Ganesh Chaturthi 2025: 5 Films You Can Watch To Welcome Bappa!

Ganesh Chaturthi is a time of celebration, devotion, and joy all across. While the festival brings families and friends together for puja, modaks, and festive gatherings, it’s also the perfect occasion to sit back and enjoy some heart-warming cinema inspired by Lord Ganesha. Over the years, many filmmakers have created wonderful stories that reflect the values of faith, wisdom, and togetherness, often weaving the beloved deity into the narrative. This year, we at Vi recommend a few timeless Ganesha Movies that you can enjoy with your loved ones right at home. So, let’s get started!

1. My Friend Ganesha (2007)

   A charming film loved by children and adults alike, My Friend Ganesha blends everyday life with divine magic. The story revolves around a lonely child who finds an unlikely companion in Lord Ganesha himself. What makes this film endearing is the way it showcases friendship, innocence, and the belief that Ganesha is always by our side to help us overcome challenges. Among all Ganesha Films, this one truly holds a special place in the hearts of families.

2. Ventilator (2016)

   Ventilator is a heartfelt Marathi comedy-drama directed by Rajesh Mapuskar and produced by Priyanka Chopra. Though not centred entirely on Ganesha, the film is set against the backdrop of Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations. It beautifully captures family relationships, traditions, and the emotions that run deep during the festive season. The presence of Ganesha in the storyline serves as a reminder of unity, faith, and renewal, making it a standout in the list of Ganesha Movies to watch this festive season.

3. Bal Ganesh (2007)

   Perfect for younger audiences, Bal Ganesh is an animated film that brings the playful childhood of Lord Ganesha to life. Through colourful visuals and delightful storytelling, children get to witness how the little Ganesha overcomes hurdles with intelligence, wit, and strength. It’s not just entertaining but also educational, introducing mythological tales in a fun and engaging way. This film is an essential pick if you are curating a family-friendly list of Ganesha Films.

4. Bhookailas (1958)

   For those who enjoy classic cinema, Bhookailas is a gem. This is a Telugu film that has been loved for generations. It narrates the tale of Ravana’s quest to bring the Atmalinga of Lord Shiva to Lanka, and how Lord Ganesha cleverly intervenes. This mythological epic highlights the wisdom and strategic mind of Ganesha, reminding us why he is revered as the remover of obstacles. Among traditional Ganesha Movies, Bhookailas continues to stand tall as a cultural classic.

5. Bal Ganesh 2 (2009)

   Following the success of the first instalment, Bal Ganesh 2 continues the story of little Ganesha with fresh adventures and moral lessons. The film is equally engaging, packed with humour, colourful animation, and meaningful tales from Indian mythology. For families looking to entertain children while imparting values, this sequel is one of the most delightful Ganesha Films you can watch during Ganesh Chaturthi.
