Angry Young Men

An exceptional series with such details, very well documented and showcased 70/80's era of movie industry was owned by the writer duo and is very necessary to show the great amount of work done for future generations to learn the significance of the writers in the cinema world

Supper happy to see khan and akhtar families in one frame -even though the kid generations have not worked together they make a good screen presnce. They will make a history if they ever happen to work together

Kudos to the directors and producers for creative content and sprites shared , it felt like it was flowing in one directions and very well captured the success and failures stories for the duo

It will be interesting to see how the next season captures the fallout as it is still a big mystery and with everything going good it will be crucial for cinema lovers to know what actually happened in the past

Loved the bits of family stories and directors stories that gave shape to this documentary.

Looking forward to the next season and hats off to the duo and their era they ruled as it changed the game forever.

There are series, there are movies, and then there are emotions-this documentary rightly falls into the third category. It tells the story of Salim-Javed, a duo that shook the industry for good.

Over the course of three episodes, the documentary chronicles their humble beginnings, their rise to stardom, and their eventual fallout. You'll discover many aspects of their lives that were previously unknown. Their story takes you on a nostalgic journey through the 70s and 80s. Every movie they wrote together is now a cult classic, and there's no doubt that they were, and still are, a force to be reckoned with.

The documentary features interviews with many celebrities and family members who shed light on their lives, drawing you into the narrative and adding authenticity to the series. The conviction they had to tell a story, and the courage to follow their hearts, has brought them to where they are today. The inclusion of their marital lives, which have striking similarities, adds a personal touch to the series.

When Javed Akhtar speaks, you listen and admire his choice of words-he has proven his eloquence time and again through his work. Salim, though rougher around the edges when he speaks, adds a relatable element to the series.

As critics, directors, and stars discuss their body of work, you come to the realization of the legends they truly are. It's true-it's hard to fill their shoes. The Shahenshah of Bollywood continues to entertain us today, in large part thanks to this writing duo. Jaya Bachchan, for a change, appears so grounded and more beautiful than ever in this series. With the inclusion of classic film footage, get ready for goosebumps or a thrill that few series achieve.

The only issue with the series is that you still won't get the exact reason for their fallout. Otherwise, if you love movies-especially Hindi movies-you're in for a treat. It's a must-watch.

Every film buff knew about Salim -Javed , there works etc.

But this documentary goes deep into lives, there thought process of making stories, there history of childhood, divorce etc etc.

Nunaces of there stories, there thinkings, how each character developed and how it affected the whole generation is very well shown.

It's well made and everyone was speaking truth as per there thinking. Everyone tried to be honest and gave there perspective.

I think it's worth the watch and how the greatest story writers of Hindi Cinema has evolved is very well shown.

Though everyone spoke i missed ms Salma's viewpoints.

Salim-Javed is a foundational pillar which defined the stylish 70s as we know it. If are a fan of the duo, you would have already known most of the trivia and background stories covered in the 3-espisode mini series. What stood out for me are the following bits: 1) Yeaterday year footage its makers managed to bring back on screen and description of Salim-Javed's individual struggles before their legendary association happened.

2) The opening credit score capturing the funky 70s music and animation 3) screen time allocated to Sholay & Deewaar, given a total of 3 episodes

What I missed out on: 1) More details on some of their less discussed work. This should have been an 8-episode series with dedicated time given to Kaala Patthar, Don, Shaan, Shakti, and Mr. India.

2) More of Amitabh Bachchan, Shatrughan and Dharmendra footage because that's gold snippets.

3) An episode just on their wild life and parties after they made it big. That aspect was just given a lip service by calling them 'brats' 3) How the other big directors of the time (Prakash Mehra and M Desai) felt about their scripts and why they didn't work more together?

4) How they contributed to making the background music impacting the scenes written by them on camera.

There is much more I wanted to see but hopefully they will release it in parts over next season.

Growing up on a steady diet of Salim-Javed films, it was heartwarming to hear folks talk about stories behind these movies.

While many of the facts were known from other interviews, the docu series does a good job of re-presenting the facts, most being narrated by big names in Hindi Film Industry who themselves have at some point in their careers been inspired by these writers.

Every cinema lover deserves to know the story of this writer duo who at one point got paid as much as the lead star in a big budget movie. Their names alone drew audiences into the theaters. I doubt if such feats will ever be repeated again!
