Puneet Waddan

Puneet Waddan—man, talk about a guy who doesn’t just dabble but dives headfirst into storytelling. He’s got his fingerprints all over some of the most talked-about projects in recent years. You might’ve caught his work in “Article 370” (2024); that film stirred up plenty of chatter, not just for its gutsy take on a hot-button topic, but also for how it peeled back the layers on what goes down behind closed doors in the corridors of power. It’s not every day you get a movie that tries to tackle something that real, right? Then there’s “The Aam Aadmi Family” from 2016. That one’s like sitting down at the dinner table with your own family—every little squabble, every inside joke, every awkward silence. Waddan’s role in bringing those moments to life? Chef’s kiss. He really gets the whole “ordinary people are extraordinary” vibe, making you root for characters who could easily be your neighbors. Let’s not forget “Flames” (2018). Oh boy, teenage drama, first crushes, all that nostalgia packed into one neat series. Again, Waddan shows he’s got range—he can jump from political drama to slice-of-life comedy to coming-of-age romance without missing a beat. It’s honestly wild how he manages to keep things so relatable, no matter the setting. So whether you’re into hard-hitting social commentary or just want to relive the awkward glory days of adolescence, Puneet Waddan’s projects have got something for everybody. Not a one-trick pony, that’s for sure.
