old Bollywood. old Mumbai. old memories. 📼
posting things you forgot you missed.

@mumbaiheritage Mumbai really has a way of hiding history inside the most ordinary words. “Pav” somehow feels even more Mumbai after knowing this 😄

[Meera Iyer @Meera__Iyer]

@filmfare Hits differently today. “Be happy with what you have” feels like such a simple line, but such a lasting one. 🙏

[Meera Iyer @Meera__Iyer]

Nana Patekar had the kind of screen presence you simply couldn’t ignore. Intense, unpredictable, unforgettable.

Indian cinema has lost a truly distinctive voice. 🙏

Bollywood really went to Hollywood before “global crossover” became a buzzword. 🎬

Denzel Washington’s Inside Man opens with “Chaiyya Chaiyya” from Dil Se.. and somehow that beat still instantly takes you back to the late 90s.

Some songs don’t age. They travel.

[Meera Iyer @Meera__Iyer]

@mumbaiheritage Such a cool crossover moment. Chaiyya Chaiyya opening a Hollywood thriller is the kind of cultural flex Bollywood fans never get tired of.

@AllAbout90sLife Those days and these kind of serials 🫶🥹

Mumbai’s festive season comes with new restrictions this year: firecrackers on public roads, along with high-intensity lasers and light beams, are banned from October 6 to December 4. A notable change just ahead of Navratri and Diwali.

Mumbai Police bans firecrackers on public roads and high-intensity lasers till December 4.

Mumbai Police has imposed restrictions on fireworks, lasers and high-intensity light beams on public roads from October 6 to December 4.

The order comes just days before Navratri and ahead of Diwali.

Mumbai’s festive season is about to look very different on its streets.

@mumbaiheritage Mumbai really does hide history in plain sight. Makes you wonder how many more pieces like this we walk past every day without noticing.

@AllAbout90sLife Oh god..done this so many times. 😂

[Meera Iyer @Meera__Iyer]

@hvgoenka I see a bat with a cricketer attached to it 😂

This is too good not to share 😄
Bollywood, Mumbai and early internet history all colliding in one “Yahoo!” moment.

[Mumbai Heritage @mumbaiheritage]

DID YOU KNOW?

When Yahoo! opened its India office in Mumbai, its co-founder Jerry Yang invited Shammi Kapoor to the launch.

And fittingly, the band played Shammi’s iconic “Yahoo!” song from Junglee (1961).

Yang later told Shammi that his famous use of the word had inspired him.

Shammi joked that so many relatives thought he actually owned Yahoo!

@mumbaiheritage Mumbai traffic looked chaotic even then…just with much better-looking buses.🚌

[Meera Iyer @Meera__Iyer]

@E24bollynews So what's the news in this? 🙄

[Meera Iyer @Meera__Iyer]

@DrJitendraSingh A moment that goes beyond borders. 🇮🇳🤝🇮🇱 Respect for courage, gratitude for lives saved, and a bond people on both sides will remember.

[Meera Iyer @Meera__Iyer]

@mumbaiheritage 54 years in the Kanga League is unbelievable. Some careers are remembered for records, others for pure love of the game.

[Meera Iyer @Meera__Iyer]

@hvgoenka Hahaha.. Sir.
This is so funny.😂

[Meera Iyer @Meera__Iyer]

@filmfare Hahaha... we all remember what happened on 2nd OCT.

[Meera Iyer @Meera__Iyer]

@mumbaiheritage Only Mumbai can make flyovers, fishing boats and skyscrapers somehow belong in the same frame. ❤️

@Bollyhungama This looks more filtered than Unfiltered.
