In an interview that I now struggle to remember, a filmmaker says, "On the edit table, a movie is made for the second time". That is the importance of the craft and people who pursue it. With that as context, we look at Netflix's latest 'Amar Singh Chamkila'. The movie made me go through several feelings - some scenes made me smile, some made me cry and some were simply eye-opening. The film had a brilliant star cast and music album, but the one thing that stood out to me was its masterful editing. From showcasing the 1984 riots through a song to depicting the protagonists as comic characters to add a dash of amusement in some scenes, the editing made the movie what it is - a cinematic gem - and, the person behind this is Aarti Bajaj. #SWEditDesk @aaliyahjainx
