Nikhil Parihar

Nikhil Parihar is a Mumbai-based film editor and a graduate of the Satyajit Ray Film & Television Institute, Kolkata. His work on Rangbaaz: Darr Ki Rajneeti earned an OTT Filmfare nomination for Best Editing, and Fire in the Mountains, which he associate-edited, premiered at the Sundance Film Festival.

His credits span Netflix, Zee5, JioHotstar and SonyLIV — most recently the theatrical feature Baby Do Die Do, directed by Nachiket Samant and starring Huma Qureshi. Alongside the cutting room, he builds AI-generated films shot by shot, working at the frontier where craft meets the new.

“I chase the new with a child’s curiosity — and cut with a grandfather’s restraint.”
