Shri Baba Neeb Karori MaharajIt’s been a long time since a devotional film made it to cinema halls. Maybe big filmmakers now think Gen Z only likes action and romance-action films. But the 60% youth turnout at the press and preview shows of the film based on Jai Baba Neem Karoli proves that young audiences do want to watch films on our ancient heritage and saints.Released nationwide this Friday, the film presents one facet of the life of Neem Karoli Baba, who is believed to be an avatar of Lord Hanuman according to religious beliefs. Baba’s devotees include people from India and abroad. Among Baba’s followers are big names like Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg.Producer Sharad Singh Thakur researched “Shri Baba Neeb Karori Maharaj’s” life for many years. The film aims to introduce Baba’s teachings and legacy to the younger generation. Today, Baba’s devotees are spread across India and the world. Even decades after Neem Karoli Baba’s passing in 1973, lakhs of his followers still visit the ashram seeking inspiration.Apart from the head of Apple, celebrities like Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli are also Baba’s devotees. Marathi actor Subodh Bhave brings Neem Karoli Baba’s character to life. The makers met Baba’s family several times and then took the rights to make this film.
