Produced by his wife Genelia D’souza and sung by Riteish Deshmukh, the best thing about Thank God Bappa is its lyrics.
The song explaining the greatness of Bappa in a unique rap style. The tune is catchy, Riteish’s Banjo look quite suits him and his rapping skills are not too bad. But it is the lyrics, the brutally honest words that make it top notch. Thanks to the subtitles, this Marathi number is easy to understand. This is what Riteish begs you to do: stop conning people, stop bribing to cut the queue, stop offering ‘puja discounts’, stop littering, stop destroying the ecology. Stop all this, because that’s not what this festival and Ganpati – the creator and destroyer of obstacles – is about at all.
Bollywood hasn’t stopped raving about Riteish’s singing talent and this one officially flags off the year’s biggest festivity.
