Anwar Sardar Malik (born 2 November 1960), best known as Anu Malik, is an Indian Music Director and Singer. He is an Indian National Award and Filmfare Award winning music director, who primarily composes Bollywood music for the Hindi film industry.[3] Known as one of the mega music composers of 90s in India, he is the son of Sardar Malik. Anu Malik made his debut as a music composer in 1980 with the film Hunterwali 77. He is also the only Music Director in Bollywood to win Filmfare Special Award(For the movie Refugee).

Malik had been judging the television show Indian Idol[4] since its inception until October 2018 when he left the show following allegations of sexual harassment.[5]

As a music director, he has composed music for various genres of films,[6][7] and has created several commercially successful songs for the Hindi (Bollywood) film music industry. Malik is known for the use of the tabla in his songs, including "Taal Pe Ja"' and "Mere Humsafar" from the film Refugee, "Tumse Milke Dilka Jo Haal" from Main Hoon Na, "Eli Re Eli" from Yaadein and "Baazigar O Baazigar" from the film Baazigar.

In 1993, Malik created the songs for Mahesh Bhatt’s Sir and Phir Teri Kahaani Yaad Aayee, along with music for Baazigar, Main Khiladi Tu Anari (1994) and Akele Hum Akele Tum (1995). Later, his music for Virasat (1997) and Border (1997) and his songs for Indra Kumar's Ishq (1997) were commercially successful. This was followed by the music for Jaanam Samjha Karo (1999), Baadshah (1999), Josh (2000), Refugee (2000), Har Dil Jo Pyaar Karega (2000) and Fiza (2000).

In 2001, Malik gave music in the films like Mujhe Kuch Kehna Hai, Aks, Ajnabee, Yaadein and Aśoka. In 2004, he composed the music for Main Hoon Na (2004), Fida (2004) and Murder (2004). His recent work includes music for Kambakkht Ishq, Shootout at Wadala, Yamla Pagla Deewana and Dum Laga Ke Haisha.[8]

Style of music

The movie Baazigar and Main Hoon Na received the Filmfare Award for Best Music Direction.

"The music of Asoka has a rhythm and life of its own as it recreates a heady mix of powerful sensuousness. The high point of "San Sanana" is the interesting use of the mridang. Sensuality casts its spell in "Raat Ka Nasha" as immensely engaging track. "Roshni Se" is a rich composition, which includes some awesome Buddhist chanting and the intriguing vocal chemistry between Abhijeet and Alka Yagnik. "O Re Kanchi" captures the earthy feel of Oriya music, in addition to some funky drumbeats and enthusiastic vocals. "Aa Tayar Hoja" proves to be a fast-paced, upbeat track that promises to grow on you after a couple of hearings."[9]

Collaborations

Malik and Alisha Chinai jointly composed the commercially successful singles "Sexy Sexy" and "Ruk Ruk Ruk" from Vijaypath, "Chot Dil Pe Lagi" from Ishq Vishk and the songs from Love Story 2050.

His collaborations with Indian film lyricist Javed Akhtar have included songs from Border in 1997, Refugee in 2000, LOC Kargil in 2003, and Umrao Jaan in 2006.

During the 80s, he mostly worked with singers such as Mohammad Aziz, Shabbir Kumar, Manhar Udhas, Suresh Wadkar, Nitin Mukesh and Anwar.

Kumar Sanu and Alka Yagnik sang in most of the singles composed by Malik. This trio collaborated on films such as Sir, Phool Aur Angaar, Phir Teri Kahani Yaad Aayee, Vijaypath, Baazigar, Main Khiladi Tu Anari, Imtihaan, Chamatkar, Gambler, Akele Hum Akele Tum, Duplicate, Kareeb, Soldier, Aarzoo, Ishq Vishk and Fida. Sanu and Yagnik were regular singers for Anu Malik and Malik created many songs individually with Sanu such as "Aaine Ke Sau Tukde" from Maa (1991) and the single "Yeh Kaali Kaali Aankhen" from Baazigar (1993) (Malik sang the rap part of the song) among others. It was Sanu's first Western song.

Malik's song "Chamma Chamma" from China Gate was also used in the U.S. (Hollywood) film Moulin Rouge! starring Nicole Kidman. "Chunari Chunari" from Biwi No.1 was also used in the film Monsoon Wedding.

Following the death of music director R. D. Burman, Malik has completed music for Burman's unfinished film projects Gang and Ghatak.

Television

Malik remained one of the judges on the TV show Indian Idol throughout each season till it ended. In the first two seasons, he was accompanied by Sonu Nigam and Farah Khan, and in the third by Alisha Chinai, Udit Narayan and Javed Akhtar. He was a judge in the first Asian Idol held in Indonesia, representing Indian Idol. He appeared on Indian Idol 4 with Sonali Bendre, Kailash Kher and Javed Akhtar. After that, he appeared as a judge with Sunidhi Chauhan and Salim Merchant in Indian Idol 5.

Farah Khan and Malik were the judges for Entertainment Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega, a variety entertainment reality show that airs on Sony Entertainment Television (India) on weekdays.

Malik was the only judge from India on Asian Idol, who represented Indian Idol winner Abhijeet Sawant, with other judges Indra Lesmana, Paul Moss, Pilita Corrales, Ken Lim and Siu Black. He is also the judge (with Farah Khan & Sonu Nigam) of the Indian Idol 7 (2016–17).

Singer

Although he is not a mainstream singer, Malik does playback singing[11] for his compositions. Written off as a singer in his early days ("Julie Julie," for instance), he continues to sing his own compositions, with songs such as "Ek Garam Chaye ki Pyali" from the movie Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega, "Gori Gori" in Main Hoon Na or the recent "Meri Jane Jigar" in Deewane Huye Paagal. Among his works are "Oonchi Hai Building"[12] and "East or West India is the best" from the movie Judwaa.[13] and the rap part of "Yeh Kaali Kaali Aankhen" of Baazigar.

While he sings entire songs for some movies, especially those starring Sunil Shetty, Paresh Rawal, Akshay Kumar and Shahid Kapoor (in Deewane Huye Paagal he sang almost every song), and has also sung as part of a chorus in "Mehbooba Mehbooba" in the film Ajnabee, and "Tumse Milke Dilka Jo Haal" for Main Hoon Na.

His albums include Dekho Barish Ho Rahi Hai, Tera Chehra, Dhua Dhua and an English album, Eyes.

Personal life

Malik is married to Anju.[14] They have two daughters: Ada Malik and Anmol Malik. Anmol Malik is also a Bollywood playback singer.

Controversies

Pakistani Qawwali musician Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan has claimed that Anu Malik has copied some of his songs, including "Mera Piya Ghar Aaya" in Yaarana (1995) which was allegedly identical to Khan's song of the same name.[15] Khan was reportedly tolerant towards Malik and other Bollywood music directors getting inspired by his songs.[16][17] In one interview, Khan jokingly gave "Best Copy" awards to Viju Shah and Anu Malik.[18] In his defense, Malik claimed that he loved Khan's music and was actually showing admiration by using his tunes.[17] However, Khan was reportedly aggrieved when Malik turned his spiritual "Allah Hoo, Allah Hoo" into "I Love You, I Love You" in Auzaar.[16] Khan said "he has taken my devotional song Allahu and converted it into I love you. He should at least respect my religious songs."[17]

In October 2018, Anu Malik was accused of sexual harassment by some women in separate claims out of which two were anonymous and their identity&claim is not verified yet, as a part of the Me Too movement in India.[19] For the allegation of singer Shweta Pandit, the renowned lyricist Sameer in support of Anu Malik, penned a long note on his Twitter account and wrote that he was present when Shweta and her mother visited the recording studio. He also said how Anu asked Shweta to sing in front of all instead of singing in other room. His tweet reads, "This is really shocking and sad that today people can pass any comment without any proof".[20] The prominent singer Sonu Nigam in an interview also backed Anu Malik by saying that the allegation have been made against him without giving any proof, and used the term "Jungle Raj" for alleging someone arbitrarily without giving any proof and snatching their bread&butter. Moreover, he also claimed to have seen from his eyes the recent regular well-wishing messages coming on Anu Malik's mobile from one of the women who had alleged Malik for misconduct.[21] Following the public backlash he no longer served as a judge for Indian Idol,[22][23] but denied the allegations.[19]
