Author, poet, lyricist, screenwriter, film director, family man, and winner of every prestigious national and international award for his vast body of work—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 made more interesting because of some rare photographs interspersed with the text, Dhoop Aane Do covers his life and career, traversing several eras, thus promising to bring to the reader several unknown facets of Gulzar. It will be an unmissable addition to the treasure trove of books by this literary and cinema legend.

Poet, author, lyricist, film-maker, screenplay and dialogue writer, Gulzar is one of the towering figures of Indian cinema, culture and literature. Born in Dina (now in Pakistan), his career in cinema took off as an assistant to film-maker Bimal Roy. Apart from being a film-maker with a difference, he is undoubtedly one of the finest lyricists of Hindi cinema. A stalwart of Indian literature and one of the finest poets in Urdu/ Hindustani, he has a number of poetry and short-story collections to his credit. He has also recently published two volumes of his translations of Rabindranath Tagore's poems, Baaghbaan and Nindiya Chor. He is also one of the finest writers for children in the country. He is a recipient of the Sahitya Akademi Award and the Padma Bhushan. In 2008, he was awarded an Oscar for his song 'Jai ho' in Slumdog Millionaire. He received the Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 2014. Rakhshanda Jalil is a writer, critic and literary historian. She has published over fifteen books and written over fifty academic papers and essays. She runs an organization called Hindustani Awaaz, devoted to the popularization of Hindi-Urdu literature and culture. Her recent books include a translation of fifteen short stories by Intizar Husain entitled The Death of Sheherzad (HarperCollins, 2014) and The Sea Lies Ahead, a translation of Intizar Husain's seminal novel (HarperCollins, 2015).
