I did think in the Mahabaleshwar scene where he kissed her, it looked reasonably convincing to me personally. Even firehead kiss post Ajinkya kasnd accident was decent although interrupted by the unecessary presence of pp.
And that hug where he wraps them in a comforter in Mahabaleshwar also was sweet. It isn't just the proximity but the mood, the body language and the aesthetics of shooting that make a scene romantic. He's managed to look romantic in a bunch of scenes in the past. The scene where he eats ladoo from her hand, asks her to close her eyes as he walks closer to kiss her- all of those did look romantic. But these days his graph is all over. His eyes were full of emotion and pain/longing in the post pullu lunch vaala fight and in that amey kaand fight he goes from anger to suddenly giving sweet and later admiring looks as he watches Sai interact with Devi and later Karishma. my grouse is that he has lost many of those nuances and much of the consistency and he has forgotten the arc. At this point in time, V's love/longing should be clearly displayed. But as time has gone his emotions/performance graph is dropping with respect to potraying that romance, the growing comfort. That means his acting clearly has declined.
If he remains this casual and lazy in his performance with such a lopsided hit/miss ratio favoring more misses than hits, then he definitely doesn't deserve to headline a show. Its a shame that he's gone from being a bankable actor to mostly a flop now. What a waste of potential. And it matters that he gets back on track because it affects Sairat chemistry and the viewership experience.
