A popular movie usually helps an actor or director become more well-known. However, in the past 20 years, there has barely been a single instance when a writer has achieved superstar status. However, if we travel back in time to the 1970s and 1980s, two names come to mind: salim khan and Javed Akhtar. Through the creation of 22 successful films, these authors were able to establish themselves as household names. For anyone who are unfamiliar with them, the documentary series Angry Young Men is now available to view on amazon Prime Video.
 
Angry Young Men takes us inside the world of Salim-Javed, which is quite different from the authors that work in the modern cinema industry. The show consists of three episodes, each with an approximate length of forty minutes. Nobody will ever forget the moment when amitabh Bachchan's work with the writing pair altered the course of his fame. Then there's Sholay, a movie that went on to become a cult classic and, in a way, has come to represent India.
 
The way a hero was portrayed on screen was one of the main reasons Salim-Javed's movies were regarded as unique. In a movie where the main character plays a quiet role or when the plot revolves around the two characters' love relationship succeeding in the end, the same thing would not be feasible. Aside from this, the reaction of the crowd away from the large screen was something that would never occur again. people used to stand outside ticket windows all day to pay and see their favorite star, but now days theaters are mostly empty and there is scarcely anyone in line to get a ticket.
 
Famous faces like jaya bachchan and hema malini also became more well-known as a result of Salim-Javed's flicks. However, there are still many things that the general public is unaware of, such as Salim Khan's brief acting career. The documentary serves as a valuable resource for today's filmmakers. bollywood has had a difficult year in 2024, and this documentary is the only chance the filmmakers have to turn around and restore the lost grandeur of hindi cinema.
