This is the time of year when all the houses are decorated with lights to welcome Lord Ganesha, who stays for ten days. Ganesh Chaturthi, which is widely celebrated with tremendous fervor and excitement by Lord Ganesha’s followers nationwide, particularly in Maharashtra, is one of the most venerated occasions in the Hindu calendar.
The 10-day celebration will be observed this year from September 7 to September 17. Additionally, it would be gratifying to watch films that capture the essence of Ganesh Chaturthi on these auspicious days. Regardless of how they depict commitment, family, or the feast, these films are enjoyable to see. The following movies are available to see during the Ganesh festival.
Agneepath (2012)
Many people may recall the Karan Malhotra-directed Bollywood film Agneepath, which features one of the best looks of Ganesh Chaturthi in the industry. The compelling story of retaliation and atonement in the film, which stars Hrithik Roshan, Priyanka Chopra, and Sanjay Dutt, is captivating. The Ganesh festival-themed song “Deva Shree Ganesha” is undoubtedly one of the most alluring, gorgeously rendered, and upbeat pieces in the film. It is ideal to see it during the festival since it portrays the commitment and triumph of the good characters over the wicked antagonists.
Vaastav (1999)
Sanjay Dutt plays the lead role in Mahesh Manjrekar’s crime drama Vaastav. Despite being a film about a man’s trip through the criminal underworld, it features one of Bollywood’s most famous Ganesh Chaturthi moments. The movie’s use of the song “Sindoor Lal Chadayo” is crucial since it highlights the hero’s steadfast religious beliefs in the face of numerous setbacks.
My Friend Ganesha
Without this endearing movie, which centers on the relationship between a young kid and Lord Ganesha and masterfully captures the genuine spirit of the auspicious festival Ganesh Chaturthi, no Ganesh Chaturthi celebration would be complete. Ahsaas Channa, Kiran Janjani, and Shital Shah played the key characters in the movie.
Shor in the City
The story of the movie takes place amid the lavish Ganesh Chaturthi celebration scene. It also showed other scenes of dedication, such as people dancing in crowded streets. Leading parts in the movie are played by Tusshar Kapoor, Radhika Apte, Sendhil Ramamurthy, Nikhil Dwivedi, and Preeti Desai.
