Top 4 Bollywood Lord Ganesha Celebration Songs

Song: Morya re
Film: Don
Yeh hai Bambai nagariya turned into Morya re in this remake of the 1978 classic. Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy successfully capture the mood during the immersion in their beats. And Shahrukh Khan’s energetic dance moves had us thinking of a different God!

Song: Deva o deva
Film: Humse Badhkar Kaun
It’s has a traditional setting – complete with the ladies in the nine-yard saris and even the lyrics purely about the Lord and how He blesses His devotees. Of course, there are a couple of not-so-piously motivated characters around too. Mohammed Rafi and Shailendra’s passion-filled voices really lift the composition. And when you hear bin maange poori ho jaaye jo bhi ichchha ho manki (all your wishes are fulfilled), you believe.

Song: Ganpati apne gaaon chale
Film: Agneepath

The lyrics, music, costumes, choreography and even the colours being thrown around lend this entire sequence a heavy dose of authenticity. Mithun Chakraborty shows off his dance moves, while Amitabh retreats to the background with his slow walk. Sudesh Bhosle and Kavita Krishnamurthy ably render this explosive composition by Laxmikant Pyarelal.

Song: Murti Ganesh ki
Film: Takkar
This song changed the way we view the huge Ganeshas during immersion processions. Can thieves really hide their loot in one of those idols? RD Burman’s terrific music, Kishore Kumar and Mahendra Kapoor’s melodious voices has us rising against those who use the Lord’s name for their illegal activities.
