Aamir takes a potential dent of 100 million for being anti-male

In what could have been a legacy of hit movies after 3 Idiots, turned out to be a very mediocre affair for Bollywood actor Aamir Khan.

He was the star of millions but now he is hated alike. Aamir is known to be a perfectionist who does one movie at a time and delivers a hit. Producers bee line after him to get his dates. However, his latest movie “Talaash”, that released last Friday 30^th November, turned out to be damp squib for him.

And the reason for this wasn’t the case that it was a badly made movie. It was actually a movie of the genre of Aamir. However, activists fighting for men’s rights, promoting the concept of male welfare and creating platforms and infrastructure to support, guide and coach distressed and victimized men, proved to be an unanticipated dent for him.

Why Talaash movie must be boycotted

Men’s Rights Activists have decided to boycott Aamir Khan’s upcoming movie “Talaaash”. This boycott is a mark of protest against Aamir Khan’s show Satyamev Jayate in which he and the showmakers left no stone unturned in projecting men in bad light. They even went to the extent of showing scripted cases and false statistics of “so-called abuse of women” and hiding true statistics of abuse of men

by women and society.

Rumours also say it that now feminists are also against Talaash movie as it has shown a woman (Rani) as killer!

Men’s rights activists to get back at Aamir

Men’s rights activists across India have decided to boycott Aamir Khan’s upcoming movie Talaash to protest against the Bollywood actor’s portrayal of men as villains in his TV show Satyameva Jayate. They have launched an SMS and online campaign to urge men not to watch the movie.

 “We are not against this movie but against Aamir Khan who portrayed husbands and men as culprits in Satyameva Jayate,” said Virag Dhulia, a techie and head of gender studies at men’s rights organisation Confidare Research.

Virag added, “Aamir has given false statistics in his episodes about women’s suicide and domestic violence. According to union home ministry’s data, 62,000 men commit suicide in the country every year. He has not shown the truth about male suicides. He should have also called us and we would have explained the truth. ”

He alleged that Aamir showed false statistics that one in every two women was a victim of dowry harassment and domestic violence. In Bangalore, the boycott is being spearheaded by organisations like Save Indian Family (SIF). Across India, there are about 10,000 men’s rights activists.

Men of India demand SMITA

AS PER Hindu mythology, the festival of Dusshehra marks the triumph of good over evil. However, over the years, the significance of the festival had become merely perfunctory in essence losing its true value. However, the year 2012 was different as it marked the beginning of the end of one of the most disastrous and hazardous social evil called misandry. Misandry is referred to as social hatred against men which is visible in many forms such as, 1.    Presence of anti-male gender biased laws in India.

 2.    Little awareness of men’s issues.

3.    Trivialization of men’s problems.

4.    Male disposability.

5.    Systematic gender-based discrimination against men across policies – either public or private.

6.    No special protection accorded to men from serious issues like incidences of terror from intimate partners, immediate family and extended family.

7.    Gender based discrimination against fathers.

8.    Gender based discrimination against boys in education schemes.

9.    Irrational distribution of responsibilities across the two genders.

10.  No allocation of budget by Government towards male friendly causes and objectives.
