The sensitive, yet harsh reality of female infanticide in India became the first issue Mr Perfectionist Aamir Khan tackled with his TV debut 'Satyamev Jayate' (Truth Alone Prevails) on Star Plus this week.
The premier episode evoked mixed response with thousands immediately taking to social media to voice their opinions. Many compared it to the Oprah Winfrey Show of the West, but remained unsure how it will shape up in the times to come.
ÂAamir Khan trying to be the Indian Oprah! Disappointing. He is sooo fake, posted Apar Dham who has studied media. K Himaanshu Shukla of Scrutiny blog found the show, ÂAamir Khan's emotional atyachaarÂ. He posted a status message saying, ÂI was expecting something different.Â
But not everyone was skeptical of AamirÂs Âcrusade pop-pourriÂ. Filmmaker Ramesh Taurani praised the actor on his Blackberry Messenger calling him Âthe bestÂ.
Abhigyan Jha, the producer of the online show Jay Hind, said the show reminded him of the days when he Âsat writing Rajani with the belief that it would change the countryÂ. He added on Twitter that he wasnÂt a fan of Aamir, but thought it is a show Âwell doneÂ. ÂIf I were him, I would have tried to do a similar show. Somethings have to be done, added Abhigyan.
ÂSatyamev Jayate is the Naya Bharat after Mahabharat, wrote producer Manish Goswami. ÂHats off to Aamir Khan for walking the road less traveled and attempting to serve humanity by inspiring millions, said film exhibitor Akshaye Rathi on Facebook.
Bollywood PR guru Dale Bhagwagar wasnÂt yet sure if AamirÂs crusade through the show could effectively turn into a movement. However, on a positive note, Dale concluded, ÂThe fact that Aamir has managed to make a hardcore entertainment channel see reason to spend their crores on an idealistic cause, should be enough to cheer us up for now.Â
