Some more points which came to my mind seeing things around Satyamev Jayate:
- Please keep the show as real as possible. We don't want to hear that a person was interviewed in isolation and that reactions of audience were added to the show later.🤢
- Please STOP the use of inane phrases in name of communicating issues. Don't resort to stereotypical stuff like calling all women ''maa'' while doing an episode on respect for women. Every woman must be respected, whether she grows up to become a mother or not! Today's interview of Aamir Khan in TOI did not appeal to me when he said instead of using the word '''mahila'' he used the word ''maa'' because ''they mean the same thing'' and have more emotional connect!😲
Nope. Sorry. Female foeticide MUST be avoided no matter what! Not just because the female will one day grow up to be a mother! 😕And female foeticide is many times done by women willingly - so don't talk of maltreatment of all pregnant ladies, as if to show every woman is only forced to commit female foeticide by her in-laws and husband!😡
Focus on issues Aamir and team Satyamev Jayate!! Don't give in to creative compromise to make a show palatable to larger section of audience!
- The next time Mr. Aamir Khan decides to do this show, I wish he concentrates only on this show when he's doing it. I do not want to see his increasingly bulging muscles or ''changing physicality'' in every episode. Nor do I want to see him hold ''special press conferences'' for issues, in his ''new look'' for some new film and media making news only about his hair cut or look for new film and totally sidelining the issue!👎🏼
For God's sake Aamir saab don't try to manage preparation or shooting for your film along with shooting for this show. Please look and behave normal.
- Devise some new way of raising donations or at least give better questions at end of Satyamev Jayate!! What the hell is meant by ''if you love your parents as much as they love you, then SMS Y''!!😃
The episode end questions must be logical at least. Today's episode end question sounded like a silly email forward or FB update, ''Hit like if you love your parents'' or ''forward if you love your parents''!
Why end a sensible show on such a flimsy note?
- Columns (again!) - For God's sake, Aamir either get someone else to write for you, or scrape the columns altogether if you cannot cover issues properly! And please show some GUTS! You can talk about Amitabh's polio ads in ''polio eradication'' but how could you LEAVE out Dr. Baba Saheb Ambedkar in your entire 2 hour episode on Caste system and untouchability?!😲
How the hell could Aamir give all credit of acting against untouchability to Gandhi and reduce Ambedkar to just the maker of Constitution?
If AK did not wish to talk of reservations it was fine. But he could have given due mention of Dr. Ambedkar at least.
Probably for a person who is not much educated or not acquainted with issues and their ramifications at all, would completely lap up Satyamev Jayate with all its flaws. But if a person is a little more thoughtful, he/she won't be able to appreciate the show and its message!
The things I pointed out might seem like nitty-gritties, but it's sad to see a show with great potential (given its reach etc.) to be unable to make all round SOLID impact on every viewer, all due to small things which can be corrected by its team!
No idea about others, but I really get distracted from the show when I see even a bit of shoddy handling of an issue or use of stereotypical language!
