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.
最后半小时的反转有点为了反转而反转了。忽略掉印度电影已有的毛病，电影基础立意和表达都是非常完整和有张力的。乌合之众，程序正义，民意的操纵和引导，都是当今现实最值得关注的问题，在引起讨论和思考的角度上，电影做的挺好。
印度现实主义题材影片在题材震撼程度方面是越来越高，剧情叙述方面也更加庞杂，竟玩起了多重反转。美中不足是在影像语言和风格探索上始终原地踏步，甚至有些退步，不像韩影那样成熟多样。
世界上每一个角落都存在这种肮脏腐朽的不堪，但是敢于呈现在镜头之下，这本身就是一种文化自信和政治自信。
看惯了只在结尾最后五分钟的那种大反转，这部电影的反转提前了整整一个小时，我只能用shock来形容当时的观影感受了。唯二的缺憾，一是配乐太烂俗煽情，商业片气息扑面而来；二是结尾找补过头了，没必要花几分钟的镜头快速切换堆砌出一条新的故事线。总体而言，肯定是我天朝没办法拍出的好片吧
又一部印度神片，太厉害了！不得不说，印度就敢拍这一点，就让国内望尘莫及无数个层次！！！学术造假、性别歧视、媒体操控、公检法的万恶体制……几乎所有的点都说到了，个人认为任何人都应该看一看此片！除了震动、震撼、震惊……之外，我找不到词汇表达我看完之后的情绪；另外，很多时候，我们知道的真相真的就是真相么？真相背后是什么？真相是谁说的算的？其实都不重要，重要的是你相信了什么……连续反转，律师振聋发聩的诘问让人灵魂颤抖！！！
结论说的是唯有在这么棒棒哒的体质下，普通人才有机会干趴下手眼通天的大坏蛋，才能伸张正义，才有能力还人世间一个公道。
这是要拍续集还是留白啊，尬在中间了……重杀一遍人犯没有必要，前面交代得挺清楚了。女老师真好看，虽然逻辑不能太深究了，埋的线挖的坑也忒多了，填没填导演自己还搞得清吗？简单点，故事说得简单点，去掉不必要的，会更好！所以那么好的题材，最后突出一个复仇吗？最后真是败笔。总体还是很值得一看的！
严格来说片子的镜头语言一般，甚至偏差，但题材敏感，创作团团有勇气拍，审核又通过，说明印度电影在进步！
律师除了嘴炮担当好像也没有调查什么吧（调查文件不是警察给的吗)，这狠话放的让我莫名其妙。
有两次反转。刚开始看的时候想到了前段时间发生的唐山事件，当然这部电影不止于此。政治，教育，体制，法律，舆论，媒体，涉及的内容更多，以至于演员也多，对于脸盲患者来说有点困难。
就可以让我给满分。
不管这部片子中的反转有多少是可实现的，逻辑是不是缜密，但是不妨碍这是一部非常有力量的影片，整个积极向上，每个人物都有昂扬的精神内核。从头到尾都被深深吸引，看完觉得热血沸腾。
立意超高的电影，案中案，反转又反转，寻求正义的群众看完会高潮的那种爽片——只不过最后揭秘副警督和律师的背景那部分可以不要，对于一部宣传社会正义的价值观，应当是法理和道德律双重约束下的群体性正义，是如同片名（也是印度国歌）的《Jana Gana Mana（人民的意志）》，而不应当是因果报应这种玄学命理，那就格局小了；尤其是还要暗搓搓铺垫续集的引子，唉，那格局简直是开始歪了……
另外国内影视作品的局限之一是只能说环境是好的，坏的是某个中层，以至于对社会话题无法有深刻的讨论，只能说这特例的特殊性，没有延伸的讨论和反思的空间，不过这就是想要的盛世
【6.5-】看完回想这个故事一开始到底起始于什么主题，女性主义、社会movement 、法律与正义、后真相、种姓制度、政治阴谋…无数次剧情“反转”的背后也是主题的反转，大部分问题讨论到一半就被另一个问题所替代，两个半小时的篇幅仍然没有一点让人喘息的空间，导演似乎想把整个印度社会都放进影片中，放大每一个相关者的情感，但终究在一次次的抒情、闪回与反转中再而衰三而竭。就像片中法庭戏上的那句台词说的，问题太多，每十五分钟就要高血压一次，直到最后疲惫到无力关心人物与事件的结局。凭借剪辑与叙事诡计造就的人设反转又何尝不是一种后真相时代的叙事常态呢？最遗憾的其实是，这些我们一个都拍不了的主题他们都能拍，但大多都只浅尝辄止了。
四星，剧本，反转都很出彩，但最后10分钟信息量爆了，有些逻辑没理太轻。多一星给鼓励，印度电影最近真的勃勃生机啊~
法庭戏精彩，最后塞进的反转信息过多，显得稍乱，前面可以减少时长，电影就会精炼些。
最后的革命万岁太燃了！尽然在印度电影里看到了希望！反转再反转再反转，印度神作绝不会让你失望，总是会感觉诚意满满！看了整部电影除了剧情非常抓人，让人赞不绝口外，仿佛用一部电影一日游浅浅了解了整个印度。
总有人说，印度电影可真敢拍啊，韩国人可真敢拍啊，我有点怀疑，有没有一种可能，在某些地方拍片子并不需要那么多勇气，不需要克服什么恐惧感，也不存在什么敢或者不敢，人家只是正常拍个电影而已。
电影题材是好的，但是大家没必要印吹和妄自菲薄
