You're not the only one. I've always been interested in the journey to love. ShiVi's history was rich with a ton of "what if" moments. They were childhood "enemies" who cared too much that the average person would consider them to be friends. Even if they didn't admit it, they protected each other from harm's way. Their worlds revolved around each other and their most active personas came to life when they were together.
Once they married, their story became diluted. The meaningful scenes where you had to question whether they felt anything more were gone. I liked the silence today and hope CVs use more of these silent scenes. Leaving the watcher to imagine what comes next is the best type of plot device.
I don't mind them getting married, but I want to talk about the dilution of their scenes. They appear as an uncomfortable couple thrown in a marriage. This is the most cliched route of storytelling.
You are right about their dynamics. Hatred from Shiva’s side and anger were too much, but there were great moments of attraction. He would shred her to bits but wouldn't let harm come in her way ever. There were moments where he enjoyed her getting scared—the Chaku scene where Shiva pulled out a Sasta Wolverine.
They were significant moments. We did get a glimpse of Shiva enjoying her getting scared in the Bhoot scene, but the rest is so fizzled out. I am not sure what has gone wrong, but after the boot scene, I am done. Their room antics are eventful but not charged up enough. Where is that jaw clenched, Shiva who pulled her with a tie?
I do not like this new lovey-dovey, just married couple. I wanted Raavi to behave like a bit of an airhead saying Chakra Gaya Na. It would make so much more sense.
