Ajay-Atul, are the Indian music composer duo consisting of brothers Ajay Ashok Gogavale and Atul Ashok Gogavale, have made contributions to the music industry. Their work in the Marathi film Jogwa earned them the Best Music Direction award at the 56th National Film Awards in 2008. In 2015, they entered the Forbes India Celebrity 100 List, debuting at the 82nd position, and climbed to 22nd place by 2019. Over the years, they have created music for numerous successful Marathi and Hindi films.
Some of Ajay-Atul's acclaimed works include compositions for the films like Aga Bai Arrecha!, Jatra, Agneepath, Dhadak, Sairat. In 2010, the duo crafted both the songs and the background score for the Marathi film Naṭarang, drawing inspiration from traditional Marathi folk genres such as Lavani, Phaṭakā, and Tamāśā. Their expertise extends to Hindi cinema as well, having composed for films like Singham and Bol Bachchan, both featuring Ajay Devgn and directed by Rohit Shetty, as well as Agneepath and Brothers, produced by Karan Johar and directed by Karan Malhotra. Additionally, they contributed to the soundtrack of the Aamir Khan-led film PK.
In 2016, Ajay-Atul collaborated with director Nagraj Manjule on the film Sairat, which became the only Marathi film to surpass the 1 billion mark in box office collections. They also provided music for Manasu Mallige, the Kannada adaptation of Sairat, and its Hindi remake, Dhadak. Beyond composing, they produced the Marathi film Jaundya Na Balasaheb, directed by Girish Kulkarni. Their portfolio further includes scores for Tumbbad, Thugs of Hindostan, Mauli, and Zero. Notably, the track "Mere Naam Tu".
Recognizing their significant impact, Ajay-Atul were honored with the 'Composer of the Decade' award at the Mirchi Music Awards in 2021 for their work on Agneepath.
