Critical Analysis of Aamir Khan’s Satyamev Jayate

Aamir Khan Need To Focus On Feedback

While initial party is over at all social networks and media.Let's do some criticle analysis of the much hyped show.The first episode dealt with female foeticide, which is a basic socially concerning topic. In fact, quite similarly, reality shows like Crime Patrol or Bhanwar have turned out to be successful in staging the emotions perfectly on small screen.

But, difference surely lies in the treatment. The superstar anchor is successful in maintaining the suspense element throughout the show. He, like a true entertainer builds the plot, which gets intriguing with every passing moment. Like for instance, the idea of introducing the topic, without giving a hint about what will follow next is very commendable. The surprises are followed by tremendous shock value, which take the show to another level.

Though, the show gains real momentum only after the third break, where it becomes evidence based. From sting operation footage to warrant speakers like lawyers and experts discussing it with supportive illustrations (a roadside poor family with a newborn baby girl and Rohtak's gang of unmarried men) also showing pros and cons, adds on to the glee. Statistics shown get full marks!

As far as Aamir as an anchor is concerned, he, surprisingly, looks overtly-expressive and in no time, the genuineness of his conversation and interest in the topic is lost. It’s something like Aamir Khan has become the Indian Oprah Winfrey, just that this show has a longer duration and a wider curiosity factor. He tries to bring everything under one-roof. “Aamir Khan trying to be the Indian Oprah! Disappointing. He is so fake,” posted Apar Dham on a social networking site. He has studied media. K Himaanshu Shukla of Scrutiny blog says, “Aamir Khan's emotional atyachaar.” He posted a status message saying, “I was expecting something different.”

But not everyone is skeptical of Aamir’s ‘crusade potpourri’. Filmmaker Ramesh Taurani is all praises for the actor on his Blackberry Messenger, calling him 'The best'.Abhigyan Jha, the producer of the online show Jay Hind, says that the show reminded him of the days when he 'sat writing Rajani with the belief that it would change the country." He added on Twitter that he wasn’t a fan of Aamir, but thought it is a show 'well done'. “If I were him, I would have tried to do a similar show. Some things have to be done,” adds Abhigyan.“Satyamev Jayate is the Naya Bharat after Mahabharat,” wrote producer Manish Goswami. “Hats off to Aamir Khan for walking the road less travelled and attempting to serve humanity by inspiring millions,” said film exhibitor Akshaye Rathi on Facebook.

Coming back to the technicalities of the show, which at some places lack genuineness, like the intrusion of tear-jerking emotional faces, when they are not even required. Also, if the show becomes repetitive in terms of content, it may lose on to the loyal audience in the weeks to come. What adds to the misery is the question that whether the audience will continue to be receptive towards such hard-hitting shows, when they like to relax on weekends.

Overall, Satyamev Jayate is a like old wine in a new bottle, but with Aamir Khan as its USP, it has a tremendous potential to create a stir all over but seems nowhere near to break records of Mega Star, Amitabh Bachchan's KBC.
