Bollywood has long been celebrated for its ability to encapsulate India's vibrant cultural tapestry, and no phenomenon illustrates this better than its musical tributes to Lord Ganesha. Songs devoted to the elephant-headed deity have become synonymous with Ganesh Chaturthi both on and off screen, offering audiences a dynamic fusion of faith and entertainment.
A classic example is 'Shendoor Lal Chadhayo' from the film 'Vaastav,' which has become a mainstay during the Ganesh Utsav celebrations in Maharashtra. Similarly, Ajay-Atul's 'Deva Shree Ganesha' from the 2012 remake of 'Agneepath' brings a refreshing take to the festival with its dramatic composition accompanying tense screen moments.
Other notable tracks include 'Gajanana' from 'Bajirao Mastani,' 'Mourya Re' featuring Shah Rukh Khan in 'Don,' and energetic numbers like 'Sadda Dil Vi Tu' from 'ABCD'.
