MAALIK EK

Releasing worldwide on 29th October

2010 “Maalik Ek”
is a film based on the preaching and
philosophy of the great fakir and saint Shri
Sai Baba.
The film enlightens one of those spiritual
experiences of Baba, known only to the
blessed few.
The research team has put in 3 years of
hard work and sweat to bring this
wonderful spiritual experience to the
celluloid screen.
Information has been collected by the
 research team by referring to numerous
books and scriptures and by interaction
with various Sai bhakts.
In order to enable the masses to
experience this heart touching Sai Baba‟s
grace,
the "Maalik Ek" team has decided to dub
the film in various regional and
international languages.

The film takes you to the era, during which

the great fakir Shri Sai Baba was refused
entry
into various communities and villages
surrounding Shirdi.
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 Shirdi.
Mahalsapati, a Sai Bhakt, who later became
 a close confident of Baba addressed Baba
as “Sai” by saying the words “aao Sai”,
when Baba first came to Shirdi. This
episode bestowed upon the great fakir, the
title of “Sai”.
Shri Sai Baba continued to stay in Shirdi
until his final Samadhi.
This masjid later came to be known as
“Dwarkamai”.

Shri Sai Baba always said “I have two

mothers, one is “Dharti maa” and the other
is Dwarkamai, “Jiski guod mei mein sotta
hu”.

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 parting 9
aspects of life.
The film shows Dwarkamai taking a
 human form of Sutradhar, narrating
Sai Baba‟s life to Laxmi.
The film narrates events, characters,
scripts and locales, never seen before
on the screen.

Shri Sai Baba‟s preachings strongly

talk about Humanity, Brotherhood,
Complete family Life,
respect for all religions and the great
true saying that “God is one”.

Sai Baba‟s preachings were opposed by a

many like doctor (vaid) Kulkarni, of Shirdi,
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 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 clinics, organizing sports and
dramatic events.
Sai Baba also had a great passion for
poems and was fond of dancing with
ghunghroos on his feet.

“Maalik Ek” shows the arrogant Sipahi

Dasganu who was fond of writing
traditional lavanis 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 on the preachings of Sai Baba.
It is said that Dasganu traveled from village
to village, spreading the message of Baba
through his songs.

Shri Shirdi 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 showings
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
Ram Navami.
This festival is, till date celebrated every
year by Muslims and Hindus.

In the movie Baba never says, “I am

God” and is portrayed as a Simple
Human being, a Father Figure,
most importantly „A Messenger of
God‟. Thus he is rightly called “Maalik
Ek”
