India Today17-07-2025
Prime Video's upcoming romantic drama 'The Map That Leads To You' is set to drop on August 20, bringing with it sweeping visuals, heartfelt emotion, and the promise of a love story that lingers. Directed by Oscar-nominated filmmaker Lasse Hallstrm ('Dear John', 'Chocolat'), the film stars Madelyn Cline and KJ Apa in a journey of self-discovery, spontaneity, and unexpected connection - set against a postcard-perfect backdrop of Europe.advertisementPrime Video revealed the trailer of the upcoming romantic drama recently. Adapted from JP Monninger's bestselling novel, the story follows Heather (Cline), a meticulous recent graduate armed with a colour-coded itinerary, and Jack (Apa), a charming drifter retracing his grandfather's footsteps through a weathered travel journal. Their paths cross by chance, but the ripple effect is anything but accidental.In one moment, Heather tells her friends, 'I'm almost done with this itinerary,' but Jack's unfiltered philosophy—'I'm trying to go to every place he wrote about to just see what happens' - nudges her out of her comfort zone. From the thrill of Spain's bull runs to the calm of French lavender fields, Heather learns to lean into chaos, her transformation unfolding as Jack asks, 'What if you didn't take your flight home?'
The story is tender, but not without tension. As Heather prepares to fly back to New York, she confesses, "The thought of being a continent away from you is unbearable. Or is that just me?', which hits the aching heart of the film.Watch the trailer here: Produced by Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey ('The Fault in Our Stars', 'Love, Simon'), the film also features Sofia Wylie, Madison Thompson, and Josh Lucas. With Hallstrom's signature emotional touch and a love story set to the rhythm of European summer, The Map That Leads To You promises to be a deeply felt ride through love, loss, and the thrill of the unknown.- Ends

Let's try that again, shall we?: Simran Mangharam on the double-standards in online dating

The Netflix film Aap Jaisa Koi, starring R Madhavan and directed by Vivek Soni, does more than tackle bias against the unwed. It also explores, rather interestingly, the challenges faced by women in the dating world today. The story follows Shrirenu Tripathi, a middle-aged Sanskrit professor, who falls in love with Madhu Bose, a teacher of French. Their seemingly traditional, serendipitous romance takes an unexpected turn when he learns that their 'arranged-love' match was actually initiated by Bose after she found him on an app for lonely people. This unsettles Tripathi because he has already embraced the many ways in which her outlook is different from his. The idea that she used this app is, to him, a step too far. The irony, of course, is that he was on the app too. Looking to connect with a woman. Perhaps, as with so many men in the real world, he was hoping to find that one true pearl who would blush in horror at the idea of such a platform, plead with her brother not to make her go on this 'date', and eventually confess that she knew nothing about it all; some well-meaning friend must have signed her up. Good lord, when we are going to grow up about this? In the film, this confounding contradiction of a man on an app upset that the women he loves was on it too is explored with subtlety and nuance. In the real world, things can go far less smoothly. I have had numerous woman clients complain that, even though many men are looking for long-term partners on these platforms, their first assumption is that any woman on a dating app is promiscuous. As a result, a man will often pop up in the chat window of a woman he barely knows, to ask if she is interested in having sex. This can happen to a single woman user over and over in the same week. Those who don't start out with such questions often have other intrusive ones to pose on a first date. 'Why are you on a dating app?' 'How come you're still single?' 'How many 'dates' do you go on?' These inquiries feel aggressive and insulting, women say. When this happens often enough, it can become difficult not to internalise a sense of being at-fault. Some start to justify themselves with answers like 'A friend signed me up on the app' or 'I'm actually a very traditional person'. I generally offer a piece of advice at this point, and it is simply this: Stop it. You have no chance of building the future you want with a man who treats women in this way. What you do have a chance of doing is shifting the narrative, at least a little. I know it is unfair and no one should ask this of you, but you are the vanguards of a new phase in this struggle. Push back and it might be possible to force a certain kind of man to finally acknowledge the absurdity of what he is doing. Do not hesitate. Do not explain. Simply demand answers to the questions you have been asked. Perhaps on his next date, he will hesitate. Perhaps he will eventually ask himself why he treats potential partners in this way. At the very least, you will have activated a new filter for yourself: men who quickly shift to a more balanced, respectful conversation are the ones genuinely worth considering. In the film, Bose challenges the absurdity and inherent double-standard that makes Tripathi so surly about how they found each other. In his case, he is willing to reflect, adapt and evolve. And what human hasn't had some evolving to do? Often, it happens in the face of an unmoving challenge. As with Tripathi, something goes terribly awry and you take a step back and think: 'Well, clearly I did that wrong. Let me see if I can do better.' And you do. It really can be that simple.

Astronomer makes ex-wife of Coldplay's Chris Martin spokesperson to send a message to everyone on Internet; says: Thank you for your interest in Astronomer; OMG ...

Gwyneth Paltrow joins Astronomer In a surprising move, the AI startup — Astronomer has announced that Oscar winning actress and ex-wife of Coldplay frontman Chris Martin — Gwyneth Paltrow is the new spokesperson of the company. The company took this decision days after the viral 'Kiss cam' moment. Recently, Astronomer's former CEO Andy Byron and HR Head Kristin Cabot were caught in 'Kiss Cam' moment at the viral recent Coldplay concert in Boston. The company made this announcement by sharing a dramatic promo video on social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter). Astronomer taps Gwyneth Paltrow as company's spokesperson Astronomer shared a humours video on X which features Paltrow addressing the camera with a remarkably straight face. In the video she can seen introducing herself as being hired on a 'very temporary basis' to represent Astronomer and answer some common questions. 'Thank you for your interest in Astronomer. OMG,' reads the caption. Paltrow pivots to promoting the company's latest data and AI products and an upcoming "Beyond Analytics" data conference in September. The video concludes with Paltrow delivering a deadpan, "Thank you for your interest in Astronomer," a phrase that has quickly become a talking point, resonating with the internet's collective "OMG" reaction to the sheer audacity and cleverness of the campaign. What is the viral 'Kiss Cam' controversy During the recent Coldplay concert in Boston a 'Kiss Cam' moment involving Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR chief Kristin Cabot went viral. The couple after being captured by the camera looked startled, with Cabot turning away and Byron ducking. Coldplay frontman Chris Martin also said jokingly, 'Either they're having an affair, or they're just very shy.' The clip soon went viral and garnered millions of views. Days after the controversy, Astronomer then CEO Andy Byron resigned from his position and earlier this week Cabot also stepped down from her position of company's HR head.
