Vijay & Dev were brothers. From Vijay's debut, they were inextricably wound in each film's creative process. They trusted each other implicitly, though they did have their own share of creative conflicts too. In an instance, Goldie's unease about a certain decision was echoed by Dev instinctively, in others they never saw eye to eye. The book explores what ticked for Goldie and Dev. How were creative differences resolved? How did the changing India reflect in their films? Was being brothers an advantage or a disadvantage for them? And finally, what was the unknown, the “X-factor” so to speak, which collided and coalesced between these two extraordinary people?

Known to the world as Goldie, Vijay Anand, the visionary Hindi film director and screenwriter, whose oeuvre includes such respected and successful films as Kala Bazaar, Tere Ghar Ke Saamne, Guide, Teesri Manzil, Jewel Thief, Johny Mera Naam, Tere Mere Sapne, Blackmail and Kora Kagaz, amongst many more, has remained largely uncelebrated. Goldie was one of the few ‘complete’ filmmakers in the Hindi film industry, who had the ability to look beyond stereotypes and help actors re-invent themselves. A rare non-filmy personality in the midst of the otherwise quite filmy industry folks, he always saw himself as a student and an explorer, and is credited with bringing newness and slickness to Hindi cinema. In his prolific career, Goldie directed 17 movies, acted in 19 and wrote over a dozen, many under the family banner—Navketan Films, established in 1949 by his two older brothers, the iconic star-actor Dev Anand, and director Chetan Anand. In Goldie: The Man and His Movies, which is the only published biography of this astoundingly talented filmmaker, Anitaa Padhye, film journalist and author, chronicles the life and times of this maverick artist, as narrated to her by the man himself over many meetings, prior to his sudden demise on 23 February 2004.

Underlying the message throughout the various sections in the book is a heartfelt message of optimism and positivity Compiling them over a __ of years, the poet wishes for the readers to pause, assimilate and most importantly relate to her thoughts, hoping to enable a community of shared dialogue and interaction. For when all else fails, there are words. And in the end, words will set us free.
