While the Durga Puja is a pride of Bengalis, people from different communities are in awe of the zeal and the avidity brought in by the festival. Moreover, several Bollywood movies have incorporated the celebrations of the Durga Puja to energise and bring realism to the plot. Therefore on the occasion of Durga Puja, let us take a look at the movies that exhibited the fervour of the festival:

Featuring two Bollywood beauties Madhuri Dixit and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Dola Re Dola shows the Durga Puja celebration in the 2002 film Devdas .
