K. Raghavendra Rao is a professional director who has immense hold on every department of film making. The difference between Social and Devotional film is very high and this man knows every inch of it. However, one area in which KRR seems to be a clear failure for ‘Shirdi Sai’ is writing that is dialogues department. Missing of JK Bharavi in the team means missing everything and audiences after watching ‘Shirdi Sai’ are clearly sensing the divine variation between ‘Annamayya, Sri Rama Dasu’ and ‘Shirdi Sai.’
Not that Paruchuri Brothers have done a disappointing job yet when a movie like ‘Shirdi Sai’ which demands everything above 100% perfection has fell flat in some key scenes due to depthless dialogues. Episodes where the keen involvement of public was demanded, Paruchuri brothers could not generate the required impact as what Bharavi did earlier. It is alone KRR who can answer the question on why he missed Bharavi?
