Anwar Sardar "Anu" Malik (born 2 November 1960) is an Indian music composer, singer, music arranger and score composer. He is an Indian National Award and Filmfare Award winning musician, who primarily composes music for the Hindi film industry.[1]
Malik started composing in Bollywood with the song "Zulm O Sitam Par Itrane Wale" for the film Hunterwali 77 (1977), before composing his full soundtrack for Poonam (1981). He was noticed for his critically acclaimed music for Sohni Mahiwal (1984) and got his initial breakthrough with Mard (1985). After a few years of success, Malik began to fade due to new style of compositions and new music directors in the 1990s. Malik reinvented his style of composition with fresh music in Phir Teri Kahani Yaad Aayee (1993) and Sir (1993), before getting a major breakthrough with Baazigar (1993). He followed up with several successful soundtracks during the 1990s and early 2000s as one of the top music directors for Bollywood.
Malik has composed soundtrack for more than 300 films and various private albums from 1977 till date and has worked with many lyricists including Anand Bakshi, Javed Akhtar, Sameer, Qateel Shifai, Majrooh Sultanpuri, Varun Grover, Gulzar, Faaiz Anwar, Anjaan, Poovachal Khader and Hasrat Jaipuri.
