As the Kargil war raged on between the nations of India and Pakistan, a young army father continuously wrote to his daughter in hopes of rejoining with her post this experience.
Set mostly in the gusty streets of the Indian capital, Dear Daughter is a journey from realisation to redemption. As a teenage boy matures into an army man, he is forced to face the demons of society and protect his honour.
Dear Daughter is a compilation of the many letters written from a father to his "orphan" daughter. The only drawback here? He doesn't send these letters to anyone. As the war goes on, only one thought wanders in his mind: Circumstances separated them, but could circumstances bring them back?
Hop on and dive into this sea of memories.
