How Streaming Changed The Editing Game with Editors Antara Lahiri and Nitin Baid
Is 2024 an exciting time to be a film editor? Going by the sheer volume of theatrical streaming releases, you'd think so.
To break it down, I spoke to two of the busiest editors in town. In 2023 alone, prolific editor Nitin Baid had Sam Bahadur, Rocky Rani Ki Prem Kahaani, The Archies and Kho Gaye Hum Kahaan. Not to mention shows like Dahaad and Made In Heaven Season 2.
Antara Lahiri is known for projects like Tooth Pari, Delhi Crime Season 2, Shakuntala Devi, Four More Shots Please and one of my favourites. Modern Love Mumbai.
Aside from being an accomplished editor, Antara also runs an excellent YouTube channel called The Finest Cut With Antara Lahiri where she hosts insightful conversations with some of the finest editors in the business. It's highly recommended viewing.
Together, the two spoke to me whether editors get their due, the most insane feedback they've got from platforms, the issues with how editors are paid and how much of their time goes into salvaging shoddy storytelling
