12th Fail

12th Fail is the story of the triumph of the human spirit over circumstances. The film chronicles the attempts of a man to pass the IAS exams despite not having enough means.

Ruben

Jawan

Jawan boasts of stylised action from the word go. The even pace is important for an action film as it keeps the audience rooted to their sears. The editor made sure of that and more. Also, the film was high on dramatic content and featured SRK in a double role. The crisp editing made the father-son roles look like they were played by two different actors.

Best Editing -

Sandeep Reddy Vanga

Animal

The film is a mishmash of actions, emotions, drama and even comedy. Sandeep Reddy Vanga, who is also the film’s director, was the perfect person to edit it as only he would have understood the mad, mad world of Animal and do full justice to its intricate storyline.

OMG 2

OMG 2 is a sensitive film dealing with how we perceive sexuality and how sex education is important for the young generation. It’s needed deft cutting, so as to bring out the drama of the court case that is the fulcrum of the film and the editor has done full justice to his brief.
