Angry Young Men review: superficial Salim–Javed doc will annoy fans

#AngryYoungMen, the three-part documentary about writers Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar’s partnership, is a massive missed opportunity.

We discuss the show’s cagey approach to its legendary subjects, the overwhelming feeling of self-satisfaction, and the unearned points it tries to score for highlighting the plight of writers in the film business.

We also discuss the superficial filmmaking, the lack of insight provided by everybody involved, and more than anything else, express our shock at the creative decision not to put Salim-Javed in the same room together.
