Salim Javed the first star scriptwriters in Bollywood

 



Salim–Javed, the most successful scriptwriters of all-time. They also achieved the 1st star scriptwriter’s recognition in Hindi film industry. They together created a great popularity for the writer’s role in Bollywood. After their names appeared, industry’s writers name started to be covered in film’s title and poster’s.  

Starting in the 1970s, Bollywood had no concept of given credits to the writers of screenplay, story and dialogues. Even there have no record to having the same writers for the screenplay and story. Actor and director RajeshKhanna was the first person who was gave Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar the first chance to become the screenplay writers in the movie Haathi Mere Saathi.

After that, they never looked back. During 1971 to 1987, they worked together almost in 24 films out of which 20 were commercially and critically successful. Their films Sholay (1975), Seeta Aur Geeta (1972), Zanjeer (1973), Deewaar (1975), Kranti (1981) and Don also listed in highest-grossing films in Indian cinema of all time. Even sholay (1975) was considered to be the greatest Hindi cinema of all time.  

During their together working time, they were nominated for ten times and won six Filmfare Awards. As screenwriters they worked 22 Bollywood films and 2 Kannada films.

At that time, Salim Khan was mostly working with the stories and Javed Akhter was writing the films dialogues. Many dialogues from their films became famous. In 1982, they decided to work separately. After that, Zamana (1985) and Mr. India (1987) those two films released which were written by Salim–Javed.

After the spilt, Salim Khan not involved in so many film projects. He wrote about 10 scripts in films. Including his son’s Salman Khan’s acting films.

On the other hand, Javed Akhter started to working with his children’s producing films Farhan Akhtar and Zoya Akhtar's with Excel Entertainment. In the movie Silsila in 1981, Javed Akhter was started his lyrics writing career. After that, he wrote over 80 film’s lyrics and 20 films scripts still now.

I think, Salim–Javed spilt was a great loss for Hindi film industry.

I personally liked Javed Akhter’s writing very much. I don’t good in Hindi and Urdu language, but read his many poems and writing. I respect his thoughts and values which I learned from his poems. From his poems my most favorite is-         

    “Dilon mein tum apni

      Betaabiyan leke chal rahe ho,

      Toh zinda ho tum

      Nazar mein Khwabon ki

      Bijliyaan leke chal rahe ho,

      Toh zinga ho tum.”
