The blockbuster song “Bekhayali” from the film Kabir Singh (2019) has recently become the center of a significant and very public credit dispute between the composing duo Sachet-Parampara (Sachet Tandon and Parampara Tandon) and fellow music composer Amaal Mallik. The heart of the matter lies in conflicting claims over who originally created the track, leading to a heated public exchange, with Sachet-Parampara strongly defending their ownership of the hit song.
The controversy was sparked by Amaal Mallik’s repeated suggestion in various media interactions that “Bekhayali” was not entirely an original composition by the duo credited with it. Amaal Mallik alleged that the melody or a reference track for “Bekhayali” was based on an older composition of his, which he had supposedly shared with the team—perhaps over a messaging platform like WhatsApp—during the production of the Kabir Singh album.
Mallik’s statements implied that the final song composed by Sachet-Parampara either borrowed heavily from or was a minor variation of his original idea, suggesting an inappropriate access or misuse of his work. Mallik’s claims also touched upon the dynamics of the music industry, hinting at favoritism or an unfair advantage given to certain composers by major music labels, which allegedly led to his composition being overlooked or appropriated.
Sachet-Parampara’s Vehement Defense
In response to Amaal Mallik’s claims, Sachet-Parampara released a detailed public statement and video, vehemently denying the allegations and asserting that “Bekhayali” is “entirely a Sachet and Parampara original composition.”
The duo insisted that every single element of the song—the melody, the arrangement, the composition, and the lyrics—was created during collaborative working sessions. They specifically pointed out that the entire Kabir Singh team, including actor Shahid Kapoor and director Sandeep Reddy Vanga, was present during the song’s development. This process, they claim, thoroughly validates their original credit.
Expressing deep disappointment that the repeated allegations have tarnished their professional reputation, Sachet-Parampara not only demanded a public apology from Amaal Mallik but also warned that they were ready to pursue legal action if he continued to make unsubstantiated claims.
The confrontation has escalated into a serious public dispute, dividing fans and industry observers. Sachet-Parampara maintain that their work is pure and original, backed by their creation process with the film’s core team, and the contradicting congratulatory messages they allegedly received from Mallik. Mallik, on the other hand, stands by his claim that the track was based on his original idea. To know such latest updates, stay tuned to tellyboosters.com Thank you!
