Ajay-Atul, a renowned Indian music composer duo comprising of the brothers Ajay Ashok Gogavale and Atul Ashok Gogavale, are known for their work in the Bollywood film industry. They started their career with the non-film album "Vishwavinayaka", a big break for them, creating a niche in the musical arena with their exceptional music compositions and tracks.
They gained wider recognition with the film "Jogwa" in 2009, for which they won the National Film Award for Best Music Direction. Since then, the duo has worked on many commercial jingles, ballets, and advertisements. They have also composed music for Bollywood Movies like Tanhaji, Panipat, Super 30, Zero, PK, Agneepath, Singham, Sairat, and Ved. They were awarded 'Composer of the Decade' at the Mirchi Music Awards 2021 for Agneepath and Sairat.
Ajay-Atul’s fusion of folk forms with western instrumentation and pulsating rhythms breathe new life into traditional music styles. Their soundtrack, “Tharki Chokro” from PK, released in 2014, stood out for its bawdy mix of lyrics and Rajasthani folk elements. Their superhit song ‘Zingaat’ from the movie Sairat was the 1st Marathi song to be recognised worldwide. They were the first Indian music directors to record their music at Sony scoring studios in Hollywood for the same. They are also the first Indian music director duo to be invited to perform at the prestigious Royal Albert Hall in London. Apart from composing & Playback singing, the distinctive duo has done many staged live performances globally. They are like a rare combination, complimenting each other perfectly, leaving their spectators speechless.
