Satyamev Jayate - Will Aamir bring the change ?

[Anorion]

^yeah star plus does a good job of it, they constantly take up these issues in their serials

haven't seen this show yet, didn't like the fact that they used words from the National Emblem no matter how good their cause - those words belong to the show now

- They are collecting DONATION from mobile service providers @ 1/=

- They are asking for voluntary Donation, to be deposited at any AXIS Bank branch.

- Donations collected goes to Ambani Foundation [ NGO ]


I don't think it is a marketing gimmick, b'coz

1. This is a private production.

2. Companies involved such as Ambani's does not need any such marketing...

2. Companies like Airtel, etc are already in the top, no such marketing required.

4. Aamir does not need marketing, in fact, he never uses the media too much.



sponsors are required to air the program.

Aamir Khan is one of the best manipulators of media IMO. Plays them like a fiddle while coming out smelling of roses.

Who says Marketing is a crime?

If you have a wonderful product/message; it is essential that it reaches the masses. And since Satyamev Jayate deserves it, it should.

I think through Satyamev Jayate, Aamir Khan fulfills his personal passsion of exploring India, connecting with people and bringing forth relevant issues to the limelight.

How many of us would have raised even a single voice against female foeticide if it hadn't been for Aamir bringing it to fore. Satyamev Jayate surely can be a vehicle of change through bringing specific issues concerning our nation into our consciousness and giving us steps to take an action.

Coincidence, I've been thinking the same earlier today.

Aamir is not an Activist, he as a normal citizen can do his bit of the shared responsibility but cannot get fully involved it eradicating the EVIL from the society.

I agree

Did anyone see episode on Bad practices by Doctors today? While it stated some of the cruel and shocking facts about them which was obvious to the masses, I think the show should be an eye opener to the governing officials as well as doctors.

 

[krishnandu.sarkar]

I did..!!

I watch all the episodes in evening at youtube

Anyway, thanks that they covered this. Hope our govt. does something regarding this.

The whole Medical System is now corrupted. Need to be fixed from the root.

They showed the real truth, the corrupted doctors, the corrupted hospitals, bills, medicines, laboratories everything. And even a middle class family can't afford a single treatment now because of all this.

He should do a show on driving manners. >.<

Yes ! Let's keep our finger crossed on this on. It is not a cause, but India needs some education on this, b'coz so many people die on the street. Aamir should take this for his show.

 

[Anorion]

just watched fourteen mins of one episode, dont know why its such a big deal or we are pegging the hopes on this tv show. india needs some education on how to watch television. this is jerry springer format, not better than the second-rate stuff on India TV. Find the criticism a lil too harsh because this show is being taken waay too seriously.

OT:
We should make a book on how to convert a 2 lane road to a 4/6 lane road .It might be a best seller

That 4-6 lane road has space for traffic from both sides
And that book would never sell, because this is the only thing these drivers do the best. Why would one buy a book on something they already know?

India is Great and this drivers are the Greatest Hero's ....

Aamir Khan is actor by profession. Not a social activist. He may have other things to do as well. He can't just sit out on some dharna for days together. Even if he does they will say it's a promotional activity for his TV serial or the movie Rang De Basanti.

Infact director Shankar made a movie Called Hindustani starring Kamal Hassan which had this point wherein licenses are issued without proper checks being done.

Perhaps, you did not watch the show! It's the educated ones that are more involved in foeticide. Education alone will not solve the problem. Public awareness is required. That can be achieved through this show.

Sorry for my late reply on this topic. The other day I was talking to a doctor about this Sonography thing and he was saying that there are lot of educated people who are very keen to know about the gender. So Education need not be the only deciding factor.

Well ! you should have read the entire thread first before jumping to say this. I reiterate that Aamir is a celebrity, he is not an activist. Imagine the security risk involved if he decides to seat on fast for days. What he is presently doing is the right way to contribute his share of responsibility towards the society.

Let the issue air first, then we will have a detailed discussion on it. For now you and members can enjoy this :

That is the root of the problem.

Cynics will be Cynics, no matter what. And this forum's full of 'em. I bet if Aamir joins someone for some sort of protest/dharna/fast, someone will pop up and say that he's doing that for his personal interest/gain... FFS, Get a Life!
