Cinema VinesIn a fresh flare of controversy, music composer Amaal Mallik has publicly accused fellow composer‑singer Tanishk Bagchi of a series of alleged misconducts, ranging from plagiarism to personal betrayal. Mallik, who has previously criticised Bagchi for copying music and claiming credit for others’ work, now claims the latter has used the name of Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to issue threats and has promised to marry a woman from the A&R department at Tips Music, only to abandon her and marry someone else.
After Bagchi responded to Mallik’s earlier allegations with a conciliatory message that read, “Brother, I know what you are going through, and I have a lot of respect for you as an artist. Get well soon,” Mallik intensified the feud by posting a new Instagram Story. In it he wrote, “Did you bury the Me‑Too case? There was a woman in the A&R department at Tips Music whom you allegedly promised to marry, then abused and abandoned, and today you’ve married someone else. Pity the woman who chose someone like you!” He also demanded that Bagchi stop issuing indirect threats in the name of Devendra Fadnavis, stating, “Don’t try all this with me.”
Further, Mallik threatened legal action, stating, “I’m not afraid when I’m not wrong. If you want to get dirty with me, come at me. The school where you couldn’t even become a peon, I am the principal, trustee and music teacher there. Let’s meet in court. If you really want to take this forward, come on.” He added that he had never intended to drag anyone’s name into the controversy, but after ten years of silence he was ready to confront Bagchi head‑on.
Bagchi’s response to the latest allegations has not yet been released, but the exchange has already drawn attention from industry insiders and fans alike. Both parties have used social media to amplify their claims, with Mallik’s posts featuring the hashtag #MeToo and direct references to the political figure allegedly used as a threat. The situation remains volatile, with both composers threatening court action and the potential for further public statements.
As the dispute unfolds, industry observers note that the accusations touch on sensitive issues such as sexual misconduct, misuse of political influence, and professional ethics within the music business. The case is expected to develop over the coming weeks, with both composers likely to seek legal counsel and prepare for possible litigation. The broader community will be watching closely to see how the allegations are addressed and whether any formal investigations are launched by industry bodies or law enforcement agencies.
