Chhote Ustaad - Do Deshon Ki Ek Awaaz was a singing show airing on STAR Plus in India and on Geo Entertainment Television in Pakistan.
Concept
Amul Chhote Ustaad – Do Deshon Ki Awaaz was a singing talent hunt show which brought out the best of the best singing talents from every nook and corner of India and Pakistan. The show was directed by Gajendra Singh Saaibaba Telefilms.
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.
