    Interesting perspectives, but I wish there were more personal anecdotes from the writers themselves. It felt too detached.

    I found the book to be a bit dry and academic. It’s not a casual read, but it is informative and well-researched.

    A bit slow-paced and repetitive at times. While informative, it could have been more engaging with a stronger narrative flow.

  16. Chhayank Bokolia

    As a Bollywood fan, this was a must-read. The insights into Sholay were particularly interesting. A bit dry in places, but worth it.

  17. Raghvendra Pratap Singh

    Felt more like a collection of academic papers than a biography. A bit dense and hard to get through at times, but informative nonetheless.

  18. Ritik Goyal

    A decent book, but nothing groundbreaking. If you’re new to Salim-Javed, it’s a good starting point. Otherwise, it might feel repetitive.

  19. Name

    While informative, the book lacked the emotional depth I was hoping for. It felt more analytical than celebratory. Decent read overall.
