Even
as
Aarakshan
is
under
fire
with
some
Dalit
organisations
objecting
a
certain
line
in
the
film
that
is
against
reservation
system
in
the
country,
Amitabh
Bachchan
says
that
the
film
is
similar
to
his
television
show
Kaun
Banega
Crorepati
(KBC).
He
says
that
both
the
film
and
the
television
show
give
the
lesser
privileged
the
chance
to
prosper.
“In
many
ways
the
philosophy
of
the
film
and
that
of
KBC
is
quite
similar..
Given
opportunity,
even
the
lesser
privileged
shall
prosper.
Or
at
least
have
the
capacity
to
prosper.
The
previous
season
showed
to
us
that
contestants
from
small
town
India,
came
up
in
large
numbers
and
did
what
most
metro
town
inhabitants
could
not
achieve.
The
power
of
opportunity,
the
power
of
determination
if
the
resources
materialize,
and
the
ultimate
joy
of
disproving
most
others
is
really
the
triumph
of
the
common
man," he
wrote
on
his
blog.
“Who
would
have
ever
thought
that
a
Muslim
lady
from
a
small
town,
conservative
in
its
outlook,
would
one
day
sit
on
the
hot
seat
and
crack
the
jackpot
of
a
crore
of
rupees
!
But
she
did,
as
did
many
others
from
humble
beginnings.
And
that
really
is
the
marvel.
Those
without
means
and
facilities,
those
who
have
never
had
opportunity
to
even
think
of
education,
for
them
to
suddenly
find
themselves
in
the
higher
echelons
of
society,
speaks
volumes
for
the
democratic
nature
of
our
constitution
and
the
adherence
thereof.
The
film
Aarakshan
provides
many
sides
of
this
issue
and
many
other.
And
so
when
we
have
movie
integration
with
KBC,
this
point
stands
out
in
great
favor
for
the
film,"
he
added.
Aarakshan
deals
with
reservations
in
the
Indian
education
system.
It
features
Amitabh
Bachchan,
Saif
Ali
Khan
and
Deepika
Padukone
in
the
lead
roles.
