Jackie Shroff is seen as Shridi Sai Baba in this film. Kishori Shahane Vij is producer of Maalik Ek movie.
Official website of Maalik Ek 2010 movie - www.maalikek.com, writes about the film synopsis, “…The film takes you to the era, during which the great fakir Shri Sai Baba was refused entry into various communities and villages surrounding Shridi. These simple villagers were of the opinion that Sai Baba was a thug and thus out of Sheer ignorance would chase away the great fakir until Shri Sai Baba finally settled down in Shridi. Mahalsapati, a Sai bhakt, who later became a close confident of Baba addressed Babaas “Sai” by saying the words “aao Sai”, when Baba first come to Shridi. This episode bestowed upon the great fakir, the title of “Sai”. Shri Sai Baba first come to Shirdi. This episode bestowed upon the great fakir, the title of “Sai”. Shri Sai Baba continued to stay in Shridi until his final Samadhi. This masjid later come to be known as “Dwarkamai”.
Shri Sai Baba always said “I have to mothers. One is “Dharti maa” and the other is Dwarkamai. “Jiski guod mei soota hu”. In Shirdi, after Baba;s darshan, devotees never miss to visit Dwarkamai, which remained Baba’s residence for 60 years and is considered as the most blessed and holy structure.
Days before Shri Sai Baba took Samadhi, he gave his close devotee laxmi, a young girl, who use to often come to Dwarkamai, 9 coins which depicts the pating 9 aspects of life. The film shows Dwarkamai taking a human from of Sutradhar, narrating Sai Baba’s life to Laxmi. The film narrates events, characters, scripts and locals, never seen before on the screen.
Shri Sai Baba’s preaching strongly talk about Humanity, Brotherhood, Complete family life, respect for all religions and the great true saying that “God is one”. Sai Baba’s preaching were opposed by a many like doctor (vaid) Kularni, of Shridi, who use to fleece the villagers by charging exorbitant fees.
He once instigated the local villagers and shopkeepers to refrain from giving Sai Baba oil for lighting the diwali diyas. Since Baba could not procure oil, he poured water in the diyas. It was a miracle to see the diyas bright light throughout the night! On another event, Kulkarni lodged a complaint with the British officers complaining about Sai Baba using his devotees’ wealth for his personal luxury and comforts.
Upon investigation, the British officers found that the entire donations received by Baba were given amongst the poor and needy right away. Shri Sai Baba deployed the donations received by him for opening schools, medical clincs, organizing sports and dramatic events. Sai Baba also had a great passion for poems and was found of dancing with ghunghroos on his feet.
“Maalik Ek” shows the arrogant Sipahi dasganu who was fond of writing lavanis (traditional marathi folk music) used by dancers with provocative lyrics.
Sai Baba inspired Dasganu to write poems which would benefit the society at large. Shri Sai Baba’s grace changed Dasganu’s thinking, who later started writing songs based ont eh preaching of Sai Baba. It is said that Dasganu traveled from village to village, spreading the massage of Baba through his songs.
Shri Shridi Sai Baba had great respect and knowledge on Geeta, Kuran, Bible and other various holy scriptures and religious works. During his discourses he use to recite the various versus of the holy books and at times also gave their page numbers.
In the movie, he openly spoke against Zamidars who exploited farmers which is the climax of the film conveying the message that suicide is not the means of life, at the same time, seeing that the farmers are not exploited by Zamindars showing positive rays of hope to the farmers. The movie has some spell bounding sequences between children and Saibaba.
He use to love children and children loved him. Shri Sai Baba always helped down trodden people to rise and face the world boldly. He started the festival of Urus on the auspicious day of Rama Navmi.
This festival is, till date celebrated every year by Muslims and Hindus. The movie shows Shri Shridi Sai Baba’s spopularity which has now spread all over the world. There are oppositions but Sai Baba is always a winner.
In the movie he never says, “I am God”. We have portrayed him, as a simple human being, an able administrator, a father figure, most importantly ‘A Messenger of God’.
Sai Baba is an idol of millions of people around the world and he is worshipped by everyone irrespective of any religion, cast or creed. Thus he is rightly called “Maalik Ek”.
Maalik Ek is a devotional film which talks about Shri Sai Baba. The film sketches almost all part of Sai Baba’s life and his character. Research team of the film has tried to introduce almost all characters in this film which were associated with Sai Baba’s life.
Maalik Ek talks about a religion which follows the humanity. Humanity is beyond the devotion and religion in this movie. You can watch Maalik Ek film in theaters on 29th October, 2010 on the same date of Nakshatra movie.
