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.
