Memories of days gone by : Favre Leuba watches, Shangrila biscuits and Capstan cigarettes. The movie Bhai Bhai starring Ashok Kumar, Kishore Kumar, Nimmi and Nirupa Roy was released in 1956, so obviously all these photos are from that time period.

If anybody could decipher the name of the movie on the posters, we could have guessed the year in which this was taken. I can only make out "Pooja --- ------"

Could not have been more than 4 - 5 pages in thickness.

The crowd is about 50% of that seen nowadays, but everybody is so well dressed and orderly.

Thanks for the correction - the caption has been updated.

Wow! Marine Lines had covered canopy roof too! How I wish they would have retained it like Bandra, Dadar and Byculla.

Correction - this is Bandra station (station code BA) and NOT Bandra Terminus (station code BDTS) which was built only recently and is devoid of any aesthetic appeal.

Looks so serene! This seems to have been taken from Bhayander "Chowpatti". Sadly, a photo from same location today will show a clutter of this bridge, and two more RCC girder bridges just in front of it.

People hanging out of the doors then too! So it seems the crowd in Mumbai was always one step ahead of the available capacity!

Out of sheer curiosity, I googled for "Ketco", and got one yellow pages link : http://www.dazzleyellowpages.com/Listing-Details/?40628/Electric
