Nagarjuna's entry as Baba, set to the tune of a song on the oneness of God - "Okkade Devudu" was nicely shot.Nagarjuna plays the part of Shiridi Sai so perfectly that one gets the feeling that no one else could pull this role off. He is the only actor among his contemporaries for playing roles like Annamayya, Sri Ramadasu and Shirdi Sai The actor is a revelation in this role that calls for intricate nuances and skill. He has put in a lot of hard work both in terms of looks as well as body language. The triumph of this role lies in the fact
that Nags got the subtleties right. An award might just be around the corner.
Nagarjuna proves that he is a true Shirdi Sai with his portrayal of the role. His radiant eyes, subtle expressions, the pain and joy in his actions prove that Nagarjuna lives the role and has poured oodles of devotion into the whole act.Srikanth was apt in his role as Dasaganu. Srihari as Wales and Brahmanandam as Sandeham also fit the bill.Moving dialogues like "Manishi Sukhamga undedhi maraninchaake" touches the audiences.Keeravani's music and background score are brilliant. He has put in his best for this devotional movie and has elevated several scenes with his impeccable tunes. His music is the soul of the film and this is one of his best musical scores in the recent past. His own devotion to his art reflects in every song.
The production values are very rich, thanks to Mahesh Reddy and Shri Girish Reddy Raghavendra Rao has provided a great canvas for actor Nagarjuna and music director Keeravani, who have given much colour to the director's vivid imagination.In a scenario, where commercial films are being made dime a dozen, a film like Shirdi Sai calls for strong conviction and Nagarjuna's move to take up this film is commendable.
