For standard C-41 colour negative rolls dropped off in-store, our target is 1 hour from the moment we start processing. On a busy Saturday with a queue ahead of you, it may take up to 2 hours — we'll always tell you the honest ETA at the counter.

Rolls sent by courier from outside Mumbai are typically processed and shipped back the same or next working day after we receive them.

Our 1-hour service covers all standard C-41 colour negative rolls — Kodak Gold, ColorPlus, Portra, Ultramax, Fujifilm C200/400, Superia, Lomography 400, and any other C-41 film in 35mm format.

For black & white, slide (E-6), medium format 120, or respooled cine film (ECN-2), we do accept them — but turnaround and pricing differ. Please call ahead before dropping off.

Because film prices and processing costs move around a bit, we don't lock in a single number on the website — but our walk-in developing package (with free 5x7" print + free scanning) is deliberately kept competitive with, and usually below, Mumbai mail-in labs.

Call 88796 18517 or WhatsApp us with a photo of your roll and we'll quote you the exact price in seconds.

Every developed roll includes a complimentary digital soft copy of every frame — perfect for sharing on Instagram, printing later, or simply backing up. We deliver them by WhatsApp, Google Drive link or on a pen-drive (bring one, or buy one at the counter).

Need higher-resolution TIFF scans for editing or big prints? We offer premium scanning as a paid upgrade — ask at the counter.

Yes, always. Your original negatives are cleanly cut into strips, placed in an archival sleeve, and returned with your order. They're yours — keep them safely and you can re-print from them any time in the future.

Absolutely. Customers across Maharashtra and pan-India send us their rolls by courier every week. Pack them well in bubble wrap or a small padded box, add a note with your name, phone number and email inside the parcel, and ship to the address at the bottom of this page.

Message us on WhatsApp 88796 18517 before shipping so we can look out for your parcel and confirm receipt.

Yes — we've developed rolls that were sitting in fridges (and shoeboxes) for 5, 10, even 20+ years. Older film may show shifted colours, extra grain or a hazy base, which is often part of its charm. Tell us the approximate age when you drop off; we may recommend a small push-process for very old rolls to bring back detail.

Every roll is important to someone, and that's the mindset we work with. If you're bringing in a wedding roll, a shot-once-in-a-lifetime family event, or a professional job — mention it at the counter. We'll process it in a fresh chemistry batch and do an additional quality-check on the scans before handing it back.

Yes — Colo is a full personalised-photo brand. Once your roll is scanned, you can order enlargements, canvas prints, photo frames, magnets, mugs, and full photo albums directly from us. Ask at the counter or explore our collections.

Blank frames almost always come from the camera side — lens cap on, shutter not tripped, film not advancing, or the roll was never actually exposed. We inspect every roll during processing and will show you exactly what we developed. If we ever make a lab-side error, we'll own it and make it right.
