Nikhil–Vinay


Nikhil–Vinay were an Indian music director duo consisting of Nikhil Kamath and Vinay Tiwari. The duo were active in the Hindi film industry from 1991 until their split in 2006.

Nikhil and Vinay are both trained in classical music. Singer Anuradha Paudwal discovered the duo and recommended them to Gulshan Kumar, owner of T-Series music company, and director Chandra Barot, who signed them for the 1991 romantic film Pyar Bhara Dil. The song "Banke Kitab Teri" from the film became popular. The duo then went on to compose music for over 20 films. Their initial successes included Bewafa Sanam (1995), a film which was breakthrough for playback singer Sonu Nigam, English Babu Desi Mem (1996), Uff Yeh Mohabbat (1997) and Papa The Great (2000). The duo composed music for two of Sonu Nigam's successful music albums, Jaan (1999) and Yaad (2001). They went on to score music for Anubhav Sinha's box office success Tum Bin which included hit songs such as "Koi Fariyaad", "Chhoti Choti Raatein" and "Tumhare Siva". Some of their other successful ventures include Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam, Aapko Pehle Bhi Kahin Dekha Hai, Muskaan, Koi Mere Dil Mein Hai and Kuch Dil Ne Kaha. The duo have also been accused of plagiarism by Pakistani singer Faisal Latif.

The composer-duo have mostly worked for the music label T-Series. The duo have also composed for television serials such as Thoda Hai Thodeb Ki Zaroorat Hai and Ajeeb Daastan. The duo split in 2006 after being 15 years together.
