Hi, I’m Puneet Taneja.
I started film blogging way back in 2008 on Blogger. After years of writing and life’s ups and downs, I have finally migrated to this new digital home, The Cinema Angle.
The Professional Side I am a Computer Science Engineer by degree (Class of 2008) and a Media Buyer by profession. But my true passion has always been the movies.
The “Real” Me I began watching Hindi movies in the late 90s, but I realized my obsession much later in the mid-2000s. I slowly got drawn into Hollywood and World Cinema.
I haven’t seen as many films as most die-hard movie buffs, simply because of my “bad habit”—I tend to take a long time to let go of a movie I love madly. I prefer to sit with it, analyze it, and let it sink in.
My Taste Every now and then, a routine flick is fun to watch (I have many guilty pleasures!). But my priority goes to the Horror genre or anything creative and out-of-the-box. And no, that doesn’t mean I am into “festival” movies—to be honest, they rarely work for me.
I also don’t believe in the word ‘Fan.’ I don’t understand celebrity worship. I enjoy falling in love with characters, not stars.
My All-Time Favourites:
- Rockstar
- Dark (Web Series)
- La La Land
- The Haunting of Hill House
- Dil Se
- The Exorcist
- The Godfather
- Scam 1992
A Note on My Writing My posts are simple. I write to convey how I felt about a movie or a song.
Warning: I almost always write with SPOILERS. I believe in deep analysis, which is impossible without discussing the plot. It is best if you watch the movie first and then come here to discuss.
