Filmmaker duo Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK, collectively known as Raj & DK, have become synonymous with quirky concepts, dark humour, and genre-bending narratives in Indian cinema. This week, they celebrated a remarkable milestone – 15 years of entertaining audiences with their unique vision. To commemorate this occasion, they took a nostalgic trip down memory lane, sharing their experiences and the inspirations that ignited their filmmaking passion.
Their social media post unveiled a treasure trove of memories. A collage featuring posters from their past and upcoming projects served as a visual timeline, encompassing films like the zom-com Go Goa Gone (2013) and the critically acclaimed social satire Shor in the City (2011). The caption accompanying the post offered a glimpse into their creative process, revealing a lighthearted approach even amidst the serious business of filmmaking. “We debated for a long time... what should we call ourselves? Writers? Directors? Producers? Storytellers? Guerilla something...,” they wrote, finally settling on the all-encompassing title of ‘filmmakers.’
“We started off as Indie filmmakers and blew up all our savings. But we are glad, years later, that we stuck to the stories we always wanted to make, however hardsell they have been. For that we would not take the easy route. For just that, we are proud. And for everything else, we are so very grateful,” the screenwriter-director duo added.
“From dreams to screens, all these years of storytelling, experiences and countless memories have made us who we are! Grateful to all the incredible actors, our talented crews and the amazing audience who made all these years unforgettable. Congratulations for 15 years of Sita R Menon too… our long-term creative partner. Here’s to us! Thank you everyone for 15 incredible years of support and collaboration! ????✨,” Raj & DK concluded.
