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.
女游泳更衣室那段（但很失真啊，现实中游泳后公共淋浴谁还穿着泳衣啊？），倒是想到了《纺织姑娘》——王全安生活得多，既然进了公共浴室，那肯定是赤裸裸坦诚相见的。
父母在，尚有来处，亲情固然难以割舍，但也有久病床前的现实困境，电影这里太真实了！被重压撕扯的也远不止亲情……女主的爱情也难免不被拿来与父母的感情做对比，都是始于人性，终于责任，那到底孰轻孰重？
设定走窄了阿，泡泡包裹的城市怎么能就只剩跑酷和谈情说爱呢！果然世界再崩坏也从不缺浪漫，你看最后都消散了，但其实和梦都混在了空气里。
和父母有关的段落非常真实动人
题材似乎不新，剧本也有很多多余的地方，但很期待第二部电影。
呈现出的太多，讲明白的太少。镜头中的出现的一些元素其实是不符合时间逻辑的，而几处故事的推进和台词的表达让我觉得非常艰涩。对死亡的恐惧、对故乡的复杂思绪、以及对肉身的侍奉拼凑出了往古来今无数人头脑中挥之不去的畏葸和渴慕。又想到了莱蒙托夫的那句诗，“它想寻找什么，在这遥远的异地？它又抛下了什么，在那亲爱的故乡。”(4.5/10.0)
一星给作画，一星给音乐，一星给送葬队。以及男主你但凡少抱点女主都不至于她死那么快
旁边女生哭成泪人。某些镜头想起李沧东的电影，但就是没有李的那种感觉。
有几个镜头挺好，但前面像电视，后面像电影就很难受。
《人鱼公主》同人电影，密集恐惧症千万不要观看。
人生最难之事不过就是：活得自在和走得安详。
某导演的mv动画电影是垃圾，模仿垃圾的作品也只能是垃圾，白白浪费了人生宝贵的100分钟，还不如多看几集小新。
世界就是不断的聚合，爆炸，螺旋。我想既然是螺旋，我们总有一天还会再见的吧
人生最难之事不过就是：活得自在和走得安详。
阿尔茨海默症题材的电影，人的尊严和疾病之间的碰撞。几组长镜头很好，夏天和秦牧家里几场戏的镜头调度很好，多人在不大的家庭空间中交换位置、交谈和摩擦，如同人生病之后的被禁锢。玩球的小男孩有虚有实，结尾是致敬塔可夫斯基吗？整体老夫妇演得好，游泳馆和路过小公园的烟雾戏有点怪，有些小细节能更好：为什么老人说方言、年轻人说的却是普通话？母亲的爆发戏来的有点突然，夏天家里不走却滴答响的闹钟表意不太足，十几年前鬼冢虎就进入中国了？因为疫情导演没能到场，录制的视频只有打招呼、太少了点。
#2021深圳青年近卫军影展#竟然是东京物语+困在时间里的父亲+小伟，还是挺喜欢的，这个题材一定会打动人，最后也呈现得不错（据说有观众中途出去哭了好半天）。除此之外关于小女儿隐秘的情欲的部分是一个亮点，虽然在她的感情线方面处理还是有些问题（既然要疏离，就不该有偶像剧桥段）。但整个片子更大的问题是没有一个人有自己的个性，尤其是前半段，只展现病痛之苦，但并不呈现真正的家庭问题。既然是现实流，那还是需要在细节的真实性上下功夫的。两个老人演得比所有年轻人加起来都要好。
超神级的制作团队属实有点东西，无论是人物，动作，分镜还有音乐都是相当出色的，画面精美的不像话。最后感觉肯定是有人把刀架到老虚脖子上了，居然给了个不算太惨的结局
只能说除了画面，剧情不敢说很好也不能说很差，题材挺新颖的，几个漫画界的大导演一起拍估计也就这样了
【2022.05.31】画面还是挺唯美好看的，但是回归到电影本质的话，可不能只有画面的嘛！剧情虽然没什么特别的，不过也看得下去，主要还是这里面的设定，到最后也没解释清楚这泡泡究竟是怎么一回事呀！反正最后也不知道主题想讲的是什么就是了。
讲个笑话，虚渊玄×荒木哲郎×小畑健×泽野弘之×WIT STUDIO
