Rafi, a quiet and unassuming street photographer meets shy Miloni at a tourist sight. He convinces the upper-class girl to pose as his fiancée so that his earthy grandmother, soon to arrive from the countryside, stops pressuring him to get married.

The Lunchbox director Ritesh Batra returns to India for another beautifully shot, sweet-natured and emotionally engaging romance. Photograph features sensitive and delicate performances from the brilliant cast and is simultaneously a love letter to the city of Mumbai.
