Anu Malik (Hindi: अनु मलिक) (born Anwar Malik, 2nd November, 1960) is a music director in the Hindi (or Bollywood) film industry. He has won the National Award for his work in Refugee[1]. His song "Chamma Chamma" from China Gate was used in the English movie Moulin Rouge, starring Nicole Kidman, and "Chunari Chunari" from Biwi No.1 was used in Monsoon Wedding. With his work in crossover films like Bride and Prejudice, he is among the few with international projects to his credit. Anu Malik's debut song was in 1984.
Style of music
He is known to be the most versatile among the Indian music directors, giving music to almost all kinds of films, without being repetitive, which is said to be the reason for his success.
Another specialty of Anu Malik is his choice of singers and lyricists. Unlike his peers, such as Nadeem Shravan, who tend to prefer mainstream singers like Kumar Sanu and popular lyricist Sameer in all their films, Anu Malik has always tried different singers and lyricists. He used singers like Sonu Niigaam (with the song Ke Ghar Kab Aaoge from Border), Kay Kay and Kunal Ganjawala as lead singers in his films, thus adding variety. Many of his hit albums do not have one single lead lyricist, but instead a host of individual lyricists. Anu Malik sometimes uses South Indian singers such as S. P. Balasubramaniam and Chitra.
Singer
Anu Malik also does playback singing for his compositions. Although he is not a mainstream singer, he has a unique style. For a person who was written off as a singer in his early days ("Julie Julie," for instance), he has evolved well, with songs like "Ek Garam Chaye ki Pyali" (Salman Khan), "Gori Gori" in Main Hoon Na or the recent "Meri Jane Jigar" in the film Deewane Huye Pagal. One of his most famous renditions, however, remain "Oonchi hai building" in the very popular Judwaa and rap part of "Yeh Kaali Kaali Aankhen" of Baazigar.
While he sings entire songs for some movies, especially those starring Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar and even Shahid Kapoor (in Deewane Huye pagal he sang almost every song), very often one can hear him in the chorus, like in "Mehbooba Mehebooba" in the film Ajnabi, "Tumse milke dil ka" for the film Main Hoon Na, etc.
He is also known for his singing for his private albums popular among the masses like Dekho baarish ho rahi hai, Tera chehra, Dhua dhua and an English album, Eyes.
