Jakarta, IDN Times - Production house Falcon Pictures has officially released the music video teaser for the song "NDOKASIN," the original soundtrack for the film Warkop DKI: Viralin Dong (2026). The short clip immediately evokes nostalgia through its vintage visuals, absurd humor, and the distinctive comedic energy of the trio Dono, Kasino, and Indro.

More than just a regular music video, this project also marks director Dimas Djay's return to the music video industry after a decade-long hiatus. With a vintage visual style that's intentionally "imperfect," Dimas attempts to recapture the spirit of Warkop DKI in a fresher and more contemporary way.

Dimas explained that the concept for the "Ndokasin" music video arose from his desire to bring the spirit of Warkop DKI into a more modern visual language, without losing their legendary comedic identity.

"I haven't directed a music video in 10 years. The reason I wanted to direct this Ndokasin music video again is because I feel a closeness to Warkop DKI. I've always been a huge fan of Warkop DKI. I've been watching Warkop films since I was little," he said when met in Kuningan, South Jakarta, Saturday (May 23, 2026).

Dimas also explained that the filming process used a vintage camera to create a visual texture that felt like footage from the 1980s. The released teaser shows Desta, Vino G. Bastian, and Tora Sudiro dressed in vintage attire while playing musical instruments in a colorful and humorous setting.

"Initially, it was simply a celebration of Warkop films. I've been watching Warkop films since I was little, and that's what I wanted to convey. This plays on a legacy, so the imagery of Warkop, the jokes of Dono-Kasino-Indro, is what I tried to visualize with all my heart. We shot with an imperfect camera, which is what made the imagery that way," Dimas added.

To enhance the nostalgic atmosphere, Dimas chose Wiladatika Flower Park in Cibubur as the filming location. The location is considered to have historical ties to Warkop DKI, having frequently used it as a filming location for their films.

2. Dimas Djay's Story of Being Forced by Desta to Direct the "Ndokasin" OST

Desta Mahendra turned out to be the person most instrumental in persuading Dimas Djay to return to directing music videos after a long period of focusing on commercials.

"It's been a long time since I directed a music video. He (Dimas Djay) was already idealistic about focusing on commercials. When I persuaded Dimas, he said, 'Des, give me one day to think about it.' The next day he agreed," said Desta.

Desta also didn't hesitate to praise Dimas's directing skills, which he said always succeeds in producing creative visuals and unique details in every scene.

"During filming, I saw the frames, and I thought this guy was so crazy. Not to mention, there are scenes that are genius and showcase Dimas Djayadiningrat's work. For me, he's a genius," Desta affirmed.

Dimas himself admitted that another reason he accepted this project was his friendship and a strong sense of nostalgia for Warkop DKI.

"It's been a long time since I made a music video. It's related to Warkop, and these are my old friends, Vino, Tora, and Desta," Dimas explained.

Although the music video teaser looks lighthearted and full of humorous improvisation, the actual shooting process was quite lengthy. Dimas said the shoot lasted almost a full day, looking for spontaneous moments that felt natural.

"Oh, the shoot was fast. From 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. I was actually looking for a concept, and in the end, I found something universal. It just so happened that the old Warkop members liked singing, so I just looked for singing scenes," Dimas said.

He also discussed a unique scene where a woman fries food with her bare hands. According to Dimas, absurd details like that actually emerged spontaneously on set.

"For example, the person was frying with his hands, just using that and that's what he was frying. That was an ongoing process. During filming, it just happened suddenly. There was a spatula, but it wasn't very fun. The women are all experts at frying," he added.

Not only that, Dimas also touched on the extras who were specifically chosen to feel like people "stuck" in the 80s. Desta was even amazed that Dimas was able to find such authentic facial characters for the video clip.

"The key is that one thing. The jokes aren't too pretentious. So if there's a joke, like the one on the stove where the person is frying, I won't close up on it. I just let the person be disturbed. Eventually, they'll repeat it (ade)."
