Sri Sai Mahima Review

A well documented feature film about the life and times of Sri Sai Baba. The simplicity and wisdom of this saint has been brought to screen with a refreshing sincerity. A lot of attention has been given to ensure factual accuracy.

The movie begins with Sri Sai Baba, settling down in Shirdi. From here on the narration gives us an insight into the teachings, simplicity and religious tolerance of this revered saint. With the aid of computer graphics, the miracles performed by Sai Baba are shown with a unique reality. The aspect that stands out in this movie is the devotional music. There are plenty of hymns which have all been well composed. There is nothing much one can write about this movie, for the very reason that it is more of a documentary on the life of Sai Baba.

The star cast has been chosen with care, Sai Prakash, a Kannada actor plays the role of Sai Baba. His uncanny physical resemblance to the saint makes his portrayal convincing. The supporting characters are fairly competent. The direction and cinematography of Ashok Kumar is slick and music by Aditya Paudwal is refreshing.
