Aamir Khan’s Satyamev Jayate may be path-breaking in social issues, but its has failed to get a suitable TV Rating (TVR). Infact the  Opening TV Rating of  Satyamev Jayate far lags behind most of the Big Starrer Show on TV. For Instance  Amitabh’s Kaun Banega Karorpati (S2) had an opening TVR of 19.75, while Satyamev Jayate has a Opening TVR of 3 merely.
This does not mean a failure, as Aamir did not gives a damn to TVRs or TRPs. Additionally he chose not to broadcast it during Prime Time when most users remain glued to TV. Additionally he has made it a based on Social Issues while most of the Big Star Shows are related to entertainment. We must appreciate the risk Aamir has taken with regard to this Show.
