Mumbai, June 20, 2018 (Akash Sharma): They say, “Music is the language of the heart.” And every heart which beats to the music of India, is a Dil that is Hindustani! All such Hindustani hearts, from the corners of the globe, are set to come together and celebrate Indian culture and music, on the platform called Dil Hai Hindustani. Buoyed by the success of its first season, the show returns with its second season on India’s most loved television channel, Star Plus.
Featuring talented singers and musicians from nations like Russia, Poland, Canada, Kenya as well as India, the show promises to be an extravaganza celebrating the rich musical heritage of India. The audience will be witness to dazzling performances of popular Indian songs, with each participant adding his/her own characteristic spin to it, thus creating a delightful fusion of the traditional and the contemporary.

Judging the performances, will be a troika of India’s most popular and celebrated musicians – Pritam, Sunidhi Chauhan and Baadshah – searching for the international ambassador of Indian music.
Waxing eloquent the show, popular rapper Baadshah says, “After being stupefied by the talent last season, I am glad to be associated with this unique show yet again. It requires real talent to match up to the standards set by the Indian singers, given the variety of music produced in our industry. It's not just the best ‘awaaz’, but also the best ‘andaaz’ that I am looking for. So I will ensure that the talents on board are not only good singers, but great entertainers who would keep the audience enthralled throughout the season.”
Ace singer Sunidhi Chauhan concurs, "Dil Hai Hindustani 2 is a refreshing concept. Witnessing non-Indians joyously performing Indian songs, not only made me proud of the universality of Indian music, but also the aspirational value India holds in the world. I am really excited to be part of this grand celebration of our country and its music.”
India’s most loved and successful music composer, Pritam adds, “I am thrilled to have an opportunity to curate performances based on talent from 'across the globe'.I am always on the lookout for talented musicians to add to our music platform Jam8. It is rare to find a platform which celebrates Indian music on a global stage, entertaining the world with extraordinary 'desi' performances. Judging a talent show is not a new phenomenon for me but the idea of putting together a ‘performance’ will be very interesting to watch for us as judges."
The show will be hosted by new-age livewires on television - Raghav Juyal and Mukti Mohan.
