Hi Tina, welcome back...
i think they got it basically wrong and probably even our expectations were too high and impractical. like you said somewhere, smooching et al. It ain't going to happen for sure. However, to make a HM romantic, one does not have to show smooching or too much of physical intimacy, Just the postures would be good enough,like they recently showed Saachi and DV in bed.. Do they really need to show them sleeping apart so much as if they were strangers?😊
I think it is all in the body language and the posturing. Both Ruslaan and Sangeeta have this blessing where they can emote with their eyes, speech, expressions, and other parts like hair... that scenes could have been to a look a little bit more romantic ( and also sensuous) without being too physically intimate. I fault the directorial team for this... loss of creativity.
Even now, i just happened to see a scene on SBS video,,, come one what was saachi doing... trying to escape from DV... this is not romance, though the makers want to call it that! In fact, it was irritating!
Summary - There are n number of ways of making romantic scenes -Saachi's wet hair, DV bare chested body ( probably wet too), DV carrying saachi, laying one's head on the lap, a tight hug, an even a one off kiss on the cheek or neck, tight and crisp dialogues... badly missed chances...
