Aamir Khan's "Satyamev Jayate" - A commendable step from a CELEBRITY who very well knows, what it means to be a CELEBRITY. (A word of praise by Bobby Sing) |
Few friends of mine always used to complain that why I become so serious or social in my film reviews and why I always try to address a current social issue in my write-ups about films?
My answer to them always has been that Entertainment actually remains hollow or incomplete until it is able to pinch you at the right place along with providing you with few lighter moments of life. The term Entertainment in reality has a certain responsibility hidden in its basic structure which should try to bring forward the burning issues of the society in front of the common people in an amusing manner. In simple words various mediums of entertainment like films, television and print media should ideally entertain as well as enlighten the viewers/readers about the society and its relevant features through their powerful narrative.
A common person always thinks in the terms that ‘What I alone can do something for the change required?”. And that’s where we all go wrong and waste a valuable and capable life granted to us by the Almighty. Because If only 1 out of 5 people starts trying to make a positive change around himself, then there surely is a strong possibility of making a better social structure just in a short span of time. So we should all try to do our bit in whatever way we can through any big or small medium which connects us to the people around. And that is why I always try to touch those burning issues in my reviews and articles as a social duty of a creative person.
Besides I strongly believe that every successful person, after reaching a decent height in his or her career has to fulfill a certain responsibility towards his people, his society and his country. Myself as a contributor might not be big enough in terms of the impact made. But a celebrity like AAMIR KHAN can certainly bring the much awaited positive change in our society through his sincere efforts.
And thankfully that is what AAMIR is trying to do through his program SATYAMEV JAYATE for which he truly deserves all the praises and support from the people who actually like to do something for their own society.
A section of media might try to condemn him for using people's tragedies & emotions for his own program which is sure going to make a lot of money. But for them I would only like to say that, even if AAMIR is earning loads of money from this new program of his, but at least here we have a CELEBRITY who understands what it means to be a CELEBRITY of a nation of more than 120 crores of population. At least here we have a STAR, who can think out of the box and is interested in trying to bring a BIG change around us, which we all have been waiting for. At least here we have a thoughtful creative personality who has the courage to try…….. Try for you, for me and for each one of us.
Admittedly we cannot stop those negative attitudes who always try to see the darker side of the picture by saying, “Jab ‘Anna’ Se Kuchh Nahin Hua to Ab ‘Aamir’ Kya Kar Lega?”
But for those friends who still have to learn a more positive way of living their life, I would like to say that,
"Dil Par Jab Lagti Hai, Tabhi Baat Banti Hai"..............It’s better to feel the pain of others and take action against the evil before it comes and hits your own home personally. In straight words, if you are not willing to be the part of Solution then obviously you are in some way part of the Problem.
So here at Bobby Talks Cinema, I Congratulate and fully support Aamir Khan in his new much needed initiative taken with a vision of bringing a change.
You have fulfilled the social responsibility of being a Movie Icon of this country Aamir, and thats what I call "SOCIAL ENTERTAINMENT AIMING TOWARDS A BETTER FUTURE"
Now I only hope and pray that this program just doesnt remain a 'Hit Serial' seen on a Sunday morning, but becomes a REVOLUTION in the coming months giving a new direction to our entire national society.
And hope it reminds each thinking individual of India, about his own personal responsibility towards the nation.
Cheers to Aamir and his team!

Awesome read.

Thanks a lot for you wishes Ramcharan Zanjeer. Now whether WE the society and its people want to act for a solution through our actions or not is our own choice and depends upon our own ability to accept and perform. So Cheers to the effort once again!
