Amaal Mallik Marks 12 Years In Bollywood As One Of Hindi Cinema’s Most Influential Music Voices

Amaal Mallik has completed 12 years in the Indian music industry, marking a journey shaped by memorable melodies, commercial success, and a strong sense of artistic purpose.

Since making his debut in 2014 with Jai Ho, the composer-singer has emerged as one of Hindi cinema’s most versatile musical voices. Over the years, he has delivered music for some of Bollywood’s most popular films, including Kabir Singh, Airlift, and De De Pyaar De, building a catalogue that resonates equally with audiences and critics.

While Amaal comes from a distinguished musical lineage, his career has not been without challenges. He has spoken openly about navigating industry pressures and the perception of “reverse nepotism,” often emphasising that his growth has been earned through persistence rather than privilege.

Beyond film soundtracks, Amaal has steadily expanded his identity as a solo artist and collaborator, exploring genres that extend past mainstream Bollywood. Songs such as Kaun Tujhe, Soch Na Sake, and Main Rahoon Ya Na Rahoon have become defining anthems of contemporary Hindi film music, cementing his emotional connect with listeners.

Reflecting on the milestone, Amaal has highlighted the importance of resilience, self-awareness, and staying true to one’s creative voice. “When I look back at these 12 years, I don’t just see songs, I see a journey of learning through every high and low,” he said. “Music has been my constant. I’ve grown not just as an artist, but as a person, and I believe my best work is still ahead.”

This milestone year also sees Amaal expanding his creative pursuits, reconnecting with audiences through new collaborations, and pushing the boundaries of his craft with fresh musical explorations.
