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.
小溪与河流汇聚成瀑布倾泻而下，然后又形成新的小溪与河流。平静的生活迎来新的打击与挑战，但你不要总问我“你还好吗”，我会努力变好然后和你一起生活下去。到底生活是什么样？人该活成什么样？品质与阶层的坠落不代表人性的坠落，看到小静从灾难中重新爬起缓缓前进，那一声“小静”不仅仅是母亲的呼唤，也是导演对于深受疫情打击的世界重新振作的美好期待吧。
“不要再问我‘你还好吗’，我会想办法好起来的。”整部电影都在疗愈人的情感，像是给这个乱象的世界留下一丝劫后余生的希望，会过去的，都会过去的。
作品质量蹭蹭往上走
新冠时期的母女生活，用惊悚片形式拍摄疾病。
口罩、大楼的帷帐、瀑布，刚好构成了一组由“蓝色”串联的，并覆盖身体、环境和精神的困境，最终，这组蓝色符号的逐一去除，则连接起女主角疗愈的全过程。
贾静雯进步明显。 不如阳光普照 更别提大佛这样的作品。 金马为了挺台湾电影疯狂捧钟 其实钟的作品并没有那么优秀。
瀑布破坏力再强，终归会沿着生活的河床化为涓涓细流
整体的电影色调是那种很舒服的明亮感，画面很通透，人物打光很足，故事是传统讲述和细腻表达，不过整个框架太平缓，没有太多的冲突，总觉得少了些强烈的主题，延续富有特色的清幽配乐，贾静雯和王静演技可以的（里面口罩大小不合适，总是不贴合面部；台湾的房产中介这么良心的吗，让人直呼666。）
三星半，贾静雯真的绝，为了最后一场戏多给半星也不是不也可以，同样都是98年的，刘浩存真的可以被王净按在地上摩擦，还有刘冠廷，尽管这里只有惊魂一瞥，但看过他其他几个作品，演的也真好，前段时间我看台湾的无声，都是年轻人或者中年演员，我总是奇怪，为什么人家的演技就那么好呢，内地的演员都在琢磨什么呢，
情节设置真的不得要领，贾静雯角色受创的躁郁，当真在屋外罩下蓝色帘布，解开心理惊悚，消除膈应就抓走客厅里的那条蛇？女儿的刻画倒是很大的亮点，以及最后呼应“瀑布”的水流，妈妈守得的获救，让人有了记忆点
母亲讨厌女儿告诉同学她生病了，这是她的隐私；
至于略显“神棍”及突兀的结尾，我反而挺喜欢。当“瀑布”飞流而下时，那是病因得以确诊的时刻，同时也是治愈的时刻。女儿从湍急的河流里被救出，母亲也从瀑布笼罩的暗处被释放。
五星
感謝鍾孟宏導演，再次有新作陪我過個好年。儘管《陽光普照》帶來的複雜情緒好久才散去，《瀑布》裡生活的艱難、母女間由對立到和解的真摯情感也需要花點時間再消化，但確實是部好電影。“不要再問我你還好嗎，我會想辦法好起來，跟你一起過下去。”對於一個人，一個“瘋”女人，一個母親，一個女兒，有時候壓垮她們的是家庭的束縛，而拯救她們的也是家庭的愛，女性的堅強不可思議。
在疫情的背景里，房屋被蓝色防水布遮挡，阴影与抑郁一起袭来，终于，所有的伤痛堆积，她被“病”保护起来，在阴影里舔舐伤口。也因为病母女关系对调，被照顾被滋养。整个过程像一次心理治疗。她还是选择了面对现实。着墨不多的清洁阿姨，超市的主任，住院的病友，都在释放善意和阳光，她可以晒阳光，也有阴凉地休息。
其实导致影片类型不停变化的原因都是贾静雯，但贾静雯到底在闹什么名堂实在令人费解，最后就是看一部片子好像在看好几部片子，并且哪一部都没头没尾
台湾拍家庭拍生活真的拍的好好啊，这部又征服了我。贾静雯真的很适合演精神不正常的角色，王净也不错。最后的瀑布是点睛之笔，暴风雨之后才是真正的彩虹。新冠已经彻底融入电影变为一个设定了。刘冠廷是从《火神的眼泪》来客串的吧。
开片就让人惊叹，口罩、隔离、降薪，这不就是眼前的现实吗？！我不认同有些豆友说疫情只是无关紧要的背景布，我觉得恰恰是疫情、隔离，让积压已久的情绪如泄洪般倾泻。扪心自问这年头谁不疯？情节虽然简单，却拍得十分细腻，色调构图，甚至空镜都相当合我口味，还有wawa哼的那首抉择，契合又动人。后半段看得我情不自禁落泪，Don’t sweat it ，我们会活下来的。贾静雯的演技征服了我，王净感觉是文淇、徐娇和徐璐的结合体，她有一双灵动、充满故事的眼睛，前途无限。
人生不如意事十之八九，要挺住，别崩溃。结尾女儿没有被冲走，感谢导演，生活总需要一点温情。
最近的确流了太多眼泪了，谢谢钟孟宏，谢谢电影。我也相信阳光会再照进来，糟糕的抑郁会过去，然后不时会再下起雨。晴晴雨雨的，人生就是这么一回事。
