==Series summary ==&lt;br /&gt;
The series is divided into three episodes. The first episode, &amp;quot;Origins and Rise,&amp;quot; begins with the early lives of [[Salim Khan]] and [[Javed Akhtar]] when they moved to [[Mumbai]], and struggled to establish themselves in the film industry. Salim Khan came from [[Indore]] with an interest in acting, while Javed Akhtar came from [[Bhopal]] with the aim of becoming a director, beginning as an assistant. The episode explores Salim’s roles as an actor in films such as &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Baraat&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (1960), &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Ramu Dada&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (1961), &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Professor (1962 film)]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, and &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Bachpan&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (1963). He first met Javed on the set of &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Sarhadi Lutera]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (1966), with Salim as one of the stars and Javed as an assistant. After becoming friends, they worked as a [[Ghostwriter|ghostwriting team]], developing the screenplay for &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Adhikar (1971 film)|Adhikar]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (1971). This led to positions with director [[Ramesh Sippy]]&amp;#039;s company in the writing department. The episode then explores the birth of Salim-Javed as a writing team for films such as &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Andaz (1971 film)|Andaz]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Haathi Mere Saathi (1971 film)|Haathi Mere Saathi]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Seeta Aur Geeta]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (1972), and &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Yaadon Ki Baaraat]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (1973). The episode ends with the development of the &amp;quot;angry young man&amp;quot; character (drawn from the difficulties that they experienced in their earlier years). It is embodied as &amp;quot;Vijay&amp;quot; by the actor [[Amitabh Bachchan]] in &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Zanjeer (1973 film)|Zanjeer]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (1973). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The second episode, &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Golden Period&amp;#039;&amp;#039; highlights their rise, as well as that of &amp;quot;the angry young man&amp;quot; films (with Bachchan returning, often as “Vijay”). It highlights the two films that dominated 1975; &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Deewaar]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; and &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Sholay]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, both of which are now considered two of the greatest films in [[Hindi cinema]]. These films reflected reflected the angst and mood of [[History_of_India_(1947–present)#Indian_Emergency|India in the 1970s]], with regard to corruption, inequality, and public frustration. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Deewar&amp;#039;&amp;#039; and &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Sholay&amp;#039;&amp;#039; in particular were released in the same year as [[The Emergency (India)|The Emergency]] in 1975. The episode also examines the popularity of the films &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Trishul (film)|Trishul]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (1978) and &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Shakti (1982 film)|Shakti]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (1982).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The third and final episode, &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Dissolution&amp;#039;&amp;#039; focuses on the films of the late 1970s and early 1980s, and the decline of their partnership. It begins with their first failure, &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Immaan Dharam]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (1977), and then explores the films that followed. Their next film &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Don (1978 film)|Don]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (1978) was a huge success and so was &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Trishul (film)|Trishul]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (1978) and &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Kaala Patthar]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (1979). It concludes with an examination of &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Dostana (1980 film)|Dostana]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (1980) and &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Shaan (1980 film)|Shaan]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (1980). The episode ends with the dissolution of the partnership, with family members and colleagues speaking openly about the reasons behind their split. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The series also looks at how Salim–Javed changed the status of screenwriters in the Hindi film industry, as they were among the first to demand credit and higher pay, which led to better recognition for writers.&lt;br /&gt;

== Production ==&lt;br /&gt;
The series was directed by [[Namrata Rao]], a [[National Film Awards|National Award]]-winning film editor. Although the idea for the documentary came from [[Zoya Akhtar]], she chose not to direct it herself, saying it would be too personal. Rao aimed to maintain objectivity while telling the story of [[Salim–Javed]]. Filming took place over three years, including during the [[COVID-19 pandemic in India|COVID-19 pandemic]]. The team collected more than 800 hours of footage, which was later edited into three episodes with help from editor Geeta Singh. The series was produced by [[Salman Khan Films]], [[Excel Entertainment|Excel Media &amp;amp; Entertainment]] (owned by [[Farhan Akhtar]]), and Tiger Baby (founded by [[Zoya Akhtar]] and [[Reema Kagti]]).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |date= |title=Angry Young Man Trailer Launch |url=https://www.moneycontrol.com/entertainment/angry-young-men-trailer-launch-salman-khan-says-salim-javed-both-put-their-lifes-experiences-into-films-article-12795747.html}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Executive producers include [[Salma Khan]], [[Salman Khan]], [[Farhan Akhtar]], [[Zoya Akhtar]], [[Reema Kagti]], and [[Ritesh Sidhwani]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:1&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
