Satayemaye Jayate , seriously a sincere attempt to show India, a reality mirror. I will say Aamir know a balance in commercial medium and cause. The way show is conceptualized, every expect of it was dealt with consideration that this real social issue not just way to garner sympathetic trps.  With some real heart wrenching stories to some real fact and numbers, the show could not be designed better than this. The way those numbers was explained, the impact of those number  on every human , specially every girl even if we are not directly involved in it.

The live sting operation story, how after 7 years its one who brought truth are the one who are suffering. But that's how Indian political scenario is. To go and punish someone with political power on a issue, we just don't need truth, sometime rather most times we need masses, a literal revolution. The episode started with cause, flowed with data and culminated with solution, a real solution for real problem of real India. So if aamir said do mail president against that case 7 year old if 100s and million mail, Write petition it might work. It might not...but its worth give a try we should all take moment and do what’s neccessary...

When we try with attempt like this with baby steps we might move toward change. Change is never overnight it come gradually and slowly. Just for example in Jessica Lal case every proof got distorted in lower court more than 20 live witness vanished or changed their testimony in end. All accused were acquitted because of lack of evidence. Candle march in Delhi, Chandigarh SMS revolution T shirts literally create a strong mass movement which not only led to justice after 11 years of her death against son of politician and businessman.
And then who can forget mass revolution India had during reservation which was actually one movie inspired (Aamir movie only). Noone in India thought that student would stand against reservation but they did for long AIIMS IIT most of all institute student went on hunger strike against reservation.

With Ashok gahlot getting out of long sleep if this show or aamir starpower gave good jolt to his administration, I would say it was worth a try. With good production values, his own starpower, with strong distant reach from starplus to DD, if it manage to hit the right cord and create a strong awareness against the issue, its worth Aamir attempt, I respect his this attempt.

I would like to mention few lines from my fav writer poem here from  dushyant kumar, which he too stated in start of show

Ho gayi hai peer parwat si pighlani chaiye,  
iss himalaye se koi ganga nikalni chaiye
Har sadak har gali main, har ghawn main,  
 haath lahrate hue ek laash chalni chaiye
Sirf hugama karna mera muksat nahi,   
meri koshish hai yeh surat badlani chaiye
Mere sine main nahi tere sine main sahi,
ho kahin bhi yeh aag jalani chaiye


I always loved this poem for its essence , its strong message with conviction, which is apt for his this try in this case, a step for some real cause as we dont know which step will actually make the difference. Sataymev Jayate if brought tears , but give a food of thought to common man, this problem has much wider  and much worst impact on our current and future society.

And I strongly believe in one theory if water can make mark on rock, constant attempts can do anything.  A small attempt like these does make difference, they had in past, they might in future
