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.
神似《四个婚礼和一个葬礼》，但毕竟是描写会烧菜的上海爷叔，所以变成了《四次下厨和一个葬礼》，老白全片确实下了四次厨房无误。
失望多于惊喜，新时代消费主义国产片，消费的一定是女，被嫖的一定是男，住的是市中心，约的是咖啡馆，掼浪头要费里尼，开画展要在外滩18号， “断舍离”，“送上门” ，像男主角家里的一幅幅画一样一个个标签符号横飞，台词直白抖机灵，虽然没觉得媚上海，但是很媚女观众，一边暗搓搓地搞暧昧一边把男权思维喷得狗血淋头，为什么彰显需要贬低作前提，我们的电影不是0就是1，永远看不到融合的0.5
讲普通话的故事总像伪造的生活空间，太假；多数讲方言的故事又乡土气太浓，不是自己那块乡土就难代入，好像都离我们的当代生活很远。上海话由此成为一个特别的存在：熏染着烟火气，又流动蹦跳着城市化的海派精神。所以听起来格外神清气爽。海派让人歆羡的是恰到好处：不端着的精致、不油腻的世故、不过火的机锋。有一脉得自传统的人情温厚，但更多是西化的对他人生活方式与个性的尊重。电影在两性关系的处理上也是如此，脱去了男性视角对秩序的强调和笨拙滞重，而显得轻盈利落；但对男性的观点又并不咄咄逼人，赋予男性角色善于自嘲的气质，让双方在情感探讨中真正成为对话而非对立，各具魅力的存在。私家菜变大锅饭那段，修罗场爱好者看得大满足。
优点很明显：时髦、舒服、立意好、三个女演员光彩熠熠；但缺点也很明显：故事和主题都太散，看到老乌死了以后就在想不会就这么结束了吧还什么都没讲呢，虽然最后一段落脚在爱情上，但总觉得太弱太淡了
绝大部分电影都是有时态的。比如看港片，《八星报喜》《精装追女仔》《赌神》都是过去时，《智齿》《浊水漂流》《拆弹专家》是现在时。我特意去学习了一下关于这片的讨论，发现无论是正方还是反方，尤其是激烈抨击此片的，都没太理解片里吴越说的三个字“过去式”或者被那看画的路人甲文艺中年重复了一遍的"过时”到底指的是啥。拍片的人是不是心里有数呢，也许是宁愿做梦吧。当年老崔有句著名的歌词“不是我不明白，这世界变化快”，执迷于校准片中生活与人物或者为其辩解的，不是沉浸于还活在过去的错觉里，就是还没分清此时到底是过去还是现在吧。
《李小姐的高跟鞋》《她相好的就是北方人》《我编的》…维斯·安德森之后迎来伍迪·艾伦，中年男人的爱情与家庭碎一地…总之，恭喜徐峥老师找到全新口碑密码。
另外，难道就找不到一位上海的年轻演员吗？一个上海味的片子，普通话都显得异样。找一个同样文化环境的演员很难吗？
重点在于展示出了一种不被传统羁绊的新的中年模式。
喜欢的，四星主要是都是方言削弱了我一部分理解。片子的小东西太多了，比如红拂夜奔，比如男孩美妆博主，比如三个女人第一次偶遇吃饭，比如充满哲学的修鞋匠，比如白辛苦不辛苦，比如三个人在画展厅的那场戏。嬉笑怒骂间好像没说什么又好像什么都说了。说爱情又不完全是爱情，我理解的是爱和情。白辛苦一场，但只要是自己想的，那就不辛苦。老乌故事中的女主角是谁早已不重要了，重要的是一定有那么一个人在你的内心深处。本片的女性群像刻画的相当丰满，对于男女性的探讨有深度又不冒犯。影片最后投影的灯光打在荧幕上，像在看电影，像在看你。
观看的时候，笑的神经的确有被调动，也呈现了近几年华语电影里松弛有加的人物形象，已算是相当奢侈的创作。但这种趣味性和地域的关系有多大，是存疑的。就像国际学校、混血儿、懂得Jimmy Choo的小皮匠……这些符号在多大程度上构成上海的特质，也是需要被讨论的。法租界成为一个容器，承载人们对城市的想象，在电影框架内构成一个过于简化却行之有效的逻辑。
意外之喜，你知道这年头在中国内地大银幕上还能看到意外之喜有多难嘛？ 比你遇到爱情都难
预定年度最佳，目前为止看过最好看的商业电影，有趣又有深度，难能可贵。
每个城市都应该有这样一部电影。一开始有点伍迪艾伦的感觉，后来就是全是白描，也不输出什么价值，就是展示一下生活的断片。有几个片段看得出是特别精心准备的，一点点小刻意，凝结出一点诗意。
《爱情神话》告诉我们，把生活里细枝末节犄角旮旯的小片段搬上荧屏，会有多有趣，女人有了清晰的脸和不被人揶揄的情感表达，会有多鲜活。整个电影就是一个字：灵～
有意思，带着一种「教育男人」的姿态来创作。老白唯一一次露怯，是他的哭泣，发生在老乌的死之后，而老乌又是一个被曾欧洲国宝级别的女人「教育」、「点化」过了的男人。剧情陡然的变化，是从发出妖艳灯光的美术馆那里开始，在那里，老白像一个学生一样，乖乖坐着，说「前两天刚刚被上过课」、「活到老学到老」。然后接下来，两个女人就像完成了任务那样，结束了斗争，不再争夺白老师，突然就握手言和了。「老白的爱情」停住，接上索菲亚·罗兰的那个故事，然后走进结尾的那场早就想好了的放映，大家都看不动——得出结论，「神话」不重要，生活比较重要，然后最后好心地给了这个男人一些可期的甜蜜。是一个很懂「试探」、「过招」、「来回」的创作者，但是不愿意显露真情（顶多就宣泄一些愤怒），不过应该是个好玩的人。
1马伊琍的角色就是个见过好东西装逼的文艺逼 精致且落魄 慕强被割韭菜 心高气傲 反手就给一顶绿帽 你前妻都追不上 但凡人设立住李小姐你都不该找个老实人接盘 你喜欢老白的动机是什么 应该一婊到底 老实人我不要 你人好 我帮你可以 处对象门没有 要婊出骨气
永康路画画喝咖啡，五原路买果汁修皮鞋，东湖路蹦迪，外滩十八号办画展，饭桌上摆着桂花糖藕和春卷，汤碗里是甜滋滋的酒酿圆子，看电影要配上老大昌的苔条饼干和天玥桥路的蝴蝶酥……
观感就和看微博段子差不多油腻恶心那种，上海和上海女人被黑的最惨的一次，看到有博主把它比作国内版真爱至上诺丁山我要气疯了瞎成这样了吗！！！！
假模假样，侮辱智商。片中涉外形象（租户亚历山大、英国混血小女生）充斥着生造与漫画化，女性塑造甚至更为虚假不堪，全片散发着一种中年男心有不甘的性幻想气质。电影不忍卒观，后面剧情发展是家属告诉我的：徐峥的感情线没有实质进展，而自诩索菲亚罗兰前尘炮友的邻家男竟然受这位老女星在片场晕倒消息的刺激，酒后一命呜呼（！），身后被发现他的住房还真是欧洲人（暗指罗兰）出钱关照的（！！）。天方夜谭呀这是。徐峥父子戏还有点温暖的人情展现。其余如路边修鞋匠眼尖看出名牌高跟鞋售价一万多，并且出口就是英文长句，多属捏造，越显摆越暴露土劲儿。据一条，原来编导是才满30岁的九零后，外地人，剧本原先也是以普通话写的，年龄阅历不到，写中年人的感情世界还是隔靴搔痒啊。本来没想到是女生编导；所谓跳出男性凝视却落入女性脸谱化的窠臼。
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。
