Old pictures and films always make me sad. This was 55 years ago and most of them seen walking in this film, whom we will never know, may not be alive today - and of course some children too.
Same with me in the PAST but what can we do ? Nothing is in our hands. If you understand life,love,death, sadness will disappear & the one & only way to bliss: www.osho.com , OshoTalks/UA-cam , osho.radio.net , Good Luck !
People die that doesnt make sad its natural everyone die but what make u sad is nostalgic time the world use to be totally different and peaceful at that time but now everything changed i was born in 1993 i dont know about 1962 but i still miss my childhood era of early 20's
I lived in Kalina in the Military camp as it was known back then in 1966 and Santa Cruz was crowded then too, and I visited again in 2011, and was blown away by the change and crowds. But it brought back wonderful memories.
I lived in that city till 2018, it's crazy how easily all of those buildings are still recognisable and I could imagine exactly which location is shown in these clips. Final clip is Gol Deul (Mandir) in Nagpada.❤️
I was there as a 6 year old child in Santa Cruz. The shooting of battle scene of Dev Anand's Hum Dono happened near the Air Force Station . I had chicken pox and mom did not take me to the shoot . Both mom and Dev sahab are no more .
This was when my dad was a young man and went to the states.. he was never much of a talker and there are hardly any pics from that time. Thanks for showing me the city he lived in.
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!
Beautiful yes, but CLEAN?? I don't think so! As a very young boy in 1962, the memory of dumped wet garbage on the street with flies all over still haunts me.
@@jatinmulgund9476 agreed, I think we've gone back in time, if a woman wears the same dress at this time, she'll be a prey to so many glances and remarks.

My grandfather was born in the slums of Mumbai in 1940 and at 15 he migrated to Malaysia where he worked and started a small business. Later he opened a bakery and grocery shop in Penang. Today my family owned a few groceries, bakeries and two factories. Till today we thanked my grandfather who came from the slums of Mumbai and changed the lives of his future generations forever. I remembered his last words " you can be the lowest of caste but nobody can judge you or decide what you should do with your life"
Is it 1962?!...irony is nothing has change..same buses, buildings...i saw a new york video similar to this and there is a vast difference now..we could have developed much more
Nothing much has changed except for the population. Buildings remain unpainted, ambassador cars and double deckers still ply on roads, street hawkers and peddlers are everywhere.
@@toytafortuner congress built the public sector of india. I think our next 100 years will be spent blaming congress and next 100 years after that will be spent blaming bjp. Truth is, our country is corrupt to the core and that's the reason why we stayed the same. In words of gandhi, "No matter how great constitution is, it is bound to fail if people will not follow it properly" and the words still hold true today.
My father did Mumbai-Pune up down till 1972. And one of the reasons he stoped it is it took two mins more to cross the road at church gate. And due to that he had to catch the train running! The city was getting more crowded than it could accomodate thats what he said!
JackieShroffFan yes the best of times ,when it was common to die from diseases easily cured today and to have no reliable instant communication and no way to transmit ideas fast, truly the best of times
What's interesting is how clean the streets were compared to today. But that's true everywhere. One of the main causes is there wasn't trash being produced to begin with. Goods were not over packaged. When you bought food, you just bought food. You didn't get all this paper and plastic with everything. If we stop buying things that come with trash, we won't have trash. Nice video.
Thats wrong. I live in germany and we dont have trash in the streets like in all those shithole countrys. Its only a matter of proper waste management and the mindset of the people who live there.
yes the thrash stays on the roads for weeks before anyone comes around to clear them...government thrash control service is bad! i seen this in kerala when i visited many years ago..
I was probably somewhere in my previous life. I didn't even existed , not even my mom and my Nani would have been 1 or 2 yr old. Thinking about this .....the video quality is quite good for it's generation , my par nani's time .
fidel catsro Nope. The clip shown in this video is showing the wealthiest areas of India. The videos you see on the internet today showcase the poorest of poorest areas of India. That's the difference Literacy rate in 1962 - 18% Literacy rate in 2018 - Above 80% GDP of India in 1962 - $36,000,000,000 GDP of India in 2011 - $2,800,000,000,000 Growth rate of India in 1962 - Negative 5.2%... Which means india was going backward by 5% every year in GDP!!!! Growth rate of India in 2018 - Above 9%.. Which means Indian wealth is increasing at a rate of 9% Life expectancy in 1960 - 40 (average person dies at 40) Life expectancy in 2018 - 72 Fertility rate in 1960 - 6 (average woman gives birth to 6 children) Fertility rate in 2011 - 2.4 (average woman gives birth to almost 2 children) India was struggling in 1960s and it was one of the poorest countries.. Your fucking media won't show india in a good light
Alex S Watch this video : ua-cam.com/video/f7CW7S0zxv4/v-deo.html Moreover, all the things that the British had built which includes Railways, roads and infrastructure were collected from INDIANS through taxes and built by Indians labourers. Also, all these railway and road related things were not used for the intention of providing facilities to India but it was to serve as a medium of transporting goods from cities to cities for the benefit of the British. Saying India was under a good light under the rule (read loot) of British is same as saying that getting robbed is cool if the robber steals $1000 worth of cash, but also leaves behind a $10 coin, which happens to be built by the guy who got robbed. I can provide you 100 more facts to prove that the British is British only because of India and otherwise it would not have been wealthy
Alex S If you have spent a lot of time in India, then did you communicate with the people that were actually from the time when India was under British rule (people that would be 80 or 90 years old) Also, most Indians hate only one country, which is Pakistan and nobody hates British because nobody knows that British actually fucked up India's economy. The best way to ruin a country is to ruin the education system of it. The British changed the medium of education from local languages like Hindi to English and taught the Indian youth that they (British) are actually trying to develop India and not ruin India. The British spread the propaganda of separating the brothers (Hindus and Muslims) into 2 new countries (India and Pakistan) so that they can easily rule and loot India. As a matter of fact, Indians ended up fighting against themselves instead of fighting the real robber (British).

@Captain Starfricker yeah well that holds true for almost all ancient architecture all over the world. Plus road today are shit because of corrupt officials and not due to lack of planning/engineering.
Ranjit Tyagi India is a democratic country. We can't force Indians not have kids. Its their choice! Even Europeans has 10 kids when they were poor. Average Indian woman itself had 6 kids in 1962 and now in 2018, average woman has only 2 kids. Indian population shouldn't be blamed. India has been massively populated since the medieval age and that's why we have one of the highest population in the world!
I am born in 1958 , and i was staying in fort area behind handloom house. If you see the road is not having much traffic and its clean, the fire bridge staff used to clean the road in from of handloom house every Sunday morning. Mumbai was heaven.
I am not seeing much change is Mumbai same buildings roads Garbage...... imagine people are watching video in 2070, we all would have died and new generation is watching us in same street, building and road. Life is amazing
my grand father stayed in this area even before indepenence .he was having home till 1980 . our family shifted to thane after 1980 . Thats null bazaar , bhuleshwar area near grant road . My Father showed me all this places .

I'm an Indian and I don't need anyone's approval on calling it Mumbai or Bombay. Patla ka kaka?
@@KUSHHBRINGSITT awesome reply
@@KUSHHBRINGSITT super reply...!!
Sweet old memories of Bombay, since 1953 by birth staying in Mimbai, nice video.
BRITISH ROADS , BRITISH BUILDINGS , BRITISH ARCHITECTURE , BRITISH ENGINEERING , BRITISH CULTURE ... NEED I SAY MORE !
Are you trying to justify colonization? Sick
@Captain Starfricker yeah well that holds true for almost all ancient architecture all over the world. Plus road today are shit because of corrupt officials and not due to lack of planning/engineering.
Victoria/CSMT is not British architecture or culture. It's a blend of many and respectful of British and Indian culture. You however, hate yourself.
@@brocklesnar5385 especially the Land (once Mumbai was seven different Islands) British connected all of them for more space
@@ColtraneTaylor CSMT station's architecture looks a lot European-esque tho
its still the same only population explode

India is a democratic country. We can't force Indians not have kids. Its their choice! Even Europeans has 10 kids when they were poor. Average Indian woman itself had 6 kids in 1962 and now in 2018, average woman has only 2 kids. Indian population shouldn't be blamed. India has been massively populated since the medieval age and that's why we have one of the highest population in the world!
Fascinating film..50years ago..central parts of Bombay still looks the same..but there are more cars now.
Dressing also changed
Good old days . Not born in that era but really love to go back through videos and movies
This feels so nostalgia
As if i lived there
I lived in that moment
only honest people...good roads,less people....I wish could go in that era
now only the cats there are honest...
But there were many problems there no medical treatment and lack of communication
That time was a golden time and beautiful
I am born in 1958 , and i was staying in fort area behind handloom house. If you see the road is not having much traffic and its clean, the fire bridge staff used to clean the road in from of handloom house every Sunday morning. Mumbai was heaven.
UA-cam is the closest thing we have to time machine
I love that era....all things are pure that time including humans....
I am not seeing much change is Mumbai same buildings roads Garbage...... imagine people are watching video in 2070, we all would have died and new generation is watching us in same street, building and road. Life is amazing

किती सुंदर होती मुंबई आमचा जन्म इथे होऊन सुद्धा आम्हाला ही अशी मुंबई पहायला मिळाली नाही, माझ वय आता साठ आहे ,ही पुर्वीचा मुंबई किती छान होती.
Yeh hai Bombay meri jaan !!! Everyoung everlive..
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?
That's why Mumbai called FINANCIAL CAPITAL OF INDIA 🇮🇳
अरे मेरे पुराने बॉम्बे तू कितना अच्छा था कितना प्यारा था पर अब तो सब जगह बदल गई सड़क को पार करना भी कठिन हो गया ।।
