Bollywood has many movies where the Ganesh Chaturthi Festival is shown in all its glory. These sequences are shot on a grand scale much like the real-life celebrations in Mumbai during the festival. While traditional hymns, mantras, and bhajans are a must, a few Ganpati songs from Bollywood are always played at pandals all over India during Ganeshotsav. Here are some popular Bollywood Ganpati songs.

‘Deva Shree Ganesha’ From 'Agneepath' (2012)

Hrithik Roshan and Priyanka Chopra's Agneepath has given us one of the best Ganpati songs, which has become a must-listen during the festival. Pandals, devotees and music bands play this robust song whenever people bring Bappa home. Ajay Gogawale of the Ajay-Atul composer duo has lent his powerful vocals to the song, while they have composed the song. Amitabh Bhattacharya has written the lyrics. The "Deva Shree Ganesha" song has a great tempo and fills us with devotion, energy and hope.
