AAMIR KHAN ON TV! |
| Trust Aamir Khan to rustle up something extraordinary every time he puts his mind and heart to a creative endeavour! The first round of TV promos of Aamir Khan’s new show Satyameva Jayate seems to deal with the janta janardan. Amidst the crappy league of reality shows of modern-day Indian television, Aamir’s show looks much more grounded, ‘real’, and with a social undertone. At first when viewers were treated to the trailers of Satyameva Jayate, it didn’t look like the promo of a big show. A humble-looking Aamir Khan is seen eating while sitting cross-legged. However, what he says is not to be missed, “aaj kal itna chaos hai..itne channels..media..hum aaj dekhtey hain kal bhool jate hain..aankh se nahi dil se dekh kar dekho”. The other two promos of Aamir Khan’s show are also created on the same theme. In one of the promos he says that he wants his ammi (mother), and even his housemaid to see this show sitting together - Sab ka apna show ho, Har zindagi se takraye. The show is believed to have a concept hitherto unseen on Indian television. Aamir was quite gung-ho about the TV show when he started working on it. Reportedly he has spent a lot of time on this one and has taken into account every aspect of it. By now, you must have understood that he has designed a show which is going to be soul-stirring. In one of the trailers he even says that entertainment doesn’t mean making the audiences laugh. The response to the promos is good. The masses, especially youngsters, have liked Aamir, but still the show’s concept is cocooned in mystery. Satyameva Jaayate is expected to hit your TV sets in May. It could be a gamechanger, while many would still weigh it with Amitabh Bachchan’s ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’. Can the show beat the popularity of KBC? |
