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 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 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 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 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 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 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 Navmi.

This festival is, till date celebrated every year by Muslims and Hindus. The movie shows Shri Shirdi Sai Baba’s popularity 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 all around the world and he is worshipped by everyone irrespective of any religion, cast or creed.
Thus he is rightly called “Maalik Ek”



Director Deepak Balraaj Viiz’s earlier film on Sai Baba in the year 2003, “Shirdi Sai Baba”, won many accolades and also won
a National Integration Award at the hands of then, President Hon. Shri K.R.Narayanan. He counts it as the greatest piece of good fortune that circumstances led him to make a second film on the Great Saint, Sai Baba.

Maalik Ek is produced by Kishori Shahane Vij, a famous movie, television and theatre personality.
The music of the film is composed by none other than the Bhajan Maestro, Mr.Anup Jalota.
