All roads in Ludhiana led to the GLADA grounds, where the Grand Finale of Voice of Punjab Season 2 was to begin on 12 August, 2011 at 6:30 pm. It was raining cats and dogs in Ludhiana at the time of the event. The programme began on a high-note with power-packed dance display. Then followed the high-spirited performances of the contestants. The first round of folk songs was followed by the duet song.  Harjinder surpassed the performance of others with his rhythmic presentation of the typical ‘Tappe’. Pardeep from Bathinda apparently had the largest number of supporters in the audience. People were seen holding the posters bearing his name both in English and Punjabi. In the duet round Harjinder from Ludhiana and Baljinder from Patiala enamoured the audience with Nachhatar Gill and Jaspinder Narula’s popular song ‘Pyar ho jauga’. Karan from Ludhiana and Gurpreet from Gurdaspur also performed very well.

The judges this year are Sachin Ahuja, Jagjit Singh, Sarabjeet Kaur and Jasbir Jassi. Satinder Satti and Sahill, the anchors of the programme, took control of the stage with their memorable quotes. Rajiv Thakur had the audience laugh their hearts out with his comedy in his inimitable style. He presented an amusing comparison between the girls from metro cities and those from Punjab. He also took a dig at the married folk and the unmarried. The audience thoroughly enjoyed his performance.
