Animated Series Krish, Trish & Baltiboy: Bharat Hain Hum Renewed

A second season of Krish, Trish & Baltiboy: Bharat Hain Hum is coming to Doordarshan in India, Prime Video and Netflix.

The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting of India debuted the new season at the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa. The animated series, which celebrates India’s lesser-known freedom fighters, will be available in 12 Indian languages—including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Punjabi, Marathi, Gujarati, Bengali, Assamese and Odia—and seven international languages—French, German, Spanish, Russian, Korean, Chinese and Arabic.

Season two continues the mission to highlight unsung heroes from all across the country, including Taji Dele and Ponge Dele from Arunachal Pradesh, Wazir Ram Singh Pathania from Himachal Pradesh, and Birsa Munda from Jharkhand, among others.

Nagarjuna was on hand at the event along with Shri Sanjay Jaju, secretary of information and broadcasting; Shri Gaurav Dwivedi, CEO of Prasar Bharati; Shri Yogesh Baweja, director-general of CBC; creators of the show Munjal Shroff and Tilak Shetty of Graphiti Studios; Shilangi Mukherji, director and head of SVOD at Prime Video India; and Mahima Kaul, director of public policy at Netflix India.

Jaju said: “The diversity of India’s freedom struggle needs to be communicated in ways that appeal to children. By using animation, we’re making these rich histories not only accessible but also engaging. Through these animated stories, we’re offering young minds a chance to learn about the unsung heroes who played pivotal roles in shaping India’s destiny.”

Mukherji added: “We are delighted to launch a new season of Krish, Trish & Baltiboy: Bharat Hain Hum on Prime Video starting December 1. The series beautifully highlights the invaluable contribution of several heroes who played a significant part in India’s freedom struggle, giving viewers in India and around the world a chance to learn more about our rich history.”

Mukherji continued: “We would like to congratulate the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (MIB), Central Bureau of Communication and Graphiti Studios for producing this wonderful series. The series is a significant step in our efforts to foster the growth of India’s creative economy and give Indian stories a global showcase. We are confident that the new season will be as well-received by our viewers as the first season.”

Nagarjuna said: “I have grown up watching a lot of mythology and stories of Shri Ram, Lakshman, Bharat, and Arjun, but stories of our freedom fighters who sacrificed their lives for our country are equally important. With the new show Bharat Hai Hum, the children and the next generation will get to know about our heroes.”

Shroff and Shetty commented, “The stories of India’s unsung heroes have often been overshadowed, but through this series, we aim to ensure that their contributions are remembered and celebrated by the younger generation. It’s not just a story of the past; it’s a lesson for today’s youth to understand the values of courage, resilience and patriotism.”
