I saw a bit of it from that Hindustan Times link. The reason it's so off putting is the way it's presented. I've said that before. But the reason for that is that it's always the female acting coy and backing away. Dude this woman is a mature woman and she backs, acting all shy.
W*F.. man. This made sense in Johdha Akbar. I don't cringe when I see the JA song, because for that setting it makes sense.
Same reason I have a problem with that kiss, really. And why I like that LTL kiss better. That BALH kiss, it's mostly him--and this is a consummation scene, not some quick one sided kiss or whatever. And again on top of all this... the kiss and the consummation (along with many other consummation sequences) seem put on, as if it's specifically for the cameras.
Makes me appreciate that MohUr one so much more. Bad saree drape, wrinkled jacket and shirt, dumbass idea of the terrace and everything... still at least it wasn't that artificial.
Edit... Ahh as I was typing... I see you brought up the unnecessary fanfare, Anj. š
