.directed by gajendra singh
India vs. Pakistan has always been a nail-biting experience to watch, but now India and Pakistan are fighting for each other. Two outstanding singers from each country — Sonu Nigam
and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan — searched for the most extraordinary talents between the ages of 8 to 14 years. Promising voices came together on one musical platform to win this battle. Ten teams competed against each other weekly to win the title of Chhote Ustaad.
The show was an emotion-packed ride full of entertainment, innocence, fun and frolic. Apart from good singing, the audience witnessed heart-wrenching stories of partition, the coming together of a village boy and a city dude, the rich and the poor, the meeting of two families and cultures and two strangers becoming the best of friends.
