Deepa Bhatia is a Bollywood film editor, producer and director based in Mumbai. She is known for editing commercially successful films like Tare Zameen Par, My Name is Khan, Rock On, Kai Po Che, Student of the Year and Raees.[1] Furthermore, she has also edited Kedarnath, Drive and the much talked about biopic on Sachin Tendulkar, Sachin: A Billion Dreams.[2]

Deepa believes that editing is making something the best it can be.[3] In her own words, "A movie is written thrice. Once, when it is written, the second, when it is directed, and the third, when it is edited. It is unfortunate that editors don't get their due. It frustrates me when people think cutting is editing."[4]

In 2010, UTV World Movies chose her as the personality of the month to pick four movies of her choice from the channel's collection. The movies she picked were Machuca, Cousin Cousine, Twin Sisters and 8 Women.[4]

Career

Deepa started her career by assisting directors before venturing into full-time into post-production. She has over 20 years of experience as an editor and has worked with directors like Govind Nihalani (Dev, Hazaar Chaurasi Ki Maa, Deham) and Jahnu Barua (Maine Gandhi Ko Nahi Mara, Har Pall).[5] Her editing work on films like Kai Po Che and Rock On has been one of her most noteworthy projects and has bagged her awards like the Star Screen Awards.[6]

Apart from her career as a film editor in Bollywood, she has also directed and produced a critically acclaimed documentary titled Nero’s Guests: The Age of Inequality about farmer suicides in Maharashtra.[7] The documentary won two awards at Mumbai International Film Festival (MIFF).[8] It took Deepa 5 years to direct and a year to edit this challenging documentary.[2]
