On the occasion of Amaal Mallik’s 35th birthday, let us look at the impressive musical journey of one of India’s most talented music composers and playback singers.

Amaal, the eldest son of Daboo Malik and Jyoti Mallik, was born on June 16, 1990, into a musical family. He is the singer Armaan Malik's older brother.

Amaal made his debut with the 2014 film Jai Ho, writing the upbeat party song "Jai Jai Jai Ho" for the Salman Khan film. However, Hero (2015)'s soulful song "Main Hoon Hero Tera" was what really made him famous. The song, which was sung by Salman Khan himself, quickly became a classic and demonstrated Amaal's talent for writing moving tunes.

His compositions in the film M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story (2016) received a lot of praise, particularly for songs like "Kaun Tujhe," sung by Palak Muchhal, which brilliantly captured the emotional depth of the movie. Even today, listeners are moved by his brother Armaan Malik's performance of "Jab Tak," another standout track from the same soundtrack.
