Secret
Superstar is a 2017 Indian musical drama film, written and directed by Advait
Chandan and produced by Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao. The film features Zaira
Wasim, Meher Vij, Raj Arjun and Aamir Khan in lead roles, and tells the story
of a child who aspires to be a singer. The
story of Secret Superstar is set in the town of Vadodara (Baroda) in Gujarat,
India. The people living there are the core part of this living-the-dream story
of a high school girl Insia (Zaira Wasim). Insia lives with her mother Najma
(Meher Vij), younger brother Guddu, and an overbearing father. Her father is
completely against her dream of one day becoming a singer. The story is centred
around how the young Insia manages to sneak off to Mumbai to fulfil her dreams
and meets a once successful singer Shakti Kumar (Aamir Khan) while she tries to
rescue her mother and brother from the violence at home. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secret_Superstar
Secret Superstar was originally set to release on 4 August
2017, but it was later postponed to 19 October 2017. Is it a coincidence that
the film was released just a day before ,as we shall see in this post, a very
meaningful New Moon aligned with the meridian at Bombay, where the film was
made?
The New Moon of October 20 was placed opposite Uranus and
aligned with the meridian at Bombay (and Vadodara where it was shot). The planet of rebellion and freedom, Uranus
(27ar) is conjunct stars of King Cepheus and his daughter Andromeda who is
depicted in chains. In her book, Secrets of the Ancient Skies, for the
stars in this area Diana Rosenberg writes:
The King knuckles
under no one. There is fanaticism,
obstinacy, an intemperate nature and a dogmatic intolerance of others’ opinion.
There are concerns here of tolerance vs
intolerance, possible father-daughter issues; domination and repression vs
freedom, including feminist issues.
This was the Sun of US
President Thomas Jefferson who embodied one of the major conflicts here, for he
wrote the Declaration of Independence and the Preamble of the US Constitution,
yet remained a slave owner and kept a slave mistress (Cepheus, the King and
Andromeda, the Chained Woman!). Mars was here for pioneer 18th
century feminist Mary Wollstonecraft, author of “The Vindication of
the Rights of Woman” (Andromeda!)
