There was always emotional depth in whichever scenes that he directed - maybe because of the writing/CV team too..
Hope we get all those elements back in the showedit - but what is sad is that the same director was literally hounded for the Delhi track - even though the Sam's journey during that phase was important..I am guessing makers bring in the directors whose sensitivities match with the emotional phase of the tracks.. LIght hearted college track, Shaadi handled by a diff. director, school phase by a diff. one and then the bet, separation, redemption phase of Sameer..etc..
