Marathi Gen Z is rediscovering its raunchy roots on Instagram. It started with creator Ayush Jagtap posting reels lip-syncing to old racy hits by singer Anand Shinde. Make no mistake, these are no disgusting rap songs. While the lyrics are always mischievous, they use metaphors and imagery to conjure up a plethora of sexual innuendo.
In one instance, the man politely asks the woman to put her pot under the tap before it spills everywhere. In another, he says that ever since a mynah next door started singing, his parrot has started talking fluently. The horniness comes dressed in art.“Miss neighbour, please let my two boys watch your TV
At least let Babu in, you can keep Gotya outside.”
These are the lyrics in one of the earliest Anand Shinde reels posted by Jagtap. In the song, the children’s names correspond to Marathi slang for male genitalia.“Bro, if you want a crazy vibe, I’d suggest you listen peak Anand Shinde bro,” the young creator said in the video.It got over 24 lakh views, and the comments were filled with skull emojis, laughs, fire icons, and lyrics of other bangers by Shinde. The trend soon picked up, with people posting videos with songs by other artists.In a recent reel, creator @nustekide_ played ‘Shahir Ektach Bhosaricha’, which plays on the unfortunately named Bhosari suburb in Pimpri-Chinchwad. One creator humorously framed Shinde’s ‘Shejarin Bai Tumcha TV’ as discussing a father’s love for his son. And Jagtap has been posting a non-stop spree of lip-syncs to Shinde bangers.The fall of Marathi pride
