Does Jugs fall in love with Kaira towards the end? - Page 2

The creak was just for cinematic drama and suspense. It leaves room for audience to interpret their own scenario.

For some perhaps, he did fall for Kaira but held back due to professionalism.

For me the whole movie and story holds validity if he doesn't. Everything does not have to boil down to romance. To me their equation was similar to Laurent and Shashi in English Vinglish. Jug being Shashi and Kaira being Laurent. Kaira falls for Jug, but Jug's affections for her have always been platonic. Maybe he cared for her more than a therapist should. Maybe he flirted a little and basked in the attention. But the equation from his side was always purely platonic.

I agree with most and especially that all those signs were left for the audience to wonder and make a story of their own. I think the very reason it made me curious was indeed their relation was so platonic but equally surreal. I mean I slightly disagree with the fact that they were like Shashi and laurent because clearly laurent was at first, physically attracted to Shashi. Obviously her cooking skills, her confidence, her nature and other things played a role but a lot of physical attraction was there. But Jugs and Kaira were so emotionally intimate. Also I don't think Kaira fell for Jugs...for her it was the affection for the one and only person who could help her deal with her issues. Who could give validation to her in a way she no longer needed any validation. For her it was all admiration and connection in a non-romantic way. But Jugs, there were so many signs. The last hug, he missing a session without notice, the chair creek and I remember he also mentioned a time or two about how beautiful she was. There were subtle hints and thats what made it more interesting.
