Shot on 8mm film in 1946, this vintage home movie captures a bustling riverside market in Bombay, India. Rustic thatched-roof huts and simple buildings line the water’s edge, with people in traditional attire walking along the wooden embankment. Small boats float on the river, some carrying goods, while others are moored near the shore. The footage shows daily life in mid-20th century India, with a natural, unposed quality and the characteristic grain and color palette of Super 8 film. This archival clip offers a nostalgic glimpse into historical urban life.
