And as a personal opinion, I really did not like the Shiva carting Raavi on his shoulder scenes. I mean, come on, a beam just fell on his leg, and he is happily roaming about like the Hulk. And the completely unrelated bgm. It all just made me laugh.
They don’t need to show him with superhuman strength- we already know he is strong, this extra drama just takes away from the relatability of the character. It reminded me that this was a drama, instead of getting me invested in Shiva as a character.
The whole trope of natural disaster stories is not to show people have super human strength(no one has that). It is show vulnerability and fragility of human life. It would have been ten times more impactful if both of them had been limping together, using each other as support(after a beam falls on your leg, you would atleast have a sprain). It would have shown them as vulnerable and forced them to depend on each other. It would have made them realize how easy it is to loose one another.
The current episode also tries to do that, but in the most unrealistic and comical way possible
