In 2016, they worked in Nagraj Manjule's film Sairat which is the only Marathi film to gross over 1 billion. They have also contributed music to the Aamir Khan starrer PK. They composed music for the Hindi films Singham & Bol Bachchan starring Ajay Devgan and directed by Rohit Shetty and Agneepath & Brothers produced by Karan Johar and directed by Karan Malhotra. Their composition for Naṭarang was influenced by traditional Marathi folk music forms like Lavani (लावणी), Phaṭakā (फटका) and Tamāśā (तमाशा). Ajay-Atul composed the songs and background score for the Marathi film Naṭarang (नटरंग) (2010). They worked on many commercial jingles, ballets, and advertisements to strengthen their profile. This proved to be a big break for them and paved the way for their foray into the Indian (mostly Marathi) music industry.
Later, they came to Mumbai and started working on an international non-film music album "Vishwavinayaka". Their father said, "You have not been given any toys during childhood, now this is your toy." This inspired them and they started experimenting. This proved to be one of their greatest gifts. Their father bought them a keyboard on their mother's insistence. Later, while at college, they started working with local bands as arrangers. They would befriend people who owned instruments like harmoniums, mridangam, dhol etc., since they could not afford them on their own. Despite not getting direct training, they learned a lot from these ventures. As their family could not afford the instruments for their musical endeavors, they started their musical ventures through their school, temples, local bands, etc. Although they were not supported by their family directly for music, they were never denied any assistance. This instance inspired them to explore their music potential. In an NCC competition, Ajay played an existing composition differently, and they won the prize for their experiment. Around this time, they started experimenting with music.
But their interest in music developed while they were still in school. Over their childhood, they were not much attracted towards academics. Atul, the elder of the brothers, was born on 11 September 1974 and Ajay, the younger of the brothers, was born on 21 August 1976. Both were brought up in several villages in western Maharashtra, including Rajgurunagar, Junnar, Shirur, Manchar and Ghodegaon as their father had a transferable job. Ajay and Atul Gogavale were born to Ashok Gogavale, a Revenue Department officer in Alandi in Pune.
