Absolutely!
I only covered the aspect about P & V’s past story presentation. They didn’t emphasise on it because V was never supposed to be in love with P. And they were right in that.
Where they failed is how they eventually took forward their characters wrt to each other… most importantly P. And here like you mentioned P’s character should have been established better. I have on several occasions mentioned that she seems to be a single child, spoilt rotten, who has had her way always and never really experienced failure or loss. She always got what she wanted. And only when she faced situations which didn’t go her way did her real character surface. They did in some way show it through the scenes you mentioned, but her upbringing and her life before she met V was not explored. This is another thing that the creatives fail on. They leave a lot on assumptions, and let the viewers tie it up the theories on their own. Hence, the disconnect and disagreement. They don’t realise it is neither a novel, nor an art movie where they leave a lot to ambiguity. Their story telling is not aligned to the platform where there are masses who need more clarity.
And above all the PL’s acting prowess being the biggest kill.
