The documentary Angry Young Men was released on Amazon Prime Video today, that is, August 20, and it educates viewers about some fascinating trivia. It is about the glorious career of Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar, who were known as Salim-Javed and how they changed the course of Indian cinema. A documentary on them would be incomplete if it didn’t focus on their split, which shocked and saddened the industry as well as fans. It also consists of interviews with their family members and the bond they shared with each other.

Farhan Akhtar spoke about Salim Khan’s children, “All my memories (of childhood) hugely involved spending time, especially with Sohail and Alvira. Salman and Arbaaz were older than I was. So, as much as I wanted to hang out with them, I don't think they wanted to hang out with me (laughs). I was like a proper kid-kid, like, just running around doing stupid things like eating grass (laughs)!”

Salman Khan said, “It was like everyone was like family. Anyone could go to anyone's house. I taught Farhan and Zoya how to cycle.”

Farhan Akhtar’s filmmaker sister Zoya Akhtar remembered this bicycle episode, “I was just kind of struggling and I remember Salman was like, 'Just go for it. Nothing is going to happen. You'll fall. Then you'll get up and you'll go again'. And it's something that stays, you know.”

Farhan Akhtar also opened up on what happened after the split took place, “To a certain degree, I mean, of course, it did have an effect because you realize that something is not the same. But, at no point did I ever feel like I can't go there.”

An interesting aspect of the documentary was Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar, along with others, revealing interesting trivia about writing two of their most accomplished works, Sholay and Deewaar. Incidentally, both were released in the same year.

Bombay High Court orders stays the release of Hamare Baarah, two days before the film’s release June 07, 2024 at 01:02PM

By Banglore Film City
Hamare Baarah, which is making news for its bold approach and thought-provoking plotline, has been mired in controversy, with the makers landing in deep trouble. The highly anticipated release of Annu Kapoor, Manoj Joshi, and Paritosh Tripathi starrer, has encountered a significant setback as the Bombay High Court has issued a stay on its release just two days before its scheduled release on June 7, extending the hold until June 14. This unexpected turn of events has impacted the premiere of the film which was expected to be held this week, leaving makers in an uncertain dilemma. The legal obstacle arises from a petition filed by activists from a specific religious community at the Mumbai High Court, opposing the film's release. Producers Birender Bhagat and Ravi S Gupta have raised serious concerns regarding the imposition of the stay, especially given that the film had already obtained a censor certificate. In a recent statement given to NDTV, Mr Bhagat explained their predicame...
