Devon Ke Dev...Mahadev is the story of the Hindu God Shiva, also called as Mahadev. The show portrays his journey from a hermit to a house holder. In the show Shiva takes many incarnations and many incidents take place. However, this plot mentions only the major events.
The story starts with the tale of Shiva's marriage with Sati. Sati who is the daughter of Prajapati Daksha, a staunch Vishnu devotee, is drawn towards Shiva against the wishes of her father. She finally marries Shiva, but soon dies by self-immolation when her husband is insulted at the yajna of Daksha. The grief-striken Shiva produces Virabhadra, who slays Daksha, however he restores Daksha's life after beseeching of Daksha's wife. A distraught Shiva leaves with burnt corpse of Sati and wanders the universe. Vishnu severs the body into pieces, shattering them on earth. Shiva transforms the pieces into Shakti Peethas, embodiments of the power of the Goddess Adi Shakti.
Sati is reborn as Parvati, the daughter of Himavan, king of the Himalayas and Mainavati. She is also the sister of the river-goddess, Ganga. Parvati is raised in the hermitage of the Shiva devotee sage Dadhichi, who teaches her devotion to Shiva. Parvati grows up and like Sati, is captivated by Shiva. She slowly remembers her past life, then wins Shiva by her austerities leading to their marriage.
Shiva and Parvati give birth to Kartikeya, who slays the demon Tarakasura and his brothers. Kartikeya is also nominated for the throne of the King of Devas but Shiva asks Indra to continue as the king. After this Kartikeya is sent to the Dakshin (south) where he is cared by Meenakshi and here he slays the demon (asura), Tripath with her help. The story goes on with the tale of the destruction of Tripura, belonging to the revengeful sons of Tarakasura, who were earlier given boons by Shiva. And just before the destruction of the Tripura, Shiva and Parvati's daughter, Ashoksundari is born.
After the destruction of Tripura, except Lord Indra (the King of Devas) everyone congratulate Shiva for destructing Tripura and also for being the father of Ashokasundari. Rishi Durvasa gives him a special garland, which Shiva gave Narada as prasadam. When given Lord Indra accepts the garland placing it on the trunk of his elephant, Airavata to proof that he is egoistic throws it. This enrages the sage and he curses Indra and evryone to be bereft of all wealth and fortune. Soon later to take revenge on the destruction of Tripura, King Bali attacks heaven and in attempt to steal Amrita (nectar of immortality). But it falls into the Ocean of milk. To get the Amrit back Devas join hands with Asuras to churn the ocean for the Amrita and to share it among them.
The churning of the ocean, known as Samudra Manthan is an elaborate process. In the process the Devas disadvantage the Asuras in many ways. Despite this, they churn the ocean. In the process Lord Vishnu also takes his second incarnation of a turtle, Kurma.
The process releases a number of things from the ocean. One product is the lethal poison known as Halahala. This could contaminate the ocean and destroy all of creation. To save everyone Lord Shiva inhales the poison in an act of self-sacrifice but Parvati rescues him by pressing his neck to stop the poison from spreading. As a result, the color of Lord Shiva's neck turns blue. During the churning many things are obtained from the ocean which includes Lakshmi, the Goddess of fortune and wealth, who is the eternal consort of Vishnu. Thus, everyone gets their wealth and fortune back. Later Vishnu takes the Amrita secretly from the Asuras and distributes it among the Devas.
The story takes some years leap after which it is shown that Kartikeya has been removed from the post of Senapati(head of the army), which pleases Indra and for the first time after so many years, a grown-up Ashoksundari meets Kartikeya. Kartikeya also meets his parents. He enlightens Ashoksundari about meditation and she inspired by it so much that she renounces her life to meditate, which disturbs Parvati.
Looking at the ill happening of the world, of how Ahalya is seduced by Indra, Mahadev come indside. Even after Mahadev tells that he is his father and many other gods tried to tell him, he still refuses. Mahadev got angry and cut Vinayak's head.
讨论的话题非常有意义,剧情反转的设置也很爽文,但就一个问题,印度的法庭是可以这样随便一人show的吗?
正义?活的长才有正义,死了就要靠别人的良心和勇气为死者声张。副督察的自首式反转有点突兀,起源是他儿子的车祸,老实说也很奇怪。除了这点其他立意反转都很好。
题材加一颗星 敢想敢说 但说好一个故事的各方要素都太薄弱了
首先夸配乐。大气又紧迫感十足。
怎么说呢,这个剧情,真的会让我感到emmmmmmm
从各种禁忌社会议题到揭露政府黑暗面,印度电影的题材似乎永远没有边界,而我们只能在墙内望洋兴叹吧
别笑话人家说人家是阿三了,人家至少在前进,咱们虽然领先但是在倒退,最后早晚会被超越
一般,比较超现实,可能是翻译问题,我还是搞不懂副局长最后为啥要自爆,自爆了也没有把幕后操纵者揪出来啊?里面人物的行为缺乏充足的动机,很情绪化。配乐和台词不错,煽动性很强,印象最深的是“让提问题的人沉默,给讨论的人戴上手铐”
印度确实在反映社会题材上别出心裁,从我滴个神啊的外界视角看待印度问题到皮胡针对儿童问题上再到宿敌的政界阴谋,不同于韩国的悲天悯人之情怀讲述全斗焕执政时期其暴行,亦别于日本的小众瞩目之温情讲述本国奇人异事、感人故事,印度电影往往有种大刀阔斧的沉重感,笨拙但是直接,深入骨髓的力度揭露社会痛点。

政治家最大的武器,是公众的情感,拍成这个程度,我真的大为震撼,发现开头萨芭追悼会致辞的就是那个畜生博士导师,气死了
用一个案子把好几个社会问题串联起来,而且还有个特酷的反转,着实牛逼。电影里面的四首曲子编曲水平随便拉一首出来都比国内的主流抖音神曲强不少。
导演和编剧尽了最大的努力将一个如此宏大、深刻、复杂的问题结构化地叙述和表达出来。结尾稍显仓促和混乱,但瑕不遮瑜,敢拍能拍这才是最重要的。
里面要讲的故事都是好故事,但这部电影没有讲好这些故事。但还是感谢这部电影让我认识了印度,让我再次意识到政治的残忍和民众的无可奈何,民众只能被操纵不是吗,他们只能被给出的部分真相牵着鼻子走。以及,这部电影最后不还是落到了政治斗争上面吗?只有哪边获胜更让民众受益罢了。
因为想要探讨的话题比较繁多,所以在剧情的设置上感觉异常地丰腴,与其说是电影,节奏感上更像是一部迷你剧。印度的种姓,司法公正,政治,媒体,社会舆论……几乎都被覆盖了一遍,导演是很明白民众的情绪走向的,所以几处剧情在刻意为之的情况下确实非常有煽动性,但整体看来印度片对人物的刻画还是比较薄弱,许多情节冷静下来思考缺乏一定的合理性。不过看到片中许多台词,真的很难不对号入座,所以,我们的宿敌又是谁呢?
PS.印度社会矛盾真的到了这种程度了么?如果在如此大的矛盾环境下,这样的电影能拍出来并上映,那印度政府的包容性真的值得点赞。
就是比韩国电视剧还扯的剧情在印度就能发生,是巧合吗?不,是命运的安排……
"媒体的存在是为了报道真相 还是媒体所报道的一切都是真相?"
民众的声音太好引导了
一个反转再反转的电影,印度熟悉的抨击社会的题材,节奏和情节堪称完美
