To date, dialogues and scenes from their iconic works such as ‘Sholay’, ‘Don’, and ‘Zanjeer’ have been embedded in people`s hearts. Interestingly, the blockbuster pair is now back with a docuseries titled `Angry Young Men`, which covers their rise to the top where they wrote two dozen films together, of which 22 were blockbusters. While we know the ones that received commercial success, here are the ones that unfortunately didn’t.
