Of course he should tell the story that he wants to tell, but I don't think the story told so far deserves praise. Does it even deserve comprehension?
You have a male lead who dabbles in everything from an old age home to a saree design competition to planning a mall, but only for a couple of episodes each. He gets into street fights and has a so-called "show-biz lifestyle" of marriage proposals on social media, but also runs a nationwide business whenever he's not getting drunk during shirtless workouts. Fortunately, his computer-illiterate father-in-law who cursed him handles everything from sales to tax deductions. The female lead does nothing but respond to the male lead's harassment, emotional abuse, murder attempts, illegal business, alcohol abuse, jealousy and adultery. Any other characters only stand around the room, making faces while the male lead talks at length.
Everyone does not deserve the privilege of telling a story to millions of people. This man's suggestion that if we give him viewership, he'll give us a good story, is backwards. We are consumers - if we don't like his show, we'll look for another, so the time for him to start telling a coherent, well-paced long-term story was eight months ago. Go and tell your story to someone who has patience for you.
