I just think the atmosphere of the scene disallowed any romantic inclinations to be visible. I think there's spark, and definite room for progression. But that will take time, because right now the scenes call for intensity of a wide range of emotions, exclusive of romance. There's feelings probably from Uma, but Kanak has basically rejected all and any thing, therefore of course the chemistry of romance will be downplayed. As for chemistry in between the leads, like i've said, there's definitely a spark; the contrast between the two really sets their relations apart from others.
EDIT: Also, when talking about chemistry, I think it has to do with more then romance. You have to have chemistry in general as well. Therefore I think they do have chemistry, just not romance yet. Therefore, I think it'll get better as the story progresses.
