ABOUT salim khan
Salim Khan: Architect of Bollywood's Golden Age Salim Abdul Rashid Khan (born November 24, 1935), a towering figure in Hindi cinema, achieved legendary status as a screenwriter, producer, and scriptwriter. He formed the iconic Salim-Javed duo with Javed Akhtar, revolutionizing Bollywood in the 1970s. Their collaboration, marked by Salim Khan's narrative prowess and Javed Akhtar's sharp dialogues, redefined the Bollywood blockbuster, pioneering the masala film and the Dacoit Western genres. Salim Khan's contribution extended beyond plotlines; he is credited with shaping Amitabh Bachchan's "angry young man" persona, a defining image of Hindi cinema. Their films, including Sholay (1975), Seeta Aur Geeta (1972), Zanjeer (1973), Deewaar (1975), Trishul (1978), and Kranti (1981), remain cinematic milestones, with Sholay holding the record for highest-grossing Indian film of its time. The enduring legacy of Salim-Javed’s work is undeniable, their impact shaping the landscape of Hindi film for generations. Beyond his professional achievements, Salim Khan is also known for his family, notably his sons Salman, Sohail, and Arbaaz Khan - all prominent figures in Bollywood. Recipient of six Filmfare Awards (as part of Salim-Javed) and the Padma Shri in 2014, Salim Khan's contributions solidify his place as a cornerstone of Indian cinema's golden era.
