Jai Jai Maharashtra Maza is a popular Marathi language song praising the Maharashtra state of India. The original lyrics of the song were written by Raja Badhe. The music was composed by Shrinivas Khale and sung by folk singer Krishnarao Sabale, popularly known as Shahir Sable.[1]
[edit] New version
The song with alterations in music and lyrics was released in 2004 in the album Dilse Maratha Hai by singer – composer Avdhoot Gupte. The album was released by president of Shiv Sena, Uddhav Thackeray at the Thackeray residence "Matoshri", Bandra, Mumbai. [2] The video featured actors Urmila Matondkar and Vivek Oberoi. Gupte's song however is a mix of Hindi and Marathi. The music is inspired from Bryan Adam's chartbuster song Summer of '69.[citation needed]
The new version had to face some criticism for use of swear words not considered appropriate in the song. In defense Gupte said that they were added "to make it peppy".[3]
