Amaal Mallik vs Tanishk Bagchi: Saiyaara Credit War Erupts

Studio CarryOnHarry Entertainment Desk | 27 July 2026

Bollywood’s music world has been rocked by a fierce public spat after singer-composer Amaal Mallik unleashed a scathing online attack against music composer Tanishk Bagchi, accusing him of wrongfully claiming credit for the popular song Saiyaara. In a series of now-deleted social media posts, Amaal did not hold back, branding Tanishk as the so-called ‘destroyer of originals’ — a pointed jab at the composer’s known reputation for recreating classic Bollywood tracks.

The posts, which circulated rapidly across social media before being taken down, contained what witnesses described as serious and pointed allegations. Music lovers and industry insiders were quick to screenshot and share the content, turning the controversy into one of the hottest trending topics in the entertainment space almost overnight.

It is important to note that these are unverified claims originating solely from Amaal Mallik’s perspective. As of the time of writing, Tanishk Bagchi has not issued any public statement addressing the accusations, and the allegations have not been independently corroborated by any third party.

Social media, as always, has been ablaze with opinions. Fans of both composers have lined up on opposing sides, with some supporting Amaal’s call for original artists to receive proper recognition, while others questioned the timing and the decision to eventually delete the posts. The fact that the allegations were retracted raises further questions about what truly transpired behind the scenes.

The broader debate around music recreation versus original composition in Bollywood is not new, but this very public clash between two prominent names has once again brought it sharply into focus. Whether this dispute will be resolved privately or spill further into the public domain remains to be seen.

Studio CarryOnHarry will continue to monitor this developing story closely. All claims should be treated as unverified until an official response or clarification emerges from either party.

Harry Johal’s Take

The deletion is the most revealing detail here – public allegations that are retracted without explanation rarely close a story, they open one. If Amaal Mallik had solid ground to stand on, pulling the posts suggests either legal pressure or a private negotiation has already begun. The industry will read the silence from both sides not as resolution, but as the quiet before a more formal reckoning.
