Ramanand Sagar's SAI BABA is an all time blockbuster serial on Indian Television. Kudos to Sagars for producing a beautiful serial on my ishta devta Shirdi Sai Baba ! All the stories were mostly taken from the Satcharitra (80%) and 20% were fiction which is fine, atleast the authenticity was maintained. This is my favorite serial after Jai Shri Krishna (colors) and Dwarkadheesh (imagine TV).
Whenever I am in distress, I pray to my Baba and Krishna ; my problems get solved. Many of my questions are answered while watching this serial. I also heard that devotees of Sai have increased after watching this serial, similarly the income also increased 100 fold at the Sai temple in Shirdi.
The cast was brilliant. Mukul Nag has been blessed by Baba himself to play this divine role. All the actors who played Shaama, Sagun, Khote Patil, Maalsapati were outstanding.
The music by Ravindra Jain (in the first season by Sagar Arts) and Dutta Tithe (in the second season by Sagar Pictures) was so soulful that I cried listening to the beautiful Sai bhajans sung by Suresh Wadkar in the serial.
Some episodes were not completed like Kulkarni's transformation, Sai's mahasamadhi, Booti's samadhi mandir building but its okay as there is no end to Baba's divine leelas.
I would therefore conclude that the Sagars have brought a beautiful serial on Sai Baba on Star Plus when it was needed the most.
I request star plus to restart the whole 212 episodes of SAI BABA in this pandemic time so that devotees will feel positive.
JAI SAI BABA !! JAI SAI KRISHNA !!
