Zoya Akhtar, Namrata Rao on Angry Young Men: 'When Salim-Javed split, there was distance in family'

[@brajroy]

The documentary is not an emotional piece but it made me tear up. A legacy and what a life and how they changed the cinema in the 70's. They were and still are the right kind of brats. It just touched me.

thts quiet interesting to know that JA-SK thought that their inputs of character needed a change if they do it again in todays era. best wishes always for namrata and eagerly waiting for all ZA films

Instead of repeated appearance of Hritik and Karina, there should hv bn more people including Ram Gopal Varma, Gulzar, Anurag Kashyap, Rajnikant, Kamal Hasan, Vishal Bhardwaj, Shekhar Kapur, Subhash Ghai, Aaditya Chopra and some serious film critics & historians. Why no bytes from Alvira and Salma Khan? More from Dharmendra and Shatrughan Sinha. And most importantly, their biggest critic Naseeruddin Shah should have been there. May be in S2, I guess.

800 hours look like a lot of footage. They should release them in the future

Does this guy sound like Rajeev Masand or is he trying to sound like him??

The interviewer did not seem very confident in doing his job

Javed Akhtar looks like Glen quagmire from the family guy in the thumbnail

My Review of ANGRY YOUNG MEN Mr Salim Khan and Mr Javed Aktar both are geniuses in their field. Goes without saying Deewar was their best work. However, if you ask this question to someone who is now in his 50’s will say I watched this movie as a kid keeping in mind Amitabh Bachchan. (Hrithik Roshan was completely faking it). Until I grew up I didn’t know what function does a director does OR a screenplay writer does. For me I’m watching a movie. There was no difference for me Don and Mr Natwarlal both were good. So is Muqadar Ka Sikandar, Naseeb, Satte, Pe Satta or Lawaris. I still don’t know who wrote those movies as at that time a kids used to get engaged with the main hero which was Bachchan. Overall the documentary was below my expectations. On the following counts. a.) I have seen various interviews of Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar interviews on KZbin. They are far more engaging, entertaining and hilarious. You must watch Salim Khan on Kapil Sharma's show. It’s a treat. b.) 2yrs back YRF did the same for Yash Chopra on Netflix. It’s only a tribute by the kids to keep their parents happy in their old age. It is boring after a certain point everyone he saying the same glorified version in different ways. Mere Baap acha hai and all that. c.) There are so many people giving their views like SRK came for a bite etc. Salman Khan hardly spoke anything and he started the show I’m scared of giving this interview. There was hardly any footage of Amitabh, poor Dharmendra hardly spoke wonder why he was even given a 2 bit. There were far more inside stories: Why did Zanjeer was refused by so many of them? The story bought the script from Salim Javed and sold it to Dharmendra who went to Prakash Mehra for him to direct. Soon after Dharmendra promised his sister that he would never work with Prakash Mehra. Hence the search started. There are so many things which I wanted to know like Which movies they did post the split? NAAM, KABZA - Salim Khan and various others didn’t do well BETAAB, ARJUN, DACAIT, MERI JUNG - Javed Akhtar Did they miss each other while writing it? Their last combo hit was MR INDIA. Some public opinions of that time, were the black marketers who became millionaires. The stories of the craftsman or the theatre owners etc would have created much-needed juice. I feel it was created just to keep the 2 old men happy! So all this 4-star etc is simply publicity stunt.
