Thanks for "jumping in". About time somebody called a spade a spade. Cvs could have so easily made it a real vehicle of social message by uniting Mangala and the other women against Akhiraj and making them bring change in the village environment.
They could have shown an interesting confrontation between Mangala and Anandi centred around biology and nurture, and sending the message that motherhood and emotions are common to both.
More importantly a child who has been nurtured with love and care cannot just be handed over to the biological mother on the ground that giving birth is morally superior to giving care. And even when the bio mother has been proven to be negligent and indifferent.
.
When Amol was adopted, CVs tom-tommed the adoption message and the forum gave a standing ovation to Anandi. You don't have to give birth to experience motherhood, people said. Many interviews and self-congratulations later, CVs made a mockery of the track by sending him back to his parents.
Now the argument has been even more completely reversed. Indeed, not just in this track, CVS have again and again knocked foster care whether in the case of Amol, Shiv or now in the case of Nimboli.
A loving, good, helpful woman has been forcibly turned into a negative character with psycho traits.
Anandi had become a shell character so to redeem her and elevate her they have diminished and demonised a side character. You are right about the message. They should stop the homilies.
