If you’re a writer or filmmaker who’s always thought in terms of feature films and wants to embark on your first series - where do you start? How do you start thinking in terms of episodes, cold opens, cliff-hangers and seasons?
To break down the art of approaching the beast of a series I spoke to who else but the maximum guys of streaming - Raj and DK. The dynamic duo have churned out one blockbuster show after another. Two seasons of one of our finest shows, The Family Man, Farzi (which is reportedly one of Prime Video’s most watched shows ever). Not to mention Guns and Gulaabs for Netflix.
And that’s not all. Due for release this year is Amazon’s Citadel Honey Bunny starring and also soon to be released is Another series they produced called Gulkanda Tales. I keep joking that Amazon should essentially build a shrine to them at this point. Raj and DK spoke to me about the art of structuring a series, the challenges of tackling a second season, what goes into nailing a great climax and the biggest turn offs they see in other Indian Shows.

The research they did into making shows before starting Family Man blew my mind... esp. how they would watch existing acclaimed shows (including one of my favorites, Homeland) and note down the way those stories progressed and scenes played out -- no different from keeping a literature review journal when reading other papers in one's field as a PhD student (I'd know as a PhD student myself lol). Absolutely incredible! No wonder they're so good at what they do!!! Thank you so much for this conversation, Suchin :)
:)
Why is this such a small channel and why such few views???
These videos deserve a ton more views!!!!
I love Raj n DK!

Great interview
Greatest quote about climax is from movie adaptation robert mckee character saying " wow them at the end.. U had a hit..u can do anything before that.. But woow them at climax.. U got a hit"
Subscribed to this channel based on this superb interview
thankyou sooooo much for making your point about the climax... this used to be my frustration with series too
request - can you please make gulkanda tales available in USA? it doesn't seem to be showing up on my prime account
hey suchin ! just a suggestion
Just add timestamps, it helps
this is a real talk on filmmaking !!!!!
Favorite director duo ❤
Best in the game they are!! 😭
Just finished HOTD. Now time for this! ❤

Bro please tell about dark secret of FC.as we know what they did. But want to hear from your side.
Meanwhile you the reason to follow FC.
This is one of the most fruitful interviews on storytelling of any kind on TH-cam.
:)
They should only work with pros like Bajpayee not nepos like Shaaheed
They should work with good actors doesn't matter he or she is nepos or outsiders
@@iasrahul8428 The point being SK is a mediocre actor
@@DharmendraRaiMindMap hope you see his Haider and udta Punjab performance.
@@iasrahul8428 He is better than Kartikoff Aryanahi but nowhere near Baju Bhai
