Indeed. The first part was taken by Kees Renard. As the 8mm film was rather short I added some scenes taken by my late friend Cees André de la Porte about the same time but in 16mm!

Fascinating film..50years ago..central parts of Bombay still looks the same..but there are more cars now.

Based on this video Mumbai hasn't changed much except for the cars (obviously, some parts are more modern now).

thanks for posting. mundane street scenes — people walking, shopping, etc — are so fascinating. love the shot rising up the front of a building, at 0:45.

at 2:57 distinct change in quality (and color) of the film: different camera and/or film?
