The love story in Kahaani (2012)

The love story is not overtly romantic but is portrayed through shared moments of understanding, trust, and mutual respect. As the plot unfolds, the audience witnesses the deepening of their connection, and it adds a human touch to the intense and suspenseful narrative. The subtle portrayal of emotions between Vidya Balan and Parambrata Chattopadhyay's characters is beautiful.

I love how there's no conventional "happy ending" but the feeling they love each other permeates the narrative.

Do you also find the love story in the movie subtly woven into the thriller narrative, adding emotional depth to the film? Or do you think it didn't add anything to the movie?
