'1885 saw'
'some unknown stories of Shirdi's Sai Baba'
'and the commencement of a new journey.'
'In this era, authorities discriminated people'
'based on religion, caste and colour.'
'At this time, people's confidence, freedom,'
'and self-respect were being shattered'
by the atrocities they endured.'
'In such times,'
'Shirdi's Sai Baba's divinity'
'reminded people of humanity.'
'It made everyone realise the ultimate truth'
'that all of them are one'
'because everyone's God is one.'
'The ones who went off-track in the darkness,'
'it lit the lamp of faith and patience'
'in their lives to guide them towards the light.'
[fabric rustling]
Be careful.
Yesterday's event mustn't be repeated.
[dramatic music playing]
[suspenseful music playing]
You need not come here.
Everything is in place.
[dramatic music playing]
Birsu, everything is okay today. What happened yesterday?
We're here to find that out.
Let's go.
Hey! Your painting.
Birsu is accused of being a dacoit
who is creating a nuisance against the British government.
Whoever gives information about him
will be rewarded with Rs 500.
The dacoits who looted our water, forests and lands
are calling me a dacoit.
These foreigners!
[dramatic music playing]
Who are these people?
They don't seem to be from Shirdi.
[suspenseful music playing]
The dacoit Birsu!
Hey!
Shh!
[dramatic music playing]
Stop right there.
[dramatic music playing]
Birsu, this land is holy.
We don't want bloodshed here.
If you intend to loot anyone, forget it and leave.
What if I am not here
- to loot anyone? - Are you not here for dacoity?
Then, did you come slyly with guns
at such an odd hour to sing hymns in Shirdi?
Had dacoity been my intention,
like it was yesterday,
this gun
would not have stayed silent for so long.
Then, why are you here?
To find
the power
that has taken up the responsibility of protecting Shirdi.
What happened to us yesterday
was not an ordinary occurrence.
[pleasant music playing]
Who is there?
Who is hiding in the dark?
[pleasant music playing]
Reveal yourself quickly,
or I will shoot.
[tense music playing]
Who is the man in the dark?
Who are you all protecting?
Who is in the dark?
That's the question, Birsu.
The ones who intend to kill,
don't waste time conversing, Appa.
Birsu is telling the truth.
He won't harm anyone.
The journey from darkness to light
is the journey towards knowing yourself.
This journey begins with curiosity.
But one can reach the light
only if he decides to surrender.
Everyone, please move.
[devotional song playing]
Who are you?
I am everything if you believe it
and nothing if you don't.
We came to rob Shirdi last night.
'Listen. Take whatever you get.'
[dramatic music playing]
'This?'
- 'This land? - Jump.'
'Hmm.'
[dramatic music playing]
'Snake!'
- 'How could a Nimdi's resident fear a snake? - Hey!'
- 'The rope turned into a snake. - What are you blabbering?'
'Let's go.'
- 'Come on. - Yes.'
[footsteps approaching]
[thud]
Birsu, I warned you. This place is illusional.
Listen to me. Let's go.
Ever since we returned,
I am trying to fathom
what we saw
yesterday.
Why do you want to know it?
That's because that power
is divine.
We might have insulted that power
by intending to loot Shirdi.
Why didn't all that happen yesterday occur today?
How could
we enter Shirdi today?
I want to know that.
When intentions change,
roads change,
and so do the milestones on the way.
You were in the dark yesterday.
You encountered light,
and a new journey began
of curiosity.
Shirdi's protector
is our Sai.
The source of all the miracles
that take place here is one,
our Shirdi's Sai.
Shirdi wakes up
and sleeps
by taking his name,
meditating upon him and thinking of him.
He takes away the pain of Shirdi's residents and gives them joy.
Hail Sai Ram!
[pleasant music playing]
[devotional song playing]
Sai,
forgive us.
Had we known this was a holy land,
we would've never stepped on it intending to loot the people.
The entire earth is a holy land, Birsu.
If you didn't experience a divine power somewhere else,
it doesn't mean
you can loot them.
We're not dacoits, Sai.
Neither did we ever wish to loot people.
But what other option has this English government left for us?
We belong to the Nimdi village, Sai.
It's a tiny village.
The English government
snatched our fertile lands,
forests,
and rivers.
The dacoits who looted everything that was ours call us dacoits.
On top of that, it's not merely one or two years.
It hasn't rained for four years.
What are crops?
How do they look?
People don't remember it.
The drought has torn the earth.
Men, women,
kids and older adults
add up to 1100 people.
And cows and goats?
Now, you tell me,
how will we nourish all these people?
The starvation and thirst
have rendered them half-dead, like there is no difference between
the living
and the skeletons.
Sai,
we didn't want to loot Shirdi for the riches.
Someone told us that there is no shortage of grains here.
Grain warehouses exist here.
We came to loot those
so we could feed the people
of our village
to their heart's content
and satiate their hunger.
Don't worry, Birsu.
You've come to our Sai.
Everything will be okay.
Every disaster tests humanity.
It tests our patience.
The path we choose
to face the test depends on us.
It's not like Shirdi
has never faced danger.
But the residents of Shirdi
faced it with unity.
They never chose unrighteousness.
Sai, when you see your loved ones dying of starvation and death,
the difference between
righteousness and unrighteousness ends.
Also, a lion hunts in the forest to fill his stomach,
not to loot anyone.
And snakes?
A snake eats rats. Right?
But you are a human, Birsu,
and humans can think and understand
better than animals.
Humans have a tongue
and language to express their grief and pain.
If you had asked for help instead of committing robbery,
wouldn't that have been a better way to deal with this problem?
Nobody helps, Sai.
Have you ever tried asking for help?
Okay, Sai.
Let me ask for help from Shirdi today.
Help us get rid of our sorrows. Help us.
Oh, Lord!
[theme song playing]
Just one bundle of grains for 1100 people?
Are you helping us or making fun of our problems, Sai?
Forget it, Sai.
Our problems are much bigger
than your small bundle.
[sad music playing]
[soulful music playing]
A drop is merged in the ocean,
everyone knows that.
No one understands that the ocean is merged in a drop.
Birsu!
What's wrong?
It has suddenly started raining in Nimdi.
How? But it is not the rainy season.
Yes, it seems like some big miracle has happened.
Unseasonal rain.
Suddenly, clouds came
and the whole village started dancing in the rain.
Yes, Birsu.
It seems as if this miracle has taken away
everyone's pain and suffering.
Wait.
[joyful music playing]
Forgive me, Sai.
You did all this?
The universe resides in every seed, Birsu.
The land of Nimdi is becoming fertile again.
Sow them.
And until the crop is ready at your place,
Shirdi will take the responsibility of Nimdi village.
I owe you this favour.
Anytime, anywhere,
if I am needed at any time, then this Birsu
will come crossing any obstacle or difficulty.
This is not a favour.
Ever since Sai came to live in Shirdi,
humanity is the religion of Shirdi.
And we are not doing anyone a favour by following the moral path.
We are just trying to follow the path shown by our Sai.
Where there is never darkness and there is only light.
After meeting you,
I feel like...
I feel like sitting here at your feet.
[theme song playing]
But I want to see that rain, Sai,
for which my eyes have dried up.
May God bless you.
[theme song playing]
Sir! God save the Queen, sir.
God save the Queen.
These foolish villagers, sir...
They eat ours but are loyal to the rebels.
But don't worry, sir,
we will catch them all soon. I assure you of that.
I could see that.
Vishwanath, in 48 hours,
I am going to announce promotions.
This means that you have 48 hours to catch
any robber or thief in this area.
[intense music playing]
I hope I've made myself very clear.
- Sir. - Good. Let's go!
[horse carriage running]
Sir, I saw Birsu in Shirdi last night with Sai.
[dramatic music playing]
[devotional song singing]
Sai!
[joyful music playing]
- How are you, kids? - Good!
[theme music playing]
Greetings, Sai!
May God bless you.
[theme music playing]
You have been educating the children
of this village for so many years, Madhav.
My Shirdi will always be indebted to you, Madhav.
Don't say that, Sai. I am indebted to you and Shirdi.
All this is happening because of your blessings.
May God bless you.
- Won't you ask today's riddle, Sai? - Riddle?
Hurry up, father. I don't have much time.
I have to leave you at the temple and go to work.
- I am coming, dear. - Come on.
I fly without wings,
but no one can catch me.
If I leave once,
I won't come back.
I am life's most precious treasure.
Tell me, who am I?
[jolly music playing]
- You didn't get it? - No.
Time.
A time to learn, a time to teach,
a time to get angry,
a time to persuade,
a time to pray,
a time for our family.
Everybody's accounts are settled with time,
but time's accounts are never settled.
[theme music playing]
Come on, let's go.
You don't have much time. Let's go.
No, father... This is the time, father,
for all those things that are more important than work.
I need to give you time.
Take your time. I'm not in a hurry.
May God bless you.
[joyful music playing]
Greetings, Sai.
Come on, kids.
Time?
Yes, time.
A person who understands the value of time is truly rich.
But the person who understands
the things that make time valuable
is the one who is truly happy.
In the last moments, no one ever thinks
that I wish I had earned a little more money,
I wish I had expanded my business,
because at that time,
there are only memories
of those moments spent with loved ones.
Of those moments that are perfect.
The value of time is in our relationships.
Only he who realises this today
will be able to live his life to the fullest.
Why are you living with doubt in your mind, Appa?
You can say whatever it is.
I was thinking that
by helping Birsu, we would not get into any trouble, would we?
I hope the British government doesn't do anything wrong
to us for helping Birsu.
Every adversity brings an opportunity for someone, Appa.
What?
Sai, you serve everyone
but don't take care of yourself.
I mean, what is this? Eat on time!
As you command.
As if you obey everything I say.
[joyful music playing]
[baby crying]
Mother!
Mother, look, he won't stop crying.
- He has been crying for so long. - Did you feed him?
He must be hungry.
I thought his stomach was hurting.
I even rubbed it, but look, he is still crying.
[baby crying]
Yes, there, there.
Sai, please have a look at him.
Give him to me.
[baby crying]
[theme music playing]
Rambha,
did you have an argument with Tatya
about anything while feeding the kid today?
[tense music playing]
She started the argument, Sai.
I was just talking.
If you are happy while feeding your baby,
your happiness will be passed on to your baby
and nourish him.
If you are sad or angry,
that too will reach your child.
That is why a mother
should always be happy and calm
while feeding her baby.
And it is also the father's responsibility
to ensure that the mother
remains happy and calm while taking care of the child.
If any guest comes from my parents' house,
he gets angry with me, Sai.
Before marriage, both happiness and sadness were yours.
When you got married and became a couple,
every happiness and every sorrow
is divided into two equal parts.
You have now become 3 from 2,
so every happiness and sorrow of yours
will be divided into three parts.
Keep this in mind.
I made a mistake. I shouldn't have answered him back.
No, Rambha, I made the bigger mistake.
Your family is my family, too, isn't it?
But tell me something, Sai.
It is always Rambha's guests who come.
Why do I never have any guests?
Here you go, your guests are also here.
[tense music playing]
[intense music playing]
Police, in Shirdi? What's the matter, sir?
Sir, I am Gangadhar Dalvi. I am a small businessman in Shirdi.
He is Appaji. Appa Patil. The head of this village.
What's the matter, sir?
Why are the police in our village?
[intense music playing]
No house should be left out.
Search everyone!
[intense music playing]
Where is Sai?
[theme music playing]
Where are you looking for me?
I am right beside you.
If you search for me,
you will find me immediately.
[intense music playing]
You are a guest of Shirdi.
Guests do not behave like this.
I have come not to be a guest, but to make you my guest.
Let me show you my hospitality.
Arrest him!
