Taare Zameen Par is an Indian kids singing reality show on StarPlus.[2] It premiered on 2 November 2020 and ended on 30 January 2021.[3] The series was hosted by the child actress Aakriti Sharma and singer Sugandha Mishra with Shankar Mahadevan, Jonita Gandhi and Tony Kakkar as the mentors.[4]

Format

The singing show was initially designed for 20 children who are mentored throughout their progress without elimination process till finale.[5] However, after few weeks, the show had a change in its format and followed the elimination process where each day one low scorer was selected and every Saturday all low scorers compete to make their place. On that day, the lowest scorer is eliminated.[6]

Audition

The auditions were held digitally in the month of March 2020 where first 500 participants were recognized.[7][8]

Mentors

The show had composer and singer Shankar Mahadevan, playback singer Jonita Gandhi and composer, lyricist, singer and producer Tony Kakkar for mentorship.[9]

Production

The title of the series was taken from Aamir Khan's 2007 film Taare Zameen Par after getting rights from them.[10]

In conversation with The Times of India, Sugandha said, "I share a strong connection with kids and really enjoy being around them. I decided to be part of the show because of its unique concept. I thoroughly enjoy hosting as much as I love acting and over the years, I have developed a certain penchant for hosting television shows. I am happy to be a part of a prestigious show and looking forward to witnessing some of the finest performances in this show by a set of equally dynamic kids.”[11]
