Grewia tillaefolia, dhaman as it is called locally.
Leaves and blooms. This tree is commonly growing wild in alibaug.
My place, alibaug, yesterday.

Good pictures
The leaves are showing a lot of variations.
I could spot some sickle shaped foliaceous stipules with some leaves which are characteristic.

thank you for the appreciation.
phalsa is grewia asiatica, similar but not the same. havn't seen it growing wild in the Bombay area.
the fruits turn red and then a dark purple.
have planted a few phalsa saplings. dhaman ofcourse is growing wild
 
some of the dhaman plants have started fruiting
attaching photigraphs of the fruit.
 
regards
