In celebration of Lord Shiva’s Maha Shivratri, one of the most prominent festivals of the Hindu calendar, we bring you some of our favourite Lord Shiva related Bollywood songs.
As we explore a few of the different shades that Bollywood has celebrated Lord Shiva through, we take you on a very quick journey beginning in 1950, with the song “Bhole nath se nirala” to end with Koyla’s (1997) mischievous “Bhang Ke Nashe Mein”.
Known by at least 1008 different names, including “Kailas” (One who bestows Peace), “Shambu” (Source of everything) and “Hari” (Sustainer and Destroyer), Lord Shiva is said to have married Parvarti on Maha Shivratri. Other readings of Hinduism state that Maha Shivratri is the night on which Shiva performed “Tandava” – the dance that led to the creation, conservation and destruction of the Universe.
Maha Shivratri is also known as Lord Shiva’s favourite day.
However you may be celebrating...

Song still from Joker
A still from Shirish Kunder’s upcoming film Joker has drawn conjectures with past classic films
Shirish Kunder has uploaded a picture on his social networking sites from his upcoming film Joker starring Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha. Many people are drawing similarities with the Jai Jai Shiv Shankar number from the Rajesh Khanna-Mumtaz starrer Aap Ki Kasam (1974). Some also believe that the sequence is inspired from the ‘Dum Maro Dum’ number featuring Zeenat Aman in Hare Raam Hare Krishna (1971).
Sonakshi’s yellow lehenga choli and Akshay Kumar’s dhoti teamed with shades (as well as Akshay’s hat) give a fusion feel to the film. The Trishul in Sonakshi’s hand probably leads to the Jai Jai Shiv Shankar conclusion and the background foreign dancers in saffron robes with the Rudrakhsh accessories draws the comparison to the Dum Maro Dum song.
