Author, poet, lyricist, screenwriter, film director, family man, and winner of every prestigious national and international award—from the Jnanpith to the Oscar, there isn’t much territory left uncharted by Gulzar. Dhoop Aane Do, in a way, can be considered his autobiography in that it is replete with anecdotes, travel notes, real-life experiences and events that occurred in and shaped his life. The book contains pages plucked from his memories and will take the reader back in time, to his growing-up years, his personal and professional struggles and successes in Mumbai, the experiences he faced during Partition, the different people he met while making films, how the Covid lockdowns affected him, etc. There is poetry too, which underlines the versatility of the author.
A deeply personal account of a life well lived, this book covers Gulzar’s life and career, traversing several eras. It promises to bring to the reader facets of Gulzar never explored before, and will be an unmissable addition to the treasure trove of books by this literary and cinema legend.
