# Amitraj

Amitraj Sawant is a Marathi music director-composer and singer from Mumbai. After Duniyadari his career took higher graph in Marathi film industry. In 2014 he won the International Marathi Film Festival Award for all 3 categories in music section for the movie 72 Miles – Ek Pravas.

## Career

He began his career as an assistant to composer Monty Sharma, known for his work on films like Devdas, Saawariya and Black. He spent over eight years working with Sharma, gaining experience and exposure to Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s grand filmmaking style and understanding of music. After this period, he decided to pursue independent work.
In 2011, he began composing background scores and title tracks for television serials, contributing to over five shows with more than 200 episodes. While the work provided financial stability, he described it as less creatively fulfilling. During this time, he connected with filmmaker Rajiv Patil, who offered him the opportunity to work on the film 72 Miles: Ek Pravas.
His career took a significant turn when director Sanjay Jadhav approached him to compose a sad song for a film. The resulting track, "Deva Tujhya Gabharyala", from the movie Duniyadari, became a popular hit and brought Amitraj widespread recognition in Marathi cinema. Amitraj credits this song as a pivotal moment in his career, as it introduced his music to a broader audience.
Since then, he has composed music for various Marathi films, including Classmates, Mitwaa, Dagadi Chawl, Poshter Girl, Baghtos Kay Mujra Kar, Laal Ishq, Farzand, Hirkani, and the recent success Jhimma and Jhimma 2. Expanding his horizons, Amitraj is also set to compose music for upcoming Hindi films and series.
