Bandstand in the ’70s

In this shot from Amar Akbar Anthony, Shabana Azmi seems to be standing at the curve of Bandstand where it meets the koliwada, where boats are parked during low tide (thanks, B-Fug):

As it is today:

But it could just as easily be another part of Bombay’s western coast. Consider this a question in cryptogeography: can anyone identify this spot?

    I had to team up with my girlfriend for this one and we think this is along Carter road where the Promenade ends, and the fisherpeople’s area, better known as Danda, begins

    But the land doesn’t jut out behind Danda there, it curves in for a ways before Juhu begins, no?

    So its not Carter Road you say? Ok .. we’ll give it another shot.. and I quote “mebbe its the begining of bandstand? right where salman khans building is” (sigh!)

    Yup, that’s what it looks like to me, before part of the mud flat was turned into a park. But it could also be Worli, I don’t know those seaside roads well.
