“Gajaanana,
shri
ganaraaya,
Adhi
vandu
tuj
moraya.”
As
chants
of
this
Ganpati
song
fill
the
air,
it’s
time
to
welcome
the
Elephant
God
with
fervour.
After
two
years
of
restricted
celebration
owing
to
the
COVID-19
pandemic,
people
are
enthusiastic
about
celebrating
this
festival
with
huge
pomp
and
show.
On
screen,
over
the
years,
Bollywood
have
brought
to
life
these
larger-than-life
celebrations
either
as
an
important
sequence
in
the
narrative
or
as
songs.
On
the
auspicious
occasion
of
Ganesh
Chaturthi
today
(August
31,
2022),
let’s
have
a
look
at
some
of
the
most
iconic
scenes
related
to
this
elephant-headed
God
in
Hindi
cinema
which
made
us
go
‘Ganpati
Bappa
Morya’
all
the
way.
Agneepath
This
popular
scene
from
Agneepath begins
with
Hrithik
Roshan’s
character
Vijay
performing
Ganpati
puja
to
Ajay-Atul’s
‘Deva
Shree
Ganesha’
before
he
sets
out
to
bump
off
Surya
(Pankaj
Tripathi)
who
plans
to
assassinate
Police
Commissioner
Gaitonde
(Om
Puri)
during
the
Ganpati
procession.
Satya
Just
like
how
Lord
Ganesha
is
known
to
be
‘Vighnaharta’
or
the
removal
of
all
obstacles,
in
the
pre-climax
scene
in
Ram
Gopal
Varma’s
Satya,
the
main
protagonist
kills
Bhau
(Govind
Namdev)
during
Ganesh
Chaturthi
celebrations
on
the
beach
to
avenge
the
death
of
Bhiku
Mhatre
(Manoj
Bajpayee).
Atithi
Tum
Kab
Jaoge?
Punit
(Ajay
Devgn)
and
his
wife
Munmun
(Konkona
Sen
Sharma)
have
a
change
of
heart
and
hit
a
realization
when
their
uninvited
guest
Chachaji
(Paresh
Rawal)
goes
missing
during
Ganpati
immersion
celebrations
on
the
beach
in Atithi
Tum
Kab
Jaoge?
All’s
well
that
ends
well!
Vaastav
The
famous
‘Sindhoor
Lal’
song
has
Raghu
(Sanjay
Dutt)
and
his
family
offering
their
prayers
at
the
Ganpati
temple
before
Raghu’s
good
friend
Kishore
arrives
to
inform
him
that
the
police
has
been
ordered
to
kill
him
in
an
encounter.
This
scene
signifies
that
the
virtuous
force
will
always
punish
those
who
take
the
wrong
path
in
their
lives.
ABCD
The
cold-hearted
Jehangir
(KK
Menon)
is
reminded
of
his
old
friendship
with
Vishnu
(Prabhu
Deva)
when
he
watches
the
latter’s
dance
group
DDR’s
heartfelt
tribute
to
Lord
Ganesha
in
the
form
of
‘Sadda
Dil
Vi
Tu.’
Banjo
Lord
Ganesha
is
also
believed
to
be
a
marker
of new
beginnings
and
opportunities.
Riteish
Deshmukh’s
character
Taraat’s
life
takes
a
big
turn
when
Mickey
(Luke
Kenny),
who
is in
search
of
an
instrumentalist
capable
of
playing
the
(Indian)
banjo
comes
across
him
at
a
local
concert
for
Ganesh
festival.
