Oh I love this photo. It's like a capsule of Mumbai itself. Or parts of it anyway. It's one I could study for hours trying to see all there is in there. Maybe an ancient building, but it's certainly been modernized.
But "Badshah"?
You have a store called Badshah??
And I was about to remark on Namaki's Hindi skills... then I noticed that "Bata" was also in English on the sign.
Great shot, as always!
