Satyamev Jayate - Aamir Khan's first TV show

[beetle]

The only thing I am trying to say is - at the end of the day' date=' it is still a frigging television show that needs to its very basic job - entertain. And that it does not, for the reasons I suggested earlier. Why does it have to be judged as anything more than a form of entertainment? The nobility - which in itself I am unsure of given that I think he is just milking the country and his image but am willing to let that be - behind it is only an additional topping. If the pizza is made out of a Pillsbury can of pre-kneaded dough, the awesomeness of the toppings stops to matter. The classic example is of Swades. For all its nobility in thought, it is still a flawed film because it does not entertain me enough. Perhaps if the film released today with Aamir in the lead, it might run to packed houses with all hailing Aamir Khan. That, in itself, is a lot more food for thought I think.[/quote'] You want dead foetuses to entertain? You expect a show about child sexual abuse to entertain? With so many skeptics on this forum...no wonder this country has become the shithole that it is now.

i didnt watched show...but did they showed whats the root cuase for killing girl child @ womb.... Also how poor were the participants and how many kids they already had..

Dumdum...you will be surprised that the most drastic reduction in no. of little girls in Delhi is in the affluent and educated regions.These people have easy access to sex determination clinics and abortions too.The poor are more likely to be the ones who dump the poor helpless child in dusbins and sewer because they couldn't get the sex determined earlier.

Why do people always use the term "entertain" to only happy things? Entertain me = keep me engaged. TV is a medium of entertainment, and that is always the most basic pre-requisite for any show.

missed it again.they need to shift the timings:mad:

You can watch it on Youtube itself in various languages. Here are the various channels where the show is live immediately. I am mentioning the official channels below where they are legally uploaded though various others are also uploading it on Youtube. These three for original Hindi show: http://www.youtube.com/SMJIndia http://www.youtube.com/user/satyamevajayateshow/videos http://www.youtube.com/starplus The songs of the show can also be found on tseries channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/tseries Telegu dubbing on: http://www.youtube.com/user/smjtelugu Tamil dubbing on: http://www.youtube.com/show/satyamevajayate Malayalam dubbing on: http://www.youtube.com/user/Asianetindia/videos Karnataka has banned the show as they do not allow any dubbed show to be shown in the state unless it is a complete remake. Just saw that on a news site though it sounds like another form of another social problem i.e. regionalism to me. The promo and titles songs are available in Kannada on Youtube including official tseries etc. So, it seems that the decision was taken by the Karnataka movie association just before the launch of the show. In case of non-south Indian languages, it is available in subtitles from what I have seen in the youtube profiles of all Star TV's regional channels. It is not available in dubbing though in North Indian languages or English. The reason is perhaps because most of them already understand Hindi to some extent in non-southern parts of India. For example, English subtitles in Star World India http://www.youtube.com/user/StarWorldIndia/videos And if I am correct, then all those are already uploaded before the show is even telecast for simultaneous availability on the internet too. It is just that they make it public from private once the show telecast completes for the first time on TV. Hope it helps all the South Indian people too.

++ Cannot agree more. I have noticed the same trend in the last few years and I have left a lot of hope from the nation after noticing these facts. Unless people changes and start broadening their mind, it will never change. But sadly I see even the educated class becoming flawed in terms of logic in recent years.

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tv/Rajasthans-Health-Minister-criticises-Satyamev-Jayate/articleshow/13149944.cms Rajasthan’s Health Minister criticises Satyamev Jayate The minister has accused the actor of "sensationalising female foeticide cases" in the state. While one cannot deny that the government has swung into action after the first episode of SMJ, Sharma says, "There was an impression that the government took action only after Aamir's campaign, but I would like to highlight that we've already been working for the same. Budget announcements to check foeticide are there and several other steps are being taken. The government took up the issue much before Aamir Khan's programme." He further says that Satyamev Jayate is not a campaign for social awareness. "Aamir himself has said that he is an entertainer and cannot work longer on one topic, that simply means what he is doing is for monetary gains. If he really wants to work on this issue, then I welcome him to come and work here on ground."

Another way to look at it - Its better if the affluent/educated/whoever class that chose to abort the 'girl fetus', did so. Living in a family, where you are/were not welcomed, would have been hell anyway - most likely. So, IMO, it should be upto the mother (& perhaps with father's nod)- to decide what they want to do with part of their bodies. But yes, practically, its more than just a choice - due to 'emotional pressures' from elders/society. P.S. On not-so-serious note - if I had sufficient funds and infrastructure - I would start investing in adopting unwanted girl childs. There is going to be huge demand of educated brides, with minimal 'interference' from bride's side.

Not a fan of shows like these. Shows all the problems in India, but solutions nothing. Pretty much like our news media, will criticize everybody, but themselves have nothing to offer

exactly

Yep, and also to add. For them, all the responsibility goes to the government and they themselves have no individual responsibility on their own. They will spend $$ to show the information but will never spend any $$ to actually even "try" to solve these problems. That for me actually describes our whole nation. Such as one person earns low $$, blames government for everything, but never really questions himself on what he himself should have done to improve.

Yeah, do not discuss about the problems until you have a solution. I thought that's the first step to arrive at a solution. The show is doing its bit to bring social awareness.

What next, let's show the whole Indian audience complete footage about all the terrorists attacks in India just to make them aware of the dangers in the society?

[Crookbond]

I think some of us are looking at it too simplistically. We may have been aware of the problems but not on some of the root causes. For example, educated being involved more in female feticide than non-educated brass. I believe that's where the "social awareness" angle comes into picture.

[nikred]

Social awareness? Really? What next' date= let's show the whole Indian audience complete footage about all the terrorists attacks in India just to make them aware of the dangers in the society?

Yes, Social Awareness. Yes, Really. 53% of kids in India are sexually abused. Honestly, how many Indians know that? In my opinion, not many. I hate these "what next" statements, bringing irrelevant subjects to prove a flawed point. Yes, this is no holier-than-thou show. If it claims to be, then its wrong. At the end of the day, its just a show discussing social issues, that's it. I do not see any reason to dislike it.

:WTF: source?

[ganeshran]

Nothing wrong with discussing about social ills plaguing our society, we certainly havent reached the level where these issues are trivial enough not to be discussed.
