'Satyamev Jayate' to touch India's heart

Star India's and Aamir Khan's much awaited show, Satyamev Jayate, was launched on May 6 in the 11am Sunday slot. The show was shrouded in mystery even after a teaser press conference and launch promos, and it was finally launched and telecast across nine channels including Doordarshan - a first-of-its-kind experiment. Also, it was dubbed in three southern languages.

Now, with the first ratings of the show coming out, it's time to analyse whether the show has managed to really touch India's heart. After the first two episodes, which focused on female foeticide and child sexual abuse, there has been impact, says the channel.

"The Madhya Pradesh government terminated the licences of 64 maternity clinics in Bhopal, while in Rajasthan, the licences of five sonography clinics in Jaipur were suspended. The Rajasthan Chief Justice has also okayed the setting up of a fastrack court for settling the sting operation cases showcased in the first episode, which recorded an overall 4.1 Television Rating (TVR)," says an official from the channel.

"The second episode too has had similar impact, with victims of child sexual abuse coming out on public forums like radios and the online media, to talk about the exploitation they faced. The NGO Childline has got thousands of calls from people reaching out to them," adds the official.

With the way it's progressing, it seems that the show is choosing topics carefully, picking hard-hitting issues which affect people's lives. While it remains to be seen whether the show will be able to sustain the emotions it has generated, the first two episodes did dominate the social media space immediately after their telecast.

SATYAMEV JAYATE episode 3 to deal with dowry deaths

comments 9

Aamir Khan will bring up another burning topic this Sunday, something that unfortunately affects more people than we would believe

Aamir Khan's Satyamev Jayate has been the talk of the entire country since its debut two weeks ago. The actor shocked everyone – and at the same time made us proud – when he took up topics that are usually not discussed in the public domain and brought them to the fore. He spoke about female foeticide and infanticide in the first episode and about child sexual abuse in the second. Now we hear in the third episode Aamir will discuss the important issue of dowry death. The custom of demanding dowry from a bride's family when a wedding is fixed has been prevalent in India for several decades. It often takes an evil turn when the bride is tortured or killed just because her family is unable to meet demands from the in-laws. Even though there are laws in place that have made giving and accepting dowry a criminal act, this social evil continues to flourish.

Aamir has already created an impact with his first two episodes – everyone on social networking sites is talking about it and making it trending topics, government officials are retaliating at being exposed for their failures, social activists are finding help in unexpected quarters, and cynics are accusing the actor of making money out of other people's woes. What cannot be denied is that in just one-and-a-half-hours per week, he has succeeded in focusing attention on certain social evils which governments, NGOs and even other TV shows have not managed to do. We just wonder what impact his expose of certain home truths about dowry death will have on society… and all of us.
