Ajay-Atul are stars in their own right of Marathi cinema. They have been composing beautiful music for a while now and have also been the rare Marathi composers who have successfully crossed over into the Hindi film industry. Their recent album, Sairat, has also become a rage, so I thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to list my favorite 15 songs of them.This post is not a review of their music, as my knowledge of music is pretty limited, but it is just an attempt to explore the music composed by them over the years which has made them hugely popular in Maharashtra.I am going in reverse chronology.
So, here we go:
Lallati Bhandar
Jogwa won the duo critical acclaim in the form of a national award for the best music directors. This song is a ‘gondhal’ which is a traditional folk form of dramatic narration of mythical stories.The song is about the Goddess Yellamma which is being sung by the ‘devadasis’ in the film. Ajay himself has lent his voice to the song.
