The Indian Jam Project started the trend of playing Hollywood's greatest scores on Indian classical instruments. Founded in 2014 by film composer Tushar Lall, the band has played 500+ shows, passed 100 million views online, and been commissioned by Netflix and Warner Bros. It is the only Indian classical act jamming live with AI.

Game of Thrones on a sitar. Mission: Impossible on a tabla. The Indian Jam Project, the act that started the trend in 2014, is an ensemble of concert-trained Hindustani classical musicians who rebuild the world's most famous film scores inside the rules of Indian classical music. Film and series composer Tushar Lall (Netflix, Amazon, Dharma Productions) founded the band in 2014 after studying music production in New York. Since then it has played more than 500 shows across every major Indian city, with sold-out tours in Germany, the Middle East, Southeast Asia and Korea. Its videos have passed 100 million views. Netflix commissioned its Squid Game piece and Warner Bros. its Superman theme. The band appears in The Sound of 007, the official James Bond music documentary, alongside Hans Zimmer and Billie Eilish, and its musicians played the Indian classical soundscape of Brahmastra. It is the only Indian classical act jamming live with AI on stage.

Game of Thrones on a sitar. Mission: Impossible on a tabla. Titanic on a bansuri. Harry Potter on a sarangi. The Indian Jam Project takes the most recognisable film music in the world and plays it on the instruments of Hindustani classical music. It was the first act to do so, and a whole wave of acts has since followed the format.

The band was founded in 2014 by Tushar Lall, a film and series composer with credits for Netflix, Amazon and Dharma Productions, shortly after he returned from studying music production in New York. It was built on one idea: an instrument that can play a raga can play a film score. The ensemble is made of musicians who have spent their lives in Indian classical training. They do not simply cover film themes on unusual instruments. Each piece is rebuilt from the ground up inside the grammar of Indian classical music, and a Hollywood theme is treated with the same seriousness the players bring to their own tradition.

Audiences respond to the moment of recognition: a theme they have known all their lives arriving through a sarangi. The band has built twelve years of work on that moment, pairing the discipline of the classical stage with the scale of a modern live act. It has played more than 500 shows across every major city in India, from concert halls and festivals to corporate stages and college circuits, with sold-out tours in Germany, the Middle East, Southeast Asia and Korea.

The studios have taken notice. Netflix commissioned the band's Squid Game piece, now past 5 million views, and Warner Bros. followed with a Superman theme that has passed 10 million. Corning Gorilla Glass commissioned its tribute to Imagine Dragons' Believer, which Imagine Dragons called "an ingenious take". The Indian Jam Project is featured in The Sound of 007, the official James Bond music documentary, alongside Hans Zimmer and Billie Eilish, and its musicians performed the entire Indian classical soundscape of Brahmastra, composed by Lall. It also collaborates with the global music movement Playing For Change.

Its corporate clients include Google, Microsoft, Meta, LinkedIn, Tata, L&T, Canon, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, SAP, GroupM and ElevenLabs. Since 2025 the band has also performed the AI act: a prompt goes to an AI model on stage, the machine answers with a musical loop, and the band builds a full fusion performance on top of it. It has played the AI act for ElevenLabs, LinkedIn, SAP, Godrej and Sangam.

Across YouTube and social platforms its work has passed 100 million views, with 365,000 YouTube subscribers and more than 500,000 followers across social media (October 2026).
