That year on Bhonsle adopted the city of Mumbai as the land of his destiny. He started his tutorship under the trained eyes of Editor D.N.Pai at [[Bombay Talkies]] in 1952. After working as an apprentice with Pai for 6 months, he was asked to work at Filmistan as an Assistant Editor. Bhonsle honed his skills for 12 years at [[Filmistan]] and landed his first big assignment as an Independent Editor for [[Raj Khosla]]’s film "Do Raaste" in 1967. He received critical acclaim for his editing technique in this film, and built on this success.
