Angry Young Men(2024)

Angry Young Men is a documentary series about Salim-Javed, the legendary screenwriting duo who defined 1970s Hindi cinema. Together, Khan and Akhtar created the Angry Young Man archetype—a brooding anti-hero whose rage and defiance resonated across the nation. As outsiders to the industry, they challenged conventions and demanded writers be recognized alongside stars. Their partnership produced some of Indian cinema's most iconic films, yet their eventual split became one of Bollywood's most talked-about rifts. The series offers a candid look at their creative process, personal lives, and enduring influence on Indian film. No collaboration of comparable cultural impact has emerged since their separation, cementing their legacy as transformative figures in cinema history.
