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.
喜欢这部电影，有意思，台词里的小机锋小心思，让人惊喜。中国要是有伍迪艾伦，也只能出现在上海。
不谈主义与价值观，则前半部是好戏，后半部在凑合。但一部现实主义基调的作品，从人设到剧情却都不现实，何不架空现实呢，就跟现在吹捧上海防疫如何精准一样，片中的上海不知道加了多少层滤镜甚至意淫，确实是“神话”。再者，女导演创作、女演员主演、迎合女性观众的电影不等于女性主义电影，相反，本片男权意识根深蒂固，不提示的话我还以为是男导演拍的。
当每一个梗都被电影所框定的受众群猜到时，多少就有些卖派了。
精致，浪漫，刻薄可爱，宛如置身于上海的街道，迎面遇上一群似乎装腔作势又似乎原应如此的妙人。人到中年情转克制，克制的浓情本身也是一种浪漫。
费里尼的魂灵不但以文字图画的形式飘逸各处，倪虹洁在KTV见徐峥那一段，更有费式歌剧般磅礴的怪异欲念（两个女人和徐峥谈画展的光影布局也是）。孤男寡女，徐峥追逐马伊琍只是推进故事的动因，倪虹洁和周野芒的老乌才是这部电影的精神（老乌和索菲亚罗兰的故事应该取材自北京慈善大亨李春平），只不过他们一个在声称自己足够危险却在独处时收敛张扬，一个讲述自己的故事并为之心折却又推倒否认，遮掩真实免得自己像个笑话，编导没停在那里自怨自艾，有闲有心情的中年友谊才显得动人，徐峥和周野芒闹矛盾，足足用了一组镜头表示他们不愿见面，片尾一班朋友看老乌不愿触碰的《爱情神话》，一个个昏昏欲睡中主线剧情的心电图恢复跃动，这是对这段友谊最好的祭奠了。几个出人意料的转折处理的顺滑（比如儿子的性取向），音乐、调度等环节都有巧思，看得舒服
和你们不一样，我是去看宁理的，而且因为讨厌爱情题材所以期待很低，看完居然老满意额。上海话亲切，音乐不觉得出戏，大话不觉得刻意，刻板印象不觉得尴尬，看前在首页刷到的所有“问题”都不觉得是问题（甚至很多事我或我身边的人都亲身遇到过，比如虽然不是上海人，前段时间去上海电影节赶场停自行车时被拦住，我知道老乌当时那种不快。
美貌多金的寂寞富婆，为何对中年发福的上海男人投怀送抱?
惊喜之作！清新、灵巧。从女性的视角讲爱情，很多观点输出戏谑又锋利。影片呈现出了鲜活的上海市井风貌。对白处处见机锋。颇有伍迪·艾伦电影的韵味。老乌的爱情故事堪称神来之笔，将遍布全片的细密日常一下盘活了，美妙，富有余味。甚至可以说，那些原本是主角的人包括徐峥马伊琍都成了戏剧意义上的配角，成了爱情神话的背景。爱情是什么？就像老乌的浪漫故事，似是而非，似真若幻，它是庸常生活里的光。结尾对神话又做了一重解构。对活在俗世里的人而言，一个邀约，一点庆幸，暧昧升温，神话降临，于瞬间照亮了琐碎而平凡的生活。
后半段绕进索菲亚罗兰里去了 由轻反重 堪称败笔了 整体上借力上海腔调 看得到灵光 温柔 平和 和一点点神性 佳作！
3.0。当国内电影丢下了讽刺社会的噱头进而以一种戏谑的口吻去探讨都市爱情的真谛时，观众终于不再被情绪所支配，而是平等地被邀请进入这场“对话”之中，获得短暂的影像-现实平等权，从此影像的本体被重新拉回本应属于观众的位置——与生活等同的地位，这种自反的尝试与谦和的态度无论如何都值得被肯定。我们也不难发现导演颇具作者性的镜头语言，在处理对话戏时有意摒弃了简单的正反打而试图去关注摄影机的运动轨迹，虽然其内生意义不显著但至少具备能动的作者意识。至于迷影的成分属于导演夹杂的私货，毕竟生活不是费里尼的电影，但身为一个电影从业者，即使发出“看不懂；好可怕”这样的牢骚，其艺术自觉也必然将其引向与大师的邂逅，这也难怪甜蜜生活不如爱情神话来得轰轰烈烈，因为爱情不需要生活中的甜蜜，爱情只是一个拒绝解构的遥远的神话。

不是爱情神话，是上海神话，是这个城市最好的一面，最温柔的一面，最有希望的一面。
比《北京爱情故事》高级了不知道多少层次的“上海爱情故事”。
是我看过的今年最好看的华语电影，剧情节奏明快，沪语台词里带着上海特有的“嘲叽叽” ，编剧精准地捕捉到上海生活中的琐碎，是真正的当代与都市的感觉，有一种小而美在里面。优秀的演员班底，把三个女人一台戏表现的淋漓尽致
不是爱情神话，是上海神话，是这个城市最好的一面，最温柔的一面，最有希望的一面。
喜欢 喜欢 喜欢 喜欢 喜欢 太会高明地讲故事了 十星不够 ps.儿子和女朋友那条线有点多余，如果儿子一定要存在，让他做个开心的gay好咯。 22.05
天呐！我看到了什么？影片用轻松诙谐的笔触解构两性关系，由此引申出人过中年的悲欢离合。市井生活的烟火气尽在其中，都市男女的众生相尽收眼底。名为爱情神话，实为人生图鉴。淡化传统三幕，专注日常片段，结构看似松散，实则独具匠心。以白描手法塑造人物形象，价值输出同样不偏不倚。台词妙语连珠，弦外之音更是值得玩味，搭配吴侬软语和精湛的表演，那感觉妙不可言。与此同时，场面调度游刃有余，摄影机从未缺席，轻盈地穿梭在街巷与人物之间，精准地交代着关系，调动着情绪。视听语言和文本内容浑然天成，场景、音乐、迷影等元素融合成独特的气质与魅力。这不就是中国版伍迪·艾伦吗？这样的作品出现在内地院线简直像做梦一样！如果说《雄狮少年》是端倪可察的黑马，本片则完全是意料之外的惊喜。2021年度华语电影十佳必有一席之地！灵啊~
有点点上海版小伍迪艾伦的味道，不同的是虽然剧情的推进是通过徐峥饰演的男性角色的，但影片是充满女性视角的，整体自然流畅又舒服。片子里有很多“冒犯”的、“造反”的、内涵社会现象和文艺圈现状的台词，也难怪这片口碑爆的时候有老导演看不惯看不起喷本片导演。我想“女人一辈子不造一次反是不完整的”也是导演本人的态度。
第一场群戏太好看了。举重若轻的试探和刻薄又不失有趣的讥讽完美融入了一场嬉笑怒骂中。这是普通人版的《完美陌生人》，是市井气版的《甄嬛传》。
油盐酱醋，加一点装腔作势，底色是懒散软弱，这就是爱情神话？
