Whether it is Ganesh Chaturthi or Janmashtami, festivals have always found its special place in Bollywood films. This time, we are celebrating the festival of Ganesh Chaturthi with sweets, modaks, singing and dancing. And for that, we present you the top 5 contemporary Hindi songs of the elephant headed-god.
Sadda Dil Vi Tu from ABCD - Any Body Can Dance (2013)Prabhu Deva's ABCD (Any Body Can Dance), a song titled as 'Sadda Dil Vi Tu' is not only a visual joy, but also an upbeat and foot-tapping number. It's being composed on a high note, which is literally an ode to Lord Ganesha. Hard Kaur has introduced a bit of rock-version into the Ganpati aarti which works superbly well, making this a hatke track without losing any of its devotional value. Composers Sachin and Jigar have done an excellent job with the music by mixing various sounds.
Deva Shree Ganesha from Agneepath (2012)Singer Ajay Gogavale's powerful voice makes this devotional song, Deva Shree Ganesha, as a treat for the ears. From the Hrithik Roshan starrer film Agneepath, this influential composition is done by Ajay-Atul, who have used the nagada brilliantly in the number. And not to forget, the last minute of the song will certainly take you on a high-note with its repetitive aarti chants!
Tera Hi Jalwa from Wanted (2008)Sung by Wajid, the song 'Tera Hi Jalwa' features Salman Khan in lead and is yet again from Prabhu Deva's super-hit film 'Wanted'. It's an ideal song to let your hair down and rejoice the festival, just like Sallu does in the movie. The track has a very desi touch to it, which is why it had turned out to be an instant popular among street urchins, taporis and community celebrations.
Morya Re from Don (2006)This song from the Shahrukh Khan starrer 'Don:The Chase Begins' is an energetic number and rejoiced the festive season with spectacle and magnificence. 'Morya Re' has been sung by Shankar Mahadevan, written by Javed Akhtar and is being composed by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy. It's the perfect number for the occasion and will get you grooving to the beats in an honor of Ganpati.
Shree Ganeshay Dheemanhi from Viruddh (2005)The song "Shree Ganeshay Dheemanhi" from the 2005 film 'Viruddh... Family Comes First' was selected from one of the Stavanas of Lord Ganesha from Marathi music maestro Ajay-Atul. It's quite simple and can be defined as the form of Aarti for Ganpti Bappa. Directed by Mahesh Manjrekar, it's a family drama movie that stars Amitabh Bachchan, Sharmila Tagore, Sanjay Dutt and John Abraham. Viruddh is one among relatively few Hindi films that is not a musical, where the soundtrack is instead primarily used as background.
