hmmm...
I am not taking a moral stand against the event...just struggling to fit the pieces together basis the character development so far (at least regarding kumud) and the context against which this may happen...
however, let me give it a shot...
from last comments from vaishali,smrth and kaadal..
- in the novel, the letter of rejection happens after they declare their love and later saras spends the rest of his life nursing a major guilt trip regarding his action...which causes his 'growth' and lifelong 'obligation' to make up for it to kumud.
- kumud's 'stigma' which forces VC hand to get her married in the novel is the engagement break-off.
- makers are definitely trying to turn out the saras character more as flawed than weak.
- therefore the logic of his overarching desire to do good for society for which he leaves behind everything does not stand / will not work.
- nor does the 'stigma' of an engagement break-off in current times.
- BUT public knowledge of her having premarital sex followed by an engagement break-off is a ;stigma' of sufficient magnitude, which may force VC to get her married off to a character like Pramad.
- then what will cause his life-long guilt trip over a hurt to kumud basis his action after a seperation and which will drive him till the end?
- it could be a combo of the premarital consumation followed by an impulsive seperation (caused by guman), resulting in kumud all alone for sometime, probably publicly or at least in family 'shamed' (can't think of any other word here) resulting in a quick marriage ...and we are back to the original track..
so maybe there's a reason why this fits...
however the CVs have continued to surprise..
so lets see how this goes..
