Full Meals

In the vibrant, chaotic city of New Delhi, Arjun Mehra is a man with a lens for capturing love but a life starved of it. A struggling wedding photographer, he spends his days immortalizing the grand, colorful spectacles of other people’s unions while his own ambitions languish in the shadows. Arjun’s passion isn't just for taking pictures; it’s for capturing the raw, unscripted moments of human connection—the stolen glance, the trembling hand, the tear that escapes a father’s eye. He dreams of creating a revolutionary photo-book, "Full Meals," a project that aims to document the entire, complex feast of a relationship, from the sweet appetizers of new love to the bitter aftertaste of heartbreak. His motivation is twofold: to prove his artistic worth to a dismissive industry and, more profoundly, to himself. Living under the quiet disappointment of his traditional parents, who see his career as an unstable hobby, Arjun is driven by a desperate need to validate his life’s choices. His big break seems to arrive when he is hired for the high-profile wedding of a celebrity industrialist's daughter. This is his chance to secure the funding and exposure for "Full Meals." However, the path to passion is never a straight line. While navigating the opulent yet emotionally charged pre-wedding events, Arjun’s life becomes entangled with two pivotal figures. The first is Riya, the bride's sharp-witted and fiercely independent cousin. Drawn to Arjun’s quiet intensity and unique perspective, she becomes an unexpected confidante and a source of magnetic attraction. Their connection blossoms amidst the wedding chaos, offering Arjun a taste of the genuine intimacy he so often photographs from the outside. Simultaneously, he finds himself in a professional and personal tug-of-war with the bride's powerful father, Mr. Malhotra, a man who values polished perfection over authentic emotion. As Arjun strives to capture the true spirit of the celebration, he clashes with Mr. Malhotra’s controlled vision, putting his career-making opportunity in jeopardy. "Full Meals" is a heartfelt journey through the lens of a dreamer. Arjun is forced to navigate the delicate balance between his professional integrity and the compromises required for success, all while his burgeoning relationship with Riya threatens to upend his carefully guarded heart. The film beautifully explores whether Arjun can successfully frame his own life, finding a way to blend his passion for art with the courage to embrace love, ultimately proving that the most fulfilling picture is one where the photographer is no longer just an observer, but a vital part of the scene.
