Ganesh Chaturthi 2025 has ushered in a wave of devotion, celebration, and, of course, Bollywood enthusiasm. The film industry is known for its vibrant and often large-scale celebration of this auspicious festival, and this year is no different. From heartfelt wishes to energetic dance numbers, Bollywood is embracing the spirit of Ganesh Chaturthi with open arms.

Many Bollywood celebrities have taken to social media to share their warm wishes and glimpses of their personal celebrations. Akshay Kumar, Karan Johar, and many others have extended festive greetings to their fans. Kunal Kemmu and Soha Ali Khan offered a peek into their family's celebrations, posting heartwarming images of their home puja with their daughter Inaaya Naumi Kemmu. Kareena Kapoor Khan shared a cheerful message, emphasizing the brightness that Bappa's blessings bring to celebrations. Other stars like Priyanka Chopra, Sonam Kapoor, Ajay Devgn, Arjun Kapoor, and Sanjay Dutt also joined in, filling social media with festive cheer.

Music is an integral part of Ganesh Chaturthi, and Bollywood has contributed significantly to the festive playlist. Energetic and soulful Ganpati songs amplify the celebratory mood. Several tracks have become synonymous with the festival, enhancing both home festivities and public celebrations. "Deva Shree Ganesha" from Agneepath (2012) remains a high-energy favorite, perfect for kicking off the celebrations with its powerful beats and cinematic intensity. "Morya Re" from Don is another popular choice, ideal for processions with its festive cheer and devotional vibe. "Jai Ganesh Deva" is a timeless devotional song that creates a perfect atmosphere for prayers and traditional dances. Other popular tracks include "Ganpati Bappa Morya," "Sukhkarta Dukhharta," "Bappa" from Banjo, and "Vighnaharta" from Antim: The Final Truth.

Bollywood's connection with Ganesh Chaturthi extends beyond music and celebrity wishes; the festival has often been featured in films, sometimes as a backdrop for iconic plot twists. Agneepath (2012), starring Hrithik Roshan, includes a significant Ganesh Visarjan sequence where a major turning point in the story occurs. Similarly, Don (2006), starring Shah Rukh Khan, showcases a vibrant Ganesh Visarjan scene with the song "Morya Re," using the festive chaos as a cover for the protagonist's escape. Even dance films like ABCD – Any Body Can Dance (2013) have incorporated Ganpati Visarjan dances into their climactic performances. These cinematic depictions reflect the festival's cultural importance and its integration into the fabric of Indian society.

Beyond the grand celebrations and film depictions, Ganesh Chaturthi remains a deeply personal and spiritual festival for many in Bollywood. The homecoming of Lord Ganesha is marked by prayers, delicious modaks, and a shared sense of community and devotion. The festival symbolizes the removal of obstacles and the beginning of new ventures, resonating with the hopes and aspirations of people from all walks of life. As Bollywood stars celebrate with their families and fans, they not only amplify the festive spirit but also reinforce the cultural significance of Ganesh Chaturthi.
