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.
失望至极，是枝裕和在不断商业化的妥协中彻底迷失，过往最重要的“以人为本”被各种强加事件所掩盖，煽情配乐每出现一次，就是对主题探讨深度的一次折损。韩国团队不过不失，但所有人都是在用行活去敷衍资本，与其说是拍电影，更像是一场和气融融的《导演请指教》，估计宋康昊自己也没想到就这么拿了影帝。
既然不是合适的出生为什么要生下来呢？？为什么会让iu问出难道出在生之前沙丝罪比较轻？我实在不懂这种顺应反堕胎的思想传达
不像是枝裕和的是枝裕和作品。也许是在韩国制作完成吧故事不如大师以日本为背景作品来真实细腻更像大师学韩剧韩影。剧情起伏都太刻意人物也不深刻其实宋康昊表演不算戛纳影帝水准也就正常发挥反观IU表演可圈可点，大导现在倚名卖名啊去法国拍完来韩国拍看看那天来中国拍吧？
看的打瞌睡了，估計以後對此片也沒什麼印象。
虽然我们没有奖，但是在群像戏里也算出彩了。
是枝裕和还是是枝裕和，但韩国不是日本，所以有点奇怪。宋康昊演每一个平凡的人物都有好强的感染力，在他对比之下其他演员的演技好像都平平了
3.5前面真的是什麼都好，一如既往的是枝裕和，慈祥的宋康昊、暖心的姜棟元、可以冷豔可以可愛的IU，韓味重到完全没有文化隔閡感，節奏以是枝作品來說是目前最輕快的一部，但是收尾真是一言難盡，可以載入是枝作品爛尾的第一名了吧，既沒交代清楚同時也收的不盡理想，也許這樣的故事注定難有讓大家都幸福的美好結局，但這次的收尾方式真讓我覺得是枝有些偷懶了。IU再次證明自己既是歌手同是演員的料，我的大叔不只是曇花一現，她把同樣孤高冷豔的表演帶到了這部，和姜棟元在摩天輪上的獨白戲全片最佳。生與不生，墮胎與遺棄終究是難解的議題，生出來前殺掉會比生出來後遺棄的罪孽輕嗎 ？將人口販賣組成類似小偷家族的無血緣組合，進行一場公路販嬰之旅，宋康昊没有任何突破，但今年頒給他坎城影帝是明智的決定，是時候該給他一次身為演員的肯定了
每个人的戏剧呈现与弧光是那样的曲滑至臻，
是枝裕和的电影总是择出社会上美好的动情的一面给观众看。
有温情但太多，有细腻但不足，有犯罪但不重，有黑暗但够亮，总之，比较平淡，是枝裕和这次是不是失手了？
爱是枝裕和，但这部和《真相》真的让人看得好累
过于温柔的小偷家族，角色构成和核心理念都非常相似。前半部十分平淡，人物转变也过于迅速。得到了后半部融入角色心理，行为动机才站得住。但也只是站得佳。故事里，无论是不得不拋弃孩子的年轻母亲，还是怀揣着伤痛做掮客的二人组，以及等待犯罪现场的警察，都对于买卖孩子这件事过于宽容。尽管不得不承认有些孩子也许卖了会得到一个更好的人生，但这是一场自以为正义的拿孩子人生的赌博啊。打掉孩子罪更轻，还是丢掉孩子罪更轻，也许不得而知。但可以肯定的是，这两者都是罪。是枝裕和式的细节元素还是比较有趣的，关上灯互相感谢对方来到世界的仪式也很温暖。这个剧本留给演员发挥的空间不是很大，其中宋康昊的演技还是比较细腻的。
日本导演拍的韩国电影，有些不伦不类。是枝裕和固然是一位好导演，但在处理更富有戏剧冲突的剧本时，他的功力是要打折的，即便是《小偷家族》都不好。此片就像包裹着日式清晰，但此类剧本通常处理起来需要韩式爆裂演绎的催化才更能感染人，所以故事始终缺了一份力量感。而这个结尾简直是牛头不对马嘴，仿佛开车出去无所事事逛了一大圈，怅然若失回到了原地，才忽然想起刚才是要出去买烟的。
是一个这么救赎的故事！
不知点在哪里，也不知宋为什么拿影帝。这届戛纳真的是乱评到荒唐。
不太理解为什么宋康昊通过这部没啥发挥空间的片子拿了影帝
这部片子里对于剪影的运用尤其多，黑暗里的静谧，沉默地勾勒出人物的轮廓，亦是情感的发酵。
可惜的是，在日本电影爱好者眼里，这部电影是一部韩国片。这是理所当然的啊！因为《掮客》的确是韩国电影。
是枝裕和大概是我看过的最喜欢描述亲缘和家庭的导演了，有没有生命是不该出生的？是否一定要血亲养育？这样一个随便死了就死了的时代，本片未免过于美好和天真了，没有人是恶的，每一个微小的生命都被认真对待，被伤害了也在努力原谅，如果这世界真如此该多好。
我已经不是适合看是枝裕和的心境了，但还是欣赏他大而化简。
