Ashwini Chauhdary's Dhoop



After National Awards winning Haryanvi Feature Film 'Laado', Ashwini Chaudhary started his next Hindi Feature film 'Dhoop' - Starring Om Puri, Revahti, Sanjay Suri, Yashpal Sharma, Gopi Desai and other senior actors from Mumbai. Former Miss India Gul Panag is also introduced in 'Dhoop'.

Based on the struggle of Kargil Martyr Mahavir Chakra Captain Anuj Nayyar's (Jat Regiment) Parents the film is written by Kumud Chaudhary. Music is by Lalit Sen (Who also scored music for Laado), lyrics by Nida Fazli and songs are sung by Jagjeet Singh, Hariharan, Asha Bhonsle, Abida Parveen and others. The film is produced by Parth Arora and Saket Behal. Shooting of the film is now on in Delhi and Mumbai. 'Dhoop' will be released in July.
Dhoop is a post-Kargil drama - the story of the parents of this young Captain who lays down his life in the war. Inspired by a real life story, 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 dead soldiers?
It's then that one comes to the twilight zone - the heat of the after math 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 martyr's father - how along with his grieving wife, wages a war against the demons of callousness and apathy of the system. It is a tough battle, but he's got to it 'coz the stakes are too high. His dashing son worshipped the ground he walked on - this father can't let the dead son lose.
Dhoop is all about this emotional interplay of bonding, of attachment and insensitivity, of greed and sacrifice.
