Career

Raj & DK's first Hindi feature film, 99, was an original crime-comic-thriller-historical-fiction set in Mumbai and Delhi. The New York Times called it "funny, inventive, refreshing"; Box Office magazine (USA) acclaimed that the film "sets new standards in Hindi cinema!"; and a number of Indian publications gave it four star reviews.[3][4]

Their next, Shor in the City, was the most acclaimed Hindi film of the year. It received glowing reviews from across media publications. The film was also made at a micro-budget, making it profitable even before the film's release. The film was also selected to various high-profile film festivals across the world.[5]

Several years later, they came back with Go Goa Gone, which was a clutter-breaking film that introduced to India the first of its kind of a genre-bending film - a stoner/slacker comedy combined with horror and comedy. It became a cult film, especially among the younger audience.[6]
