Established in 1965 by Master M. N. Rao, M N Rao - Truly Bespoke, a pure luxury Bespoke tailoring house certified by the Savile Row Academy, has been part of Mumbai's tailoring story for six decades. From master cutters and handwritten measurement books to changing wardrobes and new generations of customers, the way people dress has evolved dramatically.

The film celebrates 60 years of MN Rao Truly Bespoke.
