🎥 Film Essence and Message:
This film is not merely a depiction of rituals; it is a living document of the faith, community, and the continuous spirit of Seva (selfless service) that keeps one of the country’s most revered temples functioning day and night. From the first morning Aarti to the final prayers at night, the film showcases the dedication and discipline that allow this system of service to run tirelessly.
The Core Message of the Film:
"Service is the highest form of devotion. Whatever service you can provide, do it selflessly, without desire, and in silence. This film serves as a reminder that every small act of service matters."

Collaboration with Shreyas Talpade:
Renowned actor Shreyas Talpade has lent his voice to the documentary’s trailer in both Hindi and English. He undertook this work as a mark of devotion to Sai Baba, infusing the documentary with emotional depth and spirituality.
Shreyas Talpade says: "As an actor, I have performed many stories, but this story is different. '24 Hours Inside the Temple – Shirdi' is not just about rituals or religion—it is the heartbeat of a living faith that never stops.
Lending my voice to this documentary was a deeply spiritual experience for me; it was an opportunity to feel the spirit of service, discipline, and humanity up close. This wasn't acting—it was an experience. I hope the audience feels it with the same spirit." — Shreyas Talpade, Indian Actor and Film Director
