Over the years, they have become renowned for their work in numerous Bollywood movies, delivering hit soundtracks and background scores that resonate with audiences.

The duo has an impressive portfolio that includes composing for films, theatre, and television, as well as crafting anthems for prominent events and working with a slew of international artists.
