हर हर महादेव मधील सळसळत्या उर्जने भरलेलं 'बाजी रं बाजी रं' गाणं प्रेक्षकांच्या भेटीला

हर हर महादेव मधील सळसळत्या उर्जने भरलेलं 'बाजी रं बाजी रं' गाणं प्रेक्षकांच्या भेटीला 

हर हर महादेव ही शिवगर्जना सध्या सर्वत्र दुमदुमत आहे. यासाठी कारणही तसं विशेषच आहे ते म्हणजे झी स्टुडियोजची निर्मिती आणि प्रस्तुती असलेला आगामी 'हर हर महादेव' हा चित्रपट. या चित्रपटाच्या टिझरने आणि ट्रेलरने यापूर्वीच प्रेक्षकांची मने जिंकली आहेत आणि आता यातील गाणीही प्रेक्षकांच्या मनावर अधिराज्य गाजवण्यासाठी सज्ज झाली आहेत. चित्रपटाच्या ट्रेलरप्रमाणेच या गाण्यांमधूनही रोमहर्षक असाच अनुभव प्रेक्षकांना मिळणार आहे. यातील वाह रे शिवा हे गाण्याचा यापूर्वीच विविध म्युझीकल ऍप्सवर चार्टबस्टर लिस्टमध्ये समावेश झाला आहे. युट्युबवरही हे गाणे लाखो प्रेक्षकांनी बघितले असून त्याला आपल्या पसंतीची पावती देत भरभरून प्रतिक्रियाही दिल्या आहेत. या गाण्यानंतर आता प्रेक्षकांच्या भेटीस येत आहे 'बाजी रं बाजी रं झुंजार बाजी रं' हे गाणं. छत्रपती शिवाजी महाराजांचा लढवय्या शिलेदार वीर बाजीप्रभू देशपांडे यांच्या बाणेदार व्यक्तिमत्वाची आणि पराक्रमाची महती सांगणारं हे गाणं आहे. मंदार चोळकर यांचे धारदार शब्द असलेल्या या गाण्याला संगीत दिलं आहे हितेश मोडक यांनी तर आपल्या बुलंद आवाजाने ते सजवलं आहे मनिष राजगिरे या गायकाने. अभिनेते शरद केळकर हे या चित्रपटात बाजीप्रभू देशपांडे यांची भूमिका साकारत असून हे गाणं त्यांच्यावरच चित्रीत झालं आहे. अभिजीत देशपांडे यांच्या लेखन आणि दिग्दर्शनातून तयार झालेला ‘हर हर महादेव’ येत्या दिवाळीत २५ ऑक्टोबरला मराठीसह हिंदी, तामिळ, तेलगू आणि कन्नड भाषांमधून झी स्टुडियोजच्या माध्यमातून भारतभरात प्रदर्शित होत आहे. झी स्टुडिओज आणि श्री गणेश मार्केटिंग अँड फिल्म्सने या चित्रपटाची निर्मिती केली आहे. 

कोणत्याही ऐतिहासिक चित्रपटाला अधिक धारदार आणि भरजरी बनवतात ती त्या चित्रपटातील गाणी. 'हर हर महादेव' चित्रपटातील गाणीही याला अपवाद नाहीयेत. बाजी रं बाजी रं हे गाणंही असंच सळसळतं आणि नवी उर्जा निर्माण करणारं झालं आहे. 

छाताडाचा कोट करून रणी उभा संहाराचा रंग चढे दाही दिशा बाजी रं बाजी रं झुंजार बाजी रं बाजी रं बाजी रं अंगार बाजी रं 

अशा जबरदस्त शब्दांत गीतकार मंदार चोळकर यांनी बाजीप्रभूंचं वर्णन यात केलं आहे. पारंपरिक वाद्यांसह आधूनिक वाद्यांचा मेळ असणारं हे गाणं संगीतप्रेमी आणि शिवप्रेमींची मने जिंकेल असा विश्वास संगीतकार हितेश मोडक यांनी व्यक्त केला.

Acclaimed playwright, screen writer, essayist, actor and professor, Mahesh Elkunchwar, one of India’s most influential literary voices, has been conferred the Tata Literature Live! Lifetime Achievement Award for 2022.  Renowned both in India and abroad, Mr Elkunchwar’s body of work has spanned several decades of nuanced, insightful, contemporary reflections across genres, covering a range of scenarios from rural and urban settings and the gamut of human situations and emotions.  Mahesh Elkunchwar has received the Sahitya Akademi Award, one of India’s highest literary awards, and the Sangeet Natak Akademi Fellowship, which is India’s highest honour in relation to the performing arts. He was a professor of English Literature at Dharampeth Arts & Commerce College, and M. P. Deo Memorial Science College, both in Nagpur. He has been a guest professor of screenplay writing at the Film and Television Institute, Pune and has regularly taught as a visiting professor at the National School of Drama, New Delhi. His plays have been translated and performed in multiple Indian languages, as well as in English, French and German, and Sonata, Holi and Party have been made into films by Aparna Sen, Ketan Mehta and Govind Nihalani respectively. His Wada trilogy, about several generations of a family negotiating the social and cultural shifts of the twentieth century and coming to terms with their changed status in modern day India, is regarded as a modern masterpiece, unique to playwriting in India.
