Deewani Mastani (feat. Ganesh Chandanshive)

The song 'Deewani Mastani' performed by Shreya Ghoshal is a beautiful portrayal of deep infatuation and love, often featured in the context of Indian cinema. The lyrics describe a woman who has become completely enamored and obsessed with her lover, to the point where she is referred to as 'deewani'—a term that signifies someone who is madly in love, and 'mastani'—which implies intoxication, suggesting that her love is overwhelming and consuming her.

The song opens with a description of an ethereal woman, likened to an apsara (a celestial nymph), who captivates everyone with her beauty. The narrative then shifts to the voice of the woman herself, who acknowledges that her love story has become famous. She has chosen to embrace her passion, despite it not being accepted by society ('Jo jag ne na maani toh Maine bhi thaani'). This reflects a strong-willed determination to pursue her love, regardless of societal norms.

The lyrics also touch upon the transformative power of love. The woman describes how the 'wound' of love has made her spiritual ('ruhaani') and how her love story has gained a life of its own, becoming a flowing melody ('rawaani'). The repeated phrase 'deewani ho gayi' emphasizes her complete surrender to love. The song ends with the imagery of the woman being the only one who has descended into the thoughts of her beloved, surrounded by a divine aura ('noor'), symbolizing purity and sanctity in her love.
