If I've read correctly, that is the point that Shumi, Fariyal & some others are trying to make here... all the scenes were great, just unsuitable for the occasion. It is after all an emergency situation, is it really the time for introspection?
I'm glad someone caught on to the subliminally placed message vis a vis the perfect Indian wife. That was certainly a blow to the stomach as far as Kunal's characterization goes. All this while he has come across as quite a gent & suddenly, without preamble on Friday, there emerges this MCP who only talks of I, me & myself. Hardly worth romanticizing, I say!
Nonetheless, one realizes that a simplistic romance is what the majority audience wants, thus, that's precisely what one got on Friday. The creatives aren't as dumb as one makes them out to be...
*Edit*
Funnily enough, I've observed, that when it comes to Siddhi's scenes, the forum joins in voluptuously in critiquing her, however with Kunal, there is hardly an audible whimperđ
