Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin SPLIT after 8 year romance: Reports
Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin have reportedly pulled the plug on their romance after nearly 8 years together. The couple who has been in an off-and-on relationship for nearly a decade, have now ended things again, and this time, insiders say it's for good.
According to multiple sources cited by PEOPLE, the Materialists actress, and the Coldplay frontman, have broken up again. Representatives for both stars have not yet confirmed or denied the news.
The couple, who were first linked in 2017, were last seen publicly on May 16 during a casual outing in Malibu. Earlier this year, they were photographed holding hands and walking about the busy streets of Mumbai, while in India for Coldplay's Music of the Spheres tour.
Although at the time, they were plagued with break-up rumours, the two were spotted by fans looking loved up as they headed out on quiet romantic walks late evening, exploring the bylanes of the city.
Rumours of an engagement had also been rife back in 2020, with a source confirming to PEOPLE in March 2024 that they had been engaged for 'years,' though they were in 'no rush' to marry. When breakup speculation surfaced in August 2024, Johnson's rep had denied the claims, insisting the couple were 'happily together.'

At the time, sources suggested they were navigating the challenges of balancing two busy careers, but still deeply committed.
'They've had issues and taken breaks in the past,' a source shared last year, 'but things were great. They were trying to make it work.' Another source had described the relationship as full of 'ups and downs,' yet stable — until now.

Dakota Johnson's sexy, sheer look dubbed the 2025 'revenge dress' by fans amid rumoured split with Chris Martin
After 8 years on being on-again, off-again, actor Dakota Johnson and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, seem to have finally called it quits for good. Things definitely appear to be more 'final' this time, seeing as the actor was spotted out and about in New York City on June 2, sans her engagement ring. Dakota, 35, and Chris, 48, were first linked together back in 2017 and have maintained a fairly low profile when it comes to their romance, save for a handful of headline-making public appearances — Chris' India trip for Coldplay's Music of the Spheres World Tour earlier this year in January, for which she accompanied him makes for a good example as does the Malibu Yoga class they were spotted stepping out from on May 16. As far as the engagement goes, the two, as per a source-based report from PEOPLE, have been engaged for "years", though they only sparked rumours of such, in 2020. Across the occasional bouts of breakup rumours the pair have weathered, reps or sources have always come back with confirmation of there being no trouble in paradise. However, a recent exclusive source-based report from the publication asserts, that "it feels final this time". Another fool proof indicator? The sexy and all-sheer, black 'revenge dress' Dakota marked her presence for Late Night with Seth Meyers, in. In lieu of promoting her upcoming release, Materialists, also starring Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans, Dakota turned out (and heads!) in a naked dress ensemble from Nensi Dojaka's Spring/Summer 2025 collection. Imagine delicate reams of pale blak tulle wrapped over and around to swish into a ruffled mermaid-esque hemline. Ah. Black pumps, golden hoops, cat eye sunnies and a YSL shoulder bag completed the look. Now just as a reminder, the revenge dress mints its name from Princess Diana's watershed moment, using fashion as her pièce de résistance at the June 1994 fundraising dinner at the Serpentine Gallery in Kensington Gardens. Her Christina Stambolian off-the-shoulders, black and silken evening gown, was and is read to be, a fashion-fueled response to Prince Charles publicly admitting to his love for Camilla whilst being married to the Princess of Wales. Speaking specifically of the dress, Princess Diana had owned it for 3 years before she finally decided to pull it out for the June dinner. The apprehension earlier had been about the dress being too risky. However, Anna Harvey, her former stylist, revealed that the only intention for the night was for Diana to look like "a million dollars", a brief she clearly nailed. Coming back to Dakota, is this her revenge dress, or simply a fire fit?

Star power or script power? The highs and lows of Tamil multi-starrers
Multi-starrer films have always created massive buzz in Tamil cinema, drawing in audiences with the sheer thrill of watching their favorite actors share the screen. When executed well, they deliver cinematic gold, take 'Chekka Chivantha Vaanam' for instance. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Directed by , this action-packed drama brought together a stellar cast including , , Arun Vijay, Simbu, and Jyotika. Its success proved that a well-balanced script can harness multiple star energies without one overshadowing the other, making it a standout example of a multi-starrer done right. The film's taut screenplay and distinct character arcs offered a textbook case on how to effectively manage ensemble casts in mainstream cinema. The danger of star-centric films without substance On the other end of the spectrum lies the issue of unbalanced screen time and underwhelming writing. 'Jailer,' despite Rajinikanth's commanding presence, left some audiences divided due to the extended cameos by Mohanlal and Shiva Rajkumar, which felt more like crowd-pleasers than story drivers. Similarly, 'GOAT,' Thalapathy Vijay's ambitious time-travel drama directed by Venkat Prabhu, attempts to capitalize on a multi-layered cast including Prashanth, Prabhu Deva, and Meenakshi Chaudhary. However, the film faced criticism for failing to give its ensemble meaningful arcs, leading to a disconnect between hype and substance. When characters exist only to serve fan service, the storytelling inevitably suffers. Big promises ahead Ajith's 'Vidaamuyarchi,' which carried the promise of a unique storyline and an emotionally engaging journey, couldn't quite strike the right balance between character depth and mass moments. Meanwhile, 'Thug Life,' reuniting with Mani Ratnam after decades, boasts a dynamic lineup including Silambarasan, Trisha, , and Gautham Karthik. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now With expectations skyrocketing, fans hope the screenplay justifies each star's presence, avoiding the common pitfalls of fragmented storytelling. Adding to the excitement is 'Coolie,' directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and starring Rajinikanth, which promises to blend star power with a gripping narrative, raising the bar for upcoming multi-starrers. The audience today is far more discerning, expecting not just presence, but purpose. Not every multi-starrer gets it right The real challenge in Tamil multi-starrers lies in coherence. Star value might sell the first weekend, but only gripping content sustains a film. Overstuffed casts often lead to shallow characterizations—as seen in 'Anbanavan Asaradhavan Adangadhavan,' where Simbu's multiple avatars couldn't salvage the muddled plot. Successful multi-starrers like 'Vikram,' though from the pan-Indian arena, set a benchmark for how Tamil actors like Kamal Haasan, Vijay Sethupathi, and Fahadh Faasil can thrive when backed by a strong narrative. 'No one can steal your talent. Multi-starrers are an opportunity to learn from other actors,' said Vijay Sethupathi during the promotions of Vikram. 'Without a strong supporting cast, no hero's film truly works. Multi-starrers are about adding value to the story,' shared while speaking about ensemble films at a movie event. 'Star clashes are purely business. What truly matters is whether each role fits the story—like it did in Vikram,' said Kamal Haasan, explaining the business strategy behind multi-starrers during 'Vikram' promotions. Nikilesh Surya (theatre manager & trade observer) on Vikram said in an interaction with The News Minute: 'Vikram is a testament to the box office potential of a good film with a great cast that people are eager to see. Hopefully, stars will let creators do their part like in Vikram and they can see the results follow.' "A strong cast does generate opening weekend hype but success must come from substance", posted trade analyst Ramesh Bala on social media about 'Thug Life.' Story over stardom: The real key to longevity In essence, multi-starrer Tamil films are a double-edged sword. While the excitement around them is undeniable, their lasting impact depends on the script's ability to justify each character's presence. Star power might open doors, but it's the story that ensures they remain open.

‘Gachiakuta' trailer: Modern shounen marvel sets July release, with special theatrical premiere in India
The highly anticipated anime adaptation of Gachiakuta is officially set to premiere on Crunchyroll starting July 6, 2025. Already hailed as a potential game-changer for modern shounen, the series will receive a special theatrical debut in several countries ahead of the streaming launch, including India, where fans can catch it early on July 4 at PVR Icon in Mumbai. Gachiakuta, created by Kei Urana with graffiti artist Hideyoshi Andou, has built a reputation as one of the most exciting shounen manga of recent years. First serialised in Weekly Shonen Magazine in 2022, it now spans 14 volumes and is published in English by Kodansha USA. With Studio Bones (My Hero Academia, Mob Psycho 100) producing the anime, and a creative team stacked with veterans including director Fumihiko Suganuma, writer Hiroshi Seko, and composer Taku Iwasaki, the expectations are intense. The official trailer, released alongside a new key visual, introduces the protagonist Rudo Surebrec, a slum dweller wrongfully accused of murder and exiled into the abyss, which is essentially, a trash pit crawling with monstrous creatures. There, Rudo must fight for survival and vengeance, joining a group called the Cleaners to battle towering trash beasts. The anime also showcases high-profile voice talent, with Aoi Ichikawa as Rudo, Katsuyuki Konishi as Enjin, Yumiri Hanamori as Riyou Reaper, and Yoshitsugu Matsuoka as Zanka Nijiku. The series will also feature an opening song 'HUGs' by Paledusk and an ending theme 'TOMOSHIBI' by DUSTCELL. Alongside India, premiere screenings are planned in Tokyo, Los Angeles, Paris, São Paulo, Berlin, and Rome. The July 4 premiere at Anime Expo in L.A. will also feature a panel with creators Kei Urana, Hideyoshi Andou, and producer Naoki Amano.
