story :

As the name implies, Shirdi Sai is the life story of Sai Baba. The movie starts off in 1854 by showing a young Sai Baba, who is seen by the people of Shirdi in a meditative pose under a neem tree. After giving a few glimpses of His holy nature, Sai leaves for the Himalayas to seek wisdom and attain enlightenment.

After he finds His answers, Sai comes back to the town of Shirdi and sets about solving the problems of people. He becomes their emotional and spiritual Guru. He heals the sick and takes care of the hungry.

Doubters and skeptics like Bhatia, the Englishman Wales and a few other people become devotees after witnessing Baba’s miracles and His good nature. The story ends when Sai decides to leave this earthly abode.

Nagarjuna deserves a hearty applause for having the courage to take up this role and he has managed to pull it off with conviction.This film will appeal immensely to Sai Baba devotees and it will be a good watch for casual movie lovers. Comparisons are bound to happen with Vijay Chander’s version of Sai Baba but the two films are very different from each other. From a commercial perspective, we need to see how the masses take to the film.
