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?

 

Review

Tanuja Chaturvedi has the rare ability of combining the trained cineaste's eye and deep understanding of cinematic language and also be able to analyse films in a social and political context. She proves this admirably in her book on Dev Anand and Goldie Anand. The book is a wonderful, and nuanced, statement on the great teamwork between the brothers as they created their cinema and left behind a history. -- Saeed Mirza

Tanuja really loves the Anand's. It reflects in her writing. This books is a heartfelt homage to Dev Anand and Vijay Anand, their collaboration, intimate conversations and first-hand experiences. A must-read for cinema lovers. -- Rajkumar Hirani

It had to be like a Marquez romance...Tanuja Chaturvedi, Dev Anand and Vijay Anand. It had to be Hum Dono, because I have seen Tanuja for the last thirty-five years constantly, passionately following what the Navketan banner has had to offer India, and it is so beautifully notched in Jewel Thief. Because Jewel Thief is like Hitchcock coming alive in India. The most water-tight, perfect thriller, crime genre, noir film, which Tanuja captures so beautifully in her 18-page tribute to Jewel Thief. Go ahead and grab that jewel! -- Amole Gupte, screenwriter, actor, director, lyricist and painter

Up with the other great director-actor collaborators like Akira Kurosawa & Toshiro Mifune, Federico Fellini & Marcello Mastroianni, Wong Kar-wai & Tony Leung, Vijay & Dev Anand had a distinct edge.
