Agneepath (soundtrack)
2011 soundtrack album by Ajay–Atul
Agneepath is the soundtrack album for 2012 film of the same name produced by Hiroo Yash Johar and Karan Johar under Dharma Productions and directed by Karan Malhotra in his directorial debut. The music of Agneepath was composed by Ajay–Atul, with lyrics written by Amitabh Bhattacharya.
Development
The songs were composed with the help of live instrumentation being extensively used. While explaining the process involved in composing the soundtrack, Ajay said that Malhotra narrated the story to them for over four hours, whilst humming the background score that he wanted. This was followed by innumerable discussions which made them "understand each other well". He also mentioned that the song "Chikni Chameli" was a remake of their own Marathi song "Kombadi Palali" from the film Jatra (2006). Sony Music acquired the rights to the album for ₹90 million (US$930,000).
Release
The film's audio was digitally released on 12 December 2011, and a physical release of the album took place on 16 December at the Radio City FM station (Mumbai) with the composer duo, lyricist and the director in attendance.

Reception evidence should be dated and situated: later canonical status may differ sharply from the work’s initial circulation. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 25, 2026.
