the earliest.”

Meanwhile, Mardaani 3 has received rave reviews online from netizens and critics alike. At the box office, the film has entered the ₹25 crore club in a week of release.

Lisa Kudrow has issued a heartfelt appeal to the future owner of Warner Bros. Discovery, urging them to preserve the iconic Burbank studio lot where the sitcom Friends was filmed for a decade.

In an recent interview, as quoted by The Hollywood Reporter, the actor, who essayed the character of Phoebe Buffay on the globally popular sitcom, asked that the historic Warner Bros. lot remain unchanged amid an ongoing ownership battle.

Kudrow said the studio holds significance not just for her personally, but for the wider film and television industry.

“It’s hard for me to tell whether Warner Bros. is just special to me, or if it’s special to the whole city or industry, and I think it is,” she said.

Reflecting on frequent changes in studio ownership, Kudrow added that she hopes the lot will be “preserved as is,” noting that it continues to function perfectly for modern productions.

She made a specific plea to protect “Jack Warner’s roses,” a long-standing feature of the studio grounds, as per The Hollywood Reporter

Warner Bros. has been the filming home of several landmark projects, including Casablanca, Blade Runner’ The Matrix, Inception, and The Goonies. For Kudrow, however, its significance is deeply personal. She worked on the lot for at least 10 years while filming Friends, which ran for 10 seasons from 1994 to 2004.

The sitcom, which also starred Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer, was primarily shot on Stage 24. Following the series finale, the stage was officially nicknamed ‘The Friends Stage’ in recognition of the show’s cultural impact.
