That just means you are using a social issue like rape and molestation for your own ratings and not for social cause. This is just copying the movie damini and nothing original at all. When will the indian public grow up and call these outs, right now they are being so gullible. There is a reason western shows are such good quality and end with the story while Indian ones keep dragging for decades as the public swallows anything even those against common sense
I raised this copying Damini in another post so totally agree on that with you. Even that tandav scene (I skipped that part so dunno much) was in the movie.
About going against nature, I've seen some of my friends suddenly change their stance on certain rape cases depending on who the accused is, this is when they are not related to the criminal. Here it's Karthik's loved ones who are on the opposite side so the writers are hitting the nail on the head by showing how many people behave in India these days. Even if one person learns something by seeing the male lead first behaving like Indian right-wingers and then realize his mistake then the job is done.
We can't compare Indian shows with the West bcoz India doesn't have freedom of expression. American shows can openly say the truth about Trump and his policies, Hollywood actors don't get their movies banned just bcoz they speak up. We know what happens in India. That's why Hindi movies/ shows/ celebs don't have a spine and will speak what the majority wants. Be it daayan, naagin, senseless scenes, cliched romance scenes of dupatta flying, fake cheer/ clap sounds in 'reality shows' and much more.
