[1930s] Bombay (Mumbai): Urban and seaside life

Location: Bombay (now Mumbai), Maharashtra, India
Year: Late 1930s
Film Creator: Olive Morgan
Music: Venkatesananda; Song of Sadhna - Jesse Gallagher (original footage does not have any audio)
Description: This film was taken in India in the late 1930s and contains a mixture of scenes recorded at the seaside and in the city of Bombay (Mumbai). The beach scenes show the Morgans and their friends at leisure, sitting outside beach huts with deckchairs, going into the sea in swimming costumes, and surfing on wooden boards. There are also scenes showing groups of Asian people walking along the shoreline.
Midway through the film, there is an informal shot of Gandhi, walking with a small group of his supporters across the beach.
The urban scenes include views of busy streets with tradespeople selling their goods, and there are shots of the Eros cinema building (which opened in 1938), the Flora fountain, and the Taj Mahal hotel.
Towards the end of the film and back on the beach, snake charmers and tightrope walkers entertain the passers-by. One scene shows a small child dancing, as a boy plays an Indian harmonium.
The footage has been clipped to remove sensitive images.

[@DARSHANCHANDEKAR]

beautiful video-doc., Thanks for bringing this to us. Informative and entertaining. I always felt that thing really don't change much in terms of culture etc and this is the evidence of that. we are amazingly overpopulated now and destroyed the city and its fora and fauna. Pollution has massively gone up and too many people create bad vibrations to concentrate in a smaller area, all our cities are facing the same issue.
