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:
Apsara Ali
Natrang was a wildly popular album with nearly every song as good as another. But in my books Apsara Ali pips all others to become the best song of the album. The orchestration here is just gorgeous. BelaShende low and soft vocals create a great base on which the chorus soars high. One of Ajay-Atul’s best songs!
