Mumbai, May 2025 — Some stories don’t need grand sets or dramatic turns to strike a chord they just need honesty. And Khali Lifafa, Sandeep Malik’s deeply personal film, does just that.

Slated for release on May 11, 2025, this heartfelt story arrives just in time for Mother’s Day. Written by and starring Sandeep Malik, and directed by Yogesh Kumar Mishra, the film gently peels back the layers of a relationship most of us take for granted, the quiet, unwavering love of a mother.

Inspired by real life events, Khali Lifafa follows the emotional journey of a son who moves abroad in search of better opportunities, leaving behind the woman who once built his world with her bare hands. The story captures what’s left unsaid in most families: the longing, the loneliness, and the unconditional love that endures in silence.

What makes the film even more personal is the song “Mai Re”, written by Malik’s own mother, Prem Malik, and sung by Sandeep himself. The track—already touching hearts online with over 3 million views—has become an anthem for those missing home, especially mothers.

“_Khali Lifafa isn’t just a film—it’s a piece of my heart. I wanted to tell a story that reminds us to pause and reconnect with the people who made us who we are. For me, that’s my mother.”_says Sandeep Malik. 

In a world obsessed with speed, ambition, and upward mobility, Khali Lifafa is a tender reminder of the emotional costs of distance, of phone calls not made, letters never sent, and lifafas left empty.

With buzz building steadily, Khali Lifafa is already being hailed as one of the year’s most touching indie releases. It’s a film for every child who moved away, and every mother who waited.
