Movie Review: Thank You For Coming - 3.5/5

# Palash Muchhal Hits Back: "Baseless" ₹40 Lakh Fraud Claims to Face Legal Firestorm! Imagine pouring your hard-earned money into a dream Bollywood project, only for it to vanish into thin air—or so one man claims. Music composer and filmmaker **Palash Muchhal** is now in the spotlight, vehemently denying explosive allegations of defrauding a Sangli resident of **₹40 lakh**.[1][3] ## The Shocking Allegations Unfold The controversy erupted when Vidnyan Mane (also reported as Vaibhav or Vigyan Mane across reports), a 34-year-old actor-producer from Sangli, Maharashtra, filed a complaint with the local Superintendent of Police. According to Mane, he was introduced to Palash through cricketer **Smriti Mandhana's father** during Palash's visit to Sangli on **December 5, 2023** (some reports cite 2025).[2][3][4] Palash allegedly pitched his upcoming film **Nazariya**, promising Mane a juicy **₹12 lakh profit** on a **₹25 lakh investment**, plus a role in the movie. Mane claims he handed over a total of **₹40 lakh** across meetings by March 2025, but the project stalled, refunds were ignored, and police are now probing preliminarily—no FIR yet.[1][5] Palash wasted no time responding. On his Instagram Stories, he blasted the claims as "**entirely baseless and factually incorrect**," accusing Mane of "**malicious intent to tarnish my reputation**." He's gearing up for battle: "**My lawyer, Shreyansh Mithare, is exploring all legal avenues, and this matter will be dealt with strictly through the appropriate legal channels**."[1][2][3][4]

## Why This Matters in Bollywood's Cutthroat World Palash Muchhal isn't just any name—he's a talented singer-composer behind hits and films like *Nazariya*. But film financing scams aren't new in the industry; investors often chase glamour only to face delays or flops. Is this a genuine grievance or a reputation hit job? Palash insists the latter, vowing the truth will prevail in court. As police dig deeper, Bollywood watches closely—this could set precedents for celebrity-investor disputes.[1][7] What do you think—is Palash being framed, or is there fire behind the smoke? **Drop your thoughts in the comments below, share this post with fellow Bollywood fans, and let's keep the conversation going!**
