Viineet Kumar starrer Aadhaar to be screened at Hawaii International Film Festival

Viineet Kumar, who has made a mark with his performances in Bombay Talkies, Mukkabaaz, Gold, and others, will be seen on the big screen in a film titled Aadhaar. The movie is set in 2011 and it revolves around a man in Jharkhand who became the first person to get an Aadhaar card in his village.

The movie was screened at Busan International Film Festival and will be also screened at the Jio MAMI Mumbai Film Festival. And now, it has also been selected for screening at the Hawaii International Film Festival. Aadhaar will be screened under the Spotlight on India category on 16th and 17th November.


The movie received a great response at Busan International Film Festival and talking about it, Viineet said, “I was really surprised with the reaction of the audience towards the film, because somehow, the film is deeply connected with the ground realities of our country, and Indians will easily be able to relate to it. But to see International audience glued to their seats till the end, and understand the nitty-gritties was a heart-warming experience. Even in the question and answer session, their observations were very insightful. Many of them were also keen to know about my preparation for the role since the character is unique.”

Viineet was recently seen in Netflix’s web series Bard of Blood, and will next be seen on the big screen in Saand Ki Aankh which stars Taapsee Pannu and  Bhumi Pednekar in the lead roles. The movie is slated to release on Diwali this year and will also be screened at the MAMI film festival.

Directed by Suman Ghosh, Aadhaar is slated to hit the screens on 6th December 2019.

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.
