Editing India’s Official Entry for the 2025 Oscars with Adobe Premiere Pro: Spotlight on “Laapataa Ladies”

"Laapataa Ladies” is an Indian Hindi-language comedy drama, directed by Kiran Rao, that follows the misadventures of two young newly-wed brides who, due to their identical marital veils, are accidentally swapped during a cross-country train ride to their respective in-laws.

Released theatrically in March 2024, “Laapataa Ladies” (translation: Lost Ladies) was praised for its story, screenplay, and cast performances, winning Best Film (Critics' Choice) at the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne and being selected as the Indian entry for the Best International Feature category of the 2025 Oscars.

We spoke to the film’s editor, Jabeen Merchant, about how she used Adobe Premiere Pro to edit the movie — currently streaming on Netflix — and organize the many hours of footage that was shot for it. Trained at the Film & Television Institute of India and based in Mumbai, Merchant is known for her wide experience in the Indian film and TV industry covering more than 25 years. Her work spans mainstream Bollywood, art house cinema, television, web shows, short fiction, and documentary films.
