So the makers have a golden chance to salvage this plot.
Given their precedent, they literally seemed to shoot the stuff for a day's telecast 1- 2 days prior to the airing on HS/hulu. So until now they were literally telecasting immediately after shooting it.
But now, for what they will telecast on July 4th on HS /hulu and on TV , they have a whole week to prep for. Thats a lot of time by ghum standards. Thats enough time for them to take 2-3 days break to rework the story and figure out which direction to take the story in. They suddenly have the luxury of time now and if they screw this up they will have to face audience wrath. No excuses also.
If they take this week and still give us trash of V agreeing to pp being surrogate rather than stopping it and focusing on where Sai/Geeta are, why Sai is not reachable, figuring out what happened to Sai - then V would be SO irredeemable that literally nothing can be done to justify his actions.
Even the sword of "last chance to have baby" is NOT justification enough to go against the wishes of his wife that she has explicitly stated. if he somehow manipulates Sai to agree to pp's surrogacy it would still be AS pathetic as if he makes a unilateral decision in Sai's absence. Coz if he manipulates Sai by threatening her about how this is their last chance then it would be still be emotional blackmail and it technically wouldn't fulfil the criteria of an informed/unbiased/unpressured decision respecting her rights. So then he would be pulling a BK stunt on Sai.
Also if they show PP succeed in surrogacy, they are essentially showing something illegal. After repeatedly harping on how a childless woman cannot be a surrogate more than once on the show, if they show PP being made surrogate - its a clear legal violation.
The other implications ofcourse will be that- crimes are going unpunished, immorality is going uncalled out and they are showing evil triumph over good. Because even if pp eventually gets whitewashed and hands over the child to Sai and leaves it'd be at minimum after like 15-20 months (the earliest time frame that she would leave- pregnancy duration+ breastfeeding etc) - she would have essentially suceeded in her evilness and Sai would have had to tolerate torture for that long!
The makers need to ask themselves whether the "drama" quotient and accomodating offscreen equations should be allowed to impact their messaging and content to this degree where they are either justifying or showing illegal cum immoral acts, showing cringe and delaying "justice" for way too long or having it go completely unaddressed like they have done before.
They got away in devi/pullu/harini tine because it wasnt the FL that was directly impacted even though the magnitude of crimes was very serious even then as it is now.
But this time it also impacts audience sentiments about Sairat, sairat baby and Sai. Audience is very attached to Sai, want to see her succeed against all odds and dont want her to keep on suffering and want her to get her "happy family" with HER baby thats untainted by the vileness of PP . So if they mess with that sentiment, then they are not only giving trashy content they are disrespecting audience sentiments. Audience that has patiently tolerated 550 odd episodes to see Sai be happy, Sai be successful and PP getting her due for her constant crap.
Will the makers take feedback or show their arrogance?
If they have been stalking forum or reading comments on SM, they should not only know how audience feels but could have also got ideas for plot twists to avoid V being irredeemable and salvaging this plot. And the best part is they can use the audience ideas without even needing to give credit/pay anyone.
So will they care to show us something half decent or will they uncaringly go full throttle into giving only n only trash. Lets see.
