Two Tales of My Times - An English Book - by Gulzar
Two Tales of My Times
Two Tales of My Times, presents for the first ever time, two of
GULZAR’s most thought-Provoking and hard-hitting film
scripts,
New Delhi Times and Maachis, in the form of a narrative. The scripts
have been presented in the form of a story, but without delineating
from the original films.
New Delhi Times takes an in-depth look at the politically corrupt
system that permeates the lives of ordinary people, who in many ways
are unable to deal with it. Maachis, on the other hand, is placed in
the terrorism that corroded Punjab in the aftermath of the
assassination of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in 1984. The
terrorism that was unleashed in the state, took in its fold, many young
boys and girls, some of whom were too young to comprehend their mission.
Gulzar, the director, extraordinaire, and writer, who is known both for
his sensitivity and simplicity, received much critical acclaim for both
the films.
