Shiva’s life had always revolved around Raavi; good, bad or ugly doesn't matter. She was the epicentre of his emotions.
In their first innings, Shiva migrated from hate to attraction towards Raavi, the girl-her spirit. The appeal was natural and organic. He got drawn in not to his wife but his chipkali.
In their second innings, he sees Raavi as a giver, a person beyond her shallow talks about looks as her airheadedness-a girl who can sacrifice and the love-a kinder girl.
You can be attracted, attached and connected to Someone despite Viewing them with the myopic vision.
Their second chance gives them space to explore each other without any baggage of compliance.
This ADJUSTMENT has allowed them to be in a neutral zone. They would realise slowly how they belong to each other.
I see your point about slow burn, and I'm not opposed to it per se...but my problem is the lack of follow up to important moments with delaying tactics.
Consider Shivi college scene. I thought that was to lay the foundation for Raavi to start knowing Shiva and appreciate his intelligence and sacrifice. But in the past week, there's been no follow up at all. Forget any conversation about it, Raavi hasn't even spared a single thought about it. Instead, they give us haldi lollipop
I'm sure it will come up sometime. But the impact of that scene is already reduced for me.
