While the final look translated into a really cozy setting, nuzzled with literature; tinted by browns, whites and greys, it really wasn’t what we had envisioned at first. But as stories were lived, makeup was shared, and wardrobe malfunctions were fixed, an effortless comfort wrapped the day.
Hospitality Serves Elegance
The | 1,00,000 | Story
When their venue decided their photos would run to a lakh, they decided their “vibe would lead the way” (and also, save their pockets). The goal to let their energy speak through the frame was actualised when they didn't just serve food, but looks.
Admin’s Detectives
Graveyards? Wedding Gatecrashers? Brooklyn Nine-Nine!
What started out as a way to incorporate their out-of-town OG, ended up in an entire investigation. Embellished with footprints, maps, suspects and CCTV footage, they stole the show, pinning stories and suspense with the widest smiles.
Money Talks.
Paypal Mafia | Money Guns | Hustle Bustle
After ideas that could possibly (most definitely) land them in the suspect list (FnD’s for sure), the finalisation for the venue of Ballard Estate came as a ray of hope. Can you believe the luck of our Finance department? No bus arriving at a BUS STOP for 3 hours straight! Hope this luck flows to the rest of our departments in a different form.
D ‘n’ M Subway “Sufferers”
Decked | Melting Heat | Skating Boards
They went all out—from resembling the game characters to handling the मुंबई heat in costumes. All the classic props, and backgrounds were set — and so was a dog but unfortunately, it left before being clicked. Bandra’s Skater Park was truly coloured with DnM’s nostalgic touch that day.

“A candid moment turned iconic.” That was the goal. A perfect summer day, matching the pinks and the moods. Picking kala ghoda as their canvas, they decided to decorate it with their approachable aura, welcoming culture and authentic energy.
Zero-Based Marketing
Poker chips | Pool tables | Planning, what's that?
The marketing team’s photoshoot may have come together last minute, but the result was pure energy. The pool table being the best thing in comparison to the actual casino was a stroke of genius. The photo they landed on gave off the perfect ‘don’t mess with us’ vibe, which was exactly what they wanted.
(P)arty (R)egulars
White Outfits | Forgotten Umbrellas | No Cabs
From दादर Chowpatty to a Rs. 1,300 water bottle, they saw it all. They might have taken 10 days to figure out the bill, but their spontaneity knew no bounds: even though the rains foiled their plans 3 hours before the shoot, they came to party— and that’s exactly what they did!
“Malhar’s Workers”
Denims | Dedication | South Indian Breakfast
Honouring the origin of jeans, Assistance chose to clad themselves in style. From finding potential in a standstill shot amongst a crowded local train to a basketball court jamboree to a paintball session, to finally having a road roller in their shoot, they owned it with “minimum chaos and maximum flair.”
मुंबई दर्शन of FnD
Interactions | Setups | Ecstasy
“When you see that joy, when they pose for the camera... That brings you joy, because well, if you can't make them smile, at least your camera can.” And that’s what they have been doing the whole of last month.
Ideating, scouting locations, welding together visions from scattered Pinterest boards, and directing poses, props and placements. They have hauled their equipment in the pouring rain, edited through nights, captured every little BTS moment—you name it, FnD’s done it!
But that’s the best part of being in FnD: they get to interact with every department and stitch together every little piece of this fest into a visual, capturing everything with their unwavering dedication.
Looking as crisp and sharp as the photoshoots they pulled off, presenting the creators behind the cameras:
Can’t give enough shoutouts to FnD, but here’s one; Thank you for the fun, frolic and capturing us the way you did!
At the end of the day, every moment, every colour, every smile and every department photo came together to give their shade to the greater picture that is Malhar. No matter the department, the role, or the madness, we’re all pieces of the same unstoppable puzzle. And together? We make the picture impossible to miss. Just like Malhar.
