Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s Toofaan starring Farhan Akhtar in the lead role was all set to hit the big screens in September last year. But, due to the pandemic, the release date was postponed, and a few days ago, there were reports that the film will get a direct-to-digital release on Amazon Prime Video.


Well, the reports have turned out to be true, and today, the OTT platform took to Instagram to announce the release date of Toofaan.

They posted, “weather forecast for this summer: an epic blockbuster - #ToofaanOnPrime. teaser will be dropping on march 12. World premiere, May 21. @excelmovies @romppictures @faroutakhtar @mrunalofficial2016 #PareshRawal @hussain.dalal @ritesh_sid @rakeyshommehra @vjymaurya @ozajay @shankarehsaanloy @zeemusiccompany #JavedAkhtar #AnjumRajabali @kassimjagmagia @vishalrr.”

Toofaan will start streaming on Amazon Prime Video on 21st May 2021, and the teaser of the movie will be released on 12th March 2021. Apart from Farhan, the film also stars Mrunal Thakur and Paresh Rawal.

It is Akhtar and Mehra’s second film together. The two have earlier worked together in the movie Bhaag Milkha Bhaag which was a super hit at the box office and it had also got thumbs up from the critics. The expectations from Toofaan are quite high and let’s hope that the film lives up to the expectations.

Communal tables make a comeback among Gen Z

Communal tables are back – and Gen Z is leading the way

Highlights:

  • Communal dining tables are becoming popular again, especially among Gen Z.
  • Surveys show younger diners enjoy meeting strangers, while many older diners prefer privacy.
  • Shared tables help tackle loneliness and encourage real-life conversation in a digital age.
  • Restaurants are adapting with supper clubs, shared platters and “come alone” nights.
  • The trend reflects a wider shift toward connection, experience and affordable social dining.

Walk into a place to eat and there is just one huge table. Everyone there is a stranger, talking, laughing, passing bowls around like they already know each other. For some older diners, the setup feels odd. It can come across as too open, almost like someone stepping into your personal space. But younger diners see it differently. For Gen Z, that setup is the fun part, the chance that the person next to you might turn into a friend, or at least a good conversation.

A 2025 Resy survey shows a clear generational split: 90% of Gen Z enjoy communal tables, compared with 60% of Baby Boomers. Beyond numbers, the social benefits are real; making friends, striking up conversations, even finding a date. For a generation often described as “the loneliest,” dining together offers a rare sense of connection.
