From Selfie Mania to Prabhas’ Baahubali pose inspires Ganesha idols this year

Lord Ganesha is worshipped in various forms and Ganesh idols come out in different avatars every year. Makers often prepare idols inspired by many things from different walks of life ranging from characters in super hit films to current issues and on-going trends in the society. Last year, we have seen the Ganesh idols ranging from Chota Bheem to Sai Baba. And if that isn’t enough, Ganesha’s vehicle, the mouse, also had a transformation of sorts, with some versions seeing him atop superhero, Spider-Man.

This year, ‘Baahubali’ fever gripped the country and many idols inspired by both Shivudu and Amarendra Baahubali characters are being made. Many lord Ganesha idol makers are said to have started creating idols similar to Prabhas’ pose, where he carries a ‘Shivling’ on his shoulder.

This year, the selfie bug has hit the people and the country’s obsession with selfies has gone a tad bit too far as idol makers have gone for idols of Lord Ganesh taking a selfie of him with his family members, Lord Shiva and Parvathi.

This is not the first time where we come across Ganesh idols of this type. Earlier, Pawan Kalyan’s super hit film ‘Gabbar Singh’ also inspired many idol makers to prepare idols inspired by the powerful cop. Rajamouli’s ‘Eega’ not only did wonders at the box-office but also inspired many to make idols inspired by the Super Fly. We have also seen World Cup Ganesha, Anna Hazare Ganesha and even the travel Ganesha.

Craftsmen who create Ganesha do not limit to only these movies and trends, the lord has been idolised in different forms of gods only to cater to the devotees tastes.

There has been an increasing awareness about eco-friendly practices in all walks of life. So far the Ganesha idols that are immersed in rivers, lakes and the sea are mostly made of Plaster of Paris which does not dissolve in water easily. This year, there were also eco-friendly Ganesh idols which made to this list. Digambar Manikar and his son Rajesh have made a 22-foot Ganesh idol weighing 150 kg using nothing but 30,000 tissue papers to show the importance of eco-friendly idols, according to Hindustan Times.

Baaghi 2 Makers In Trouble As Original “Ek Do Teen” Makers Seek Legal Action.

Bollywood’s obsession with ruining old classic songs sees no end. From Oye Oye in Azhar to Humma Humma in Ok Jaanu to yesterday’s Ek Do Teen in Baaghi 2, Bollywood industry was quite successful in ruining our childhood. These songs were the classic songs of B-town and remixed versions ruined them to the core.

Madhuri Dixit played the role of Mohini in the movie Tezaab and danced in the song “Ek Do Teen” which is now remixes by Baaghi 2 team and Jacqueline Fernandez played the role of Madhuri Dixit in the song. Undoubtedly, Jacqueline is one of the prettiest actresses in the industry. But does she have the grace and aura of Madhuri Dixit? Hell No! Only Madhuri Dixit can play the role of Mohini with such innocence.

The makers of the original song are furious over ruining a classic song. Tezaab’s director N.Chandra and composer Saroj Khan are trying to file a legal case on the makers of the film. Here’s what they said,

“I can’t believe they’ve done this to ‘Ek Do Teen’. It’s crass beyond imagination. And Jacqueline Fernandez doing Madhuri Dixit’s number? Give me a break! It’s like turning the Central Park into a botanical garden. Madhuri danced with such grace and innocence.”

They further added referring to Deepika Padukone’s Dum Maaro Dum song and said,

“Anyone can do anything to your creation just because there are no laws to protect our property. I remember some years ago, RD Burman’s ‘Dum Maro Dum’ had been similarly vandalized.”

Madhuri’s version of “Ek Do Teen” was quirky and fun and an absolute eye feast to watch as Madhuri’s expressions in the song were lovely. But coming to Jac’s version, her expressions were plastic and overly sexualized and the guys around her pulling off her denim jacket is absolutely disgusting to watch.

Though makers tried to copy Madhuri’s signature steps in the song, the grace of Madhuri was missing. Makers even failed in designing Jacqueline’s costume. They completely changed this song to an item number. The makers of Baaghi 2 wanted to give a tribute to Madhuri Dixit’s classic song “Ek Do Teen” but failed miserably in doing the same and now landed in trouble for remixing the song.

To be honest, Jacqueline’s version of “Ek Do Teen” should be an epitome example of why Bollywood should stop remixing old songs.
