After ''[Duniyadari](/source/Duniyadari)'' his career took higher graph in [Marathi film](/source/Marathi_film) industry. In 2014 he won the International Marathi Film Festival Award for all 3 categories in music section for the movie ''[72 Miles – Ek Pravas](/source/72_Miles)''. == Career == He began his career as an assistant to composer [Monty Sharma](/source/Monty_Sharma), known for his work on films like ''[Devdas](/source/Devdas_(2002_Hindi_film)), [Saawariya](/source/Saawariya)'' and ''[Black](/source/Black_(2005_film))''. He spent over eight years working with Sharma, gaining experience and exposure to [Sanjay Leela Bhansali](/source/Sanjay_Leela_Bhansali)’s grand filmmaking style and understanding of music. After this period, he decided to pursue independent work.{{Cite web |title='मराठीत दाक्षिणात्य-हॉलिवूडच्या तोडीचं संगीत हवं असेल तर...' लोकप्रिय संगीतकाराचं स्पष्ट मत |url=https://marathi.indiatimes.com/entertainment/interview/marathi-music-director-amirat-exclusive-interview-talks-on-marathi-cine-music/articleshow/101630359.cms |access-date= |website=Maharashtra Times}} In 2011, he began composing background scores and title tracks for television serials, contributing to over five shows with more than 200 episodes.

During this time, he connected with filmmaker [Rajiv Patil](/source/Rajiv_Patil), who offered him the opportunity to work on the film ''[72 Miles: Ek Pravas](/source/72_Miles)''. His career took a significant turn when director [Sanjay Jadhav](/source/Sanjay_Jadhav) approached him to compose a sad song for a film.

Amitraj credits this song as a pivotal moment in his career, as it introduced his music to a broader audience.{{Cite web |last= |first= |date=2015-08-29 |title=It is a lifetime association with Sanjaydada : Amit Raj |url=https://marathistars.com/interviews/it-is-a-lifetime-association-with-sanjaydada-amit-raj/ |access-date= |website=MarathiStars |language=en-US}} Since then, he has composed music for various Marathi films, including ''[Classmates](/source/Classmates_(2015_film))'', ''[Mitwaa](/source/Mitwaa)'', ''[Dagadi Chawl](/source/Dagadi_Chawl)'', ''[Poshter Girl](/source/Poshter_Girl)'', ''[Baghtos Kay Mujra Kar](/source/Baghtos_Kay_Mujra_Kar)'', ''[Laal Ishq](/source/Laal_Ishq_(film))'', ''[Farzand](/source/Farzand)'', ''[Hirkani](/source/Hirkani)'', and the recent success ''[Jhimma](/source/Jhimma)'' and ''[Jhimma 2](/source/Jhimma_2).''
