No... Infact I feel the timing of the track was also right conceptually... But they didn't tweak it and copied mindlessly which made it look wrong because the context was different.
To me the positioning of Shruti after mimo was a test of trust between them.
They had built up a substantial relationship by the end of mimo. And Sai had recognised her feelings for V. So it was indeed a high point. But the presence of Shruti and Saahas tested her trust and her love.
Had it been earlier, Sai would let it go and maybe they would have seperated for good. She had that chance after Shruti but she couldn't because by now she was in love.
Hence all the efforts to get him back. To me thats Sai. She goes after what she believes is rightfully hers and V is indeed hers. For her to get that conviction in their relationship, Shruti was the trigger.
Where it failed however, is the speed, some of the dialogues that seemed out of context (as this came later in KD) and in similar vein V ka behaviour. That they couldn't think properly.
See, V is justified in his outburst to Sai had it been on KD timeline when they had a proper relationship of few years (and Emon was pregnant, which he didn't knew but ofcourse the relationship was there). So if Rono had reacted the V way did (since I have not watched KD)... He is still justified of his anger.
V had no such logic, they had not even confessed forget a physical relationship. Isliye everyone including myself disassociated with V in this track.
They are coming back though, but it still needs another trigger for Sai to recognise how wronged she was in Shruti. She hasn't yet and so hasn't V. He will only understand when she explains to him and right now that's not happening.
