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.
很明显是制片人主导的影片，不这样码盘的话真的出不来。段子电影，没有属于电影的时刻，画廊里那场戏，算是舞台剧调度。情节点、亮点都零零碎碎，本身故事过于简单，强行对调男女，拼命讨好女性，甚至不比爱情呼叫转移和非诚勿扰有韵味和深度，是拿上海话的幽默做的补充。结尾打破第四堵墙的方式挺尴尬，这还是舞台剧式的，不是电影的方式。好的地方是表演上基本都找得到真实生活的支点，哪怕是年轻演员，做到了取用其特点，相当于画画用对了颜色，养眼就好，技法就不谈了。说周野芒倪虹洁演技好，还是在于角色戏剧张力足，便于施展，从这里也更能看得出用对了人的重要性。整体来说，可能是我对它期待太高，近期最想走进影院看的片，看完又要被劝退一阵。
+0.5 不喜欢散装叙事，但肯定影院需要这样的电影。舒适的观影体验，不太成熟但不带工业感的行云流水太难得了。离别的悲伤刚刚好，读不进费里尼的大众仍一样，让期待着大道理和深层次观众落空去吧。不是那种导演按头接收信息的电影，所以某一观众的如何不认可、无共鸣之类都不会对另一有过多影响：荧幕里的桃花源就留在荧幕里不好吗？老拿现实抨击他干什么
可惜我太穷，不然会更爱。
舞台剧上海故事，假装没装滤镜，其实都快变形的伪上海生活，过于精致时髦，而没人间烟火。徐导就是骗炮的猪八戒，对话露骨比西方还西方，邻居打听一夜情，熟女自爆老公有外遇，什么个做人逻辑。一看混搭复杂培根鸡蛋早饭就反胃。妈个姘头，马上见女儿，婆婆，十三思路无与伦比。说徐导上海男人温柔，但看倒是像癞蛤蟆吃到天鹅后感觉内疚做出的补偿。狗血，晚上约炮，来神经病女人说自己老公事情，人家以为3P。一起为了模仿伍迪艾伦的局。暗含男性自大与虚伪，非找小老外比徐还矮，约炮给钱，暗示徐很壮？虚伪。第二次饭局还致敬费里尼，中国男人一夜情。还用老友去世来神化剧情。陵园道路，与一起看电影，致敬几部经典。既像玩成年人爱情观，又模仿经典电影，野心很大。只是略不伦不类，还有故事转折有点生硬，不自然。
音乐也是，宁波话歌曲虽然惊艳，但不太上海。英语歌很不正宗，网红店爱用的，哎败笔。
2.影片里有段倪虹洁和马伊琍吐槽男性导演/编剧的台词，我突然就想到了金庸，果然这些年被金庸笔下的女性角色带跑偏了。
设计感过重 靠台词和语言来表达观念 令人失望
或许，沉闷的费里尼属于影院而不是投影，毕竟评分才7.7，而热闹的这一部则更适合约上朋友吃着火锅唠着嗑在电视上看。
年度最佳的院线电影，能在年尾的电影院里看到这样的片子真是幸福。藏在平静庸常下的城市味道，算得上是上海情书了。只有上海才会有的浪漫做作与世俗生活的混杂，竟然在里面能找到中男中女的丰满内心。累，麻烦，但仍然有期待，大概就是爱情的力量吧……
从爱情片来看，有天真，有成熟。成年人可能不那么相信现实里有爱情神话，但碰到爱情的坑，躲也躲不过，断舍离不管用的。成熟带来包容，包容带来多元，多元爱情观的碰撞挺有意思。身为地域电影，上海故事，上海演员，上海风情。就像是爱情片但不限于爱情，这片地域色彩浓烈但风味也不局限于上海。
就俩字——无聊，一通流水账，这种肥皂剧情适合拍成电视剧，更何况早有《欢乐颂》的案例在前，一股中年男子还在意淫小资情调大谈特谈爱情观的油腻感扑面而来，我不相信上海土著的日常就是这般市井画像的拼贴，一切都来得太轻佻了。唯一噱头便是全片上海话对白，除了增加江浙沪观众的亲切感并没能传达出更深层的价值导向，满满的人到中年的阶层俯视感，矫揉造作地聊哲学加上无节制地堆砌网络段子烂俗到没谱。最后对着本尊的《爱情神话》揶揄一番，摆出一副膜拜大师却又亵渎经典的自大妄为之态，堂而皇之地搬出索菲亚罗兰装作要圆这个“神话”的真假，恰恰是向欧洲精英阶层彻底的低头。
自带伍迪·艾伦气质，拿腔拿调的中产“海派小品”。老乌这个角色抓住了上海少数“老克勒”的精光气，戏好人物佳，全片最为丰满。必须承认的是，影片拿大量配乐试图去缝合松散的叙事。叙事虽散但不乏舒适，娱乐一看已足够。
电影《爱情神话》让我的星期天鲜活起来，让我有了一个与众不同的星期天，是定格我人生某个时刻的重要电影。
3.5 像玩似的，感觉各位主创就像片中呈现，很可能一边吃饭一边唠嗑一边就把影片雏形给构思好了，显得特别放松；近期由此片所引发的热议乃至争执挺能说明些问题；正如疫情防疫措施各地对上海的好评一样，并不是有多热爱上海，而是一种期望能被理性对待和尊重的渴求，本片观众，尤其是女性观众未必不知道这并不是完全意义的上海的“真实”“现实”，而是一种冀望能被当成真正的人来理解、能过自己选择的生活而不必被人戳背脊指指点点的心理折射；所谓对费里尼的致敬不过是问费费大佬借了海报、剧照之类的外在梗，内里似乎更像是《欲望都市》式的意思；难得看到气氛好到如此程度的院线片，前前后后的陌生人都笑成一团；强烈建议在徐家汇商圈看本片，结束后可以顺道去天钥桥路白玉兰买蝴蝶酥
还是女人懂女人。喜欢徐峥美术馆那段“代表中国男导演给女性道歉”就是说非常一语双关了。中国电影终于又会好好讲普通人生活了
就……挺差的。处处都是露怯，为了展示这是个国际化大都市电影，处处都是虚假的多样性，假洋人假艺术家假劳动人民假有钱人假男人假女人，问就说其实是在讽刺中产，也没见真的戳到啥痛处，为什么放这么多歌，问就是我想要的就是这个风格，为什么上海没有外地人，为什么你觉得不是中产的要住市中心小洋楼，问就是导演身边生活的都是这样的人，这和当初《伊比利亚派对》的别问，问就是“略略略略略”有啥区别。
我还是挺喜欢的。有一段老乌自行车乱停的时候有个协警来赶人，老乌一边去停车一边骂骂咧咧，看口型是重新配音了。他实际上讲的是：册那，现在上海人要听苏北人的话了……我在电影院看了笑死，为了这快乐两小时我也要给四星的。 不过也能理解批评这部电影的人，主要还是人物和故事有点轻飘飘，没把内核讲清楚，反而是作为元素的上海文化反客为主成为最大亮点，这些元素服务于内核吗？其实是有点割裂的。而且那肯定是不经讨论的，美化到失真了，所以必然成为争议核心。我朋友说这个片子把上海元素去掉就不行了，深以为然。
中年人的爱情，小心翼翼，欲言又止，患得患失，没有年轻人的孤勇、洒脱、奋不顾身，没有非黑即白，只有真实的烟火气息。两个不相信爱情神话的人，最终还是有了自己的爱情神话。
意外的好看除去最后老乌那里故事不俗套，而且那种上海小资情调拿捏得很好，对于中年人爱情有了点向往。无论是街景还是主角住屋都让人喜欢，白虽然大腹便便但是会绘画、做饭，喜欢三位女士之间对话。
粉色的泡泡，飘得漫天漫地，整个世界美好得不真实。
