This riveting three-part series provides a glimpse into the legendary partnership of Salim-Javed, who revolutionised Hindi cinema in the 1970s.
With candid narration by the duo themselves and anecdotes from industry stalwarts, ‘Angry Young Men’ chronicles how their hard-hitting scripts and the iconic ‘Angry Young Man’ persona they created captured the voice of a generation and left an enduring cultural impact through blockbusters like ‘Sholay’, ‘Deewaar’, ‘Don’ and many more.
Their parting of ways made headlines for many years, and Indian cinema never saw a cultural collaboration as powerful again. This docuseries is a personal and candid account of their lives, their writing, and their legacy.
