Amaal Mallik says his mother saw poverty after father Daboo Malik's failed career: ‘She was down to last ₹500'
Music composer Amaal Mallik grabbed headlines when he broke ties with his family and announced it on social media. In a recent interview with Siddharth Kannan, Amaal talked about his parents' financial condition. He recalled how his father Daboo Malik's failure in the music industry led him to be a composer. Amaal Mallik talks about his parents facing poverty. Amaal Mallik on parents' financial struggle Amaal recalled how her mother navigated the financial struggles and said, "My mother saw a lot of bad times and poverty because nothing worked out for my dad in the industry. She would guide us to do music, but never as a profession. She has seen the worst; she was down to the last ₹500. Mere liye aisa tha ki main ek 10 saal ka baccha yeh witness kar raha hun ki ek couple crumble ho raha hai. Inki jagah nahi bann rahi industry (For me, it was like being a 10-year-old child witnessing a couple fall apart. They weren't able to find their place in the industry), and those things added fuel to the fire that I really want to be a music composer just for my father. Otherwise, I wanted to be a cricketer." Amaal revealed that his mother often considered him 'foolish' for his approach to spending on music. He admitted to consistently exceeding budgets for his songs—if he received ₹20 lakh, he would end up spending ₹25 lakh; for a ₹30 lakh budget, he would push it to ₹35 lakh, often adding ₹5 lakh from his own pocket. According to Amaal, his mother didn't understand the reasoning behind such decisions and was uncomfortable with the fact that he wouldn't save money. He revealed that though his father knows everything about his money spending, he often tend to hide his dinner bills from his mother if they exceed a certain limit. Amaal further claimed that a lot of big producers won't clear almost 40 per cent of his payment, adding, 'I am owed around ₹25 lakh in total, but it doesn't matter because God has been kind, and you can make this in one night and one performance.' About Amaal Mallik Amaal made his debut as a music composer with Salman Khan's film Jai Ho. He went on to compose music in films like Khoobsurat, Baaghi, Golmaal Again, Kabir Singh and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, among others.

Kapkapiii Box Office Day 1: Shreyas Talpade's Horror Comedy Off To A Slow Start
Last Updated: Tusshar Kapoor and Shreyas Talpade have previously shared the screen space in Golmaal Returns, Golmaal 3 and Golmaal Again. Kapkapiii, the Shreyas Talpade and Tusshar Kapoor starrer horror-comedy, has made a lackluster debut at the box office. Released on limited screens, the film couldn't gather much audience despite giving special offers like Buy-One-Get-One for the opening weekend. According to the film minted a total of Rs 26 Lakh Nett India on Day 1. The major reason for the low numbers could be its stiff competition from big projects like Bhool Chuk Maaf, featuring RajKummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi, as well as Kesari Veer: The Legends of the Somnath, starring Sooraj Pancholi. Some of the other holdover releases, including Ajay Devgn's Raid 2, Akshay Kumar's Kesari 2, Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible 8 and Final Destination: Bloodlines, are too big competitors for the horror-comedy due to their exceptional performance on the big screen. However, going by the positive word-of-mouth of the critics and viewers, Kapkapiii is expected to gain momentum in the coming days. Directed by Sangeeth Sivan, the film is an official Hindi remake of the Malayalam film Romancham and also features celebs like Siddhi Idani, Jay Thakkar, Sonia Rathee and Varun Pandey in significant roles. Kapkapiii marked Sivan's collaboration with Tusshar after a long gap of 19 years. They had previously worked together in Kya Kool Hain Hum, while the director joined hands with Shreyas Talpade in the 2006 comedy-drama Apna Sapna Money Money. The director lost his life during the making of Kapkapiii, while the film was in post-production. Recently, in a chat with Zoom, Tusshar mourned his demise and said, 'This is a sensitive topic for all of us. We are still in disbelief. The shock and emotional overwhelm are not intended to carry his legacy or memories forward. Unfortunately, he's not here to enjoy the film." The film follows a group of friends who, while experimenting with an Ouija board, unintentionally trigger paranormal activity in their shared home. This results in a series of spooky and hilarious events, blending horror with comedy. Tusshar and Shreyas have previously shared the screen space in Rohit Shetty's Golmaal Returns, Golmaal 3 and Golmaal Again. They will be reuniting again for Welcome…To The Jungle, co-starring Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal and others. First Published:
