Dhoop is a post-Kargil drama - a story of the parents of this young Captain
who lays down his life in the war. Inspired by a real life incident, not your
typical war-film, Dhoop is more about the war within. What happens after the
guns and mortars fall silent on the borders, after territories have been won and
claims settled? After the dust has settled over the dead bodies of the once
spirited young soldiers? Its then that one comes to the twilight zone - the heat
of the aftermath. The 'Dhoop' that can be harsh yet turns into a warm cocoon
after the last snow flakes over the mountain peaks have melted away. Dhoop is
about the trial of marty's father, who along with his grieving wife, wages a was
against the demons of callousness and apathy of the system. It is a tough
battle, but he has got to win it as the stakes are too high. His dashing son
worshipped the ground he walked on - and now this father can not let the dead
son lose. Dhoop is all about the emotional interplay of bonding - of attachment
and insensitivity, of greed and sacrifice.
