Ideal for readers who treasure Indian literature and cinema, and for fans eager to understand the person behind the work, the book carries a warm, reflective, and inspiring tone that invites both nostalgia and wonder.
In Dhoop Aane Do, Gulzar's autobiography blends memories from his formative years in Mumbai with travel notes and reflections shaped by historical events like the Partition and the COVID lockdowns.
