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.
开始以为是个人性实验小品,看到后面又像个剧本杀,国产这类故事的通病是痕迹过重、巧合太多,都没有摆脱疯狂的石头的影子。
新人导演有想法但阅历和经验不够,除去范伟张颂文和窦骁的表演,本质就是个简单的半小时舞台剧,内核空虚,很多可以深挖的地方都浅尝辄止。还时不时要炫一下技,导致节奏拖拉,戏剧张力时强时弱。这类片子逻辑和伏笔很重要,但本片深究起来有些地方逻辑有问题,伏笔也只有锁柜子和手电筒。不完美,但是值得鼓励。

第一次看到导演栏里这样写着:编剧、摄影指导、导演。一般摄影这项,就算人家鲍德熹杜可风做导演,也不会把摄影(自摄)、编剧(自编)和导演(自导)放在一起列出。虽然摄影很重要,但还真没重要到跟编剧导演并列的程度。

打磨得很好的类型片,前3/4都很自洽,大多数钩子后的东西,人物的「不得不」都设计得意料之外情理之中。编剧用心,手艺不错,看得开心。
故事的设定很悬浮,演员的表演到是很不错。结尾的主题升华非常公式化。
多线性叙事的故事还算完整,但不高级,细节经不起推敲,槽点较多
換個導演可能比較好。事實證明不是每個人都能當導演。
摄影和配乐不错,导演想在同一空间去玩疯狂系列的多线叙事的想法也可以,但是从整体完成度上还是差点意思,也就达到了《火锅英雄》的水准,通过同一空间转场制造的闪回废笔太多了,虽然想靠不断加入的人物和故事线去营造反转,但是还是观感不佳,医院部分的结尾估计也是补拍,一下子把结尾某人黑化后的黑色意味冲淡了。(6.5/10)
虽然结尾慢慢成了闹剧,但是剪辑手法还算讲究,一个一个悬念展开,感觉还是蛮有意思的。
完成度非常高了,而且成片的多视角的来回时间线叙事使用的这很到位,但是这个底确实不够味道,前面的剧情在制造层层上升的紧张气氛,最后的底收在外卖小哥上实在对不起前面,感觉让人一泄如注,成为全片的命门,否则就是更好的佳作了,看来编剧编到这里也是黔驴技穷了。另外就是范伟的演出实在很棒。
叙事比较炫技,但是故事内核相对薄弱,有些地方比较刻意,水平不太行,浪费了好演员。
作为悬疑剧还算是合格的,但感觉后面有点滥用升格了。
非常拖沓,剪辑、节奏、镜头都有问题,要不是为了范伟和张颂文,谁会来看这种片子
这种片子在类型开头就必须有“巧合”要设置的妙,马明亮和人贩子的强行亲戚关系,就是另一大拙劣点,没有铺设的巧合,编剧为了故事继续只能强开“金手指”。最后一把火的意外,明显是故事编不下去,必须剧情杀三个,不然外卖员不会主动暴露。
剪辑有点点混乱 不够流畅 人物行为逻辑不够自洽 没能立起来 再加上碎嘴 消解了黑色幽默的节奏感 和绝妙的电影比 还差点火候
其实还不错的创意,很适合以小博大。但也许是过度追求风格反而破坏了“以小博大“的好好讲故事的感觉。那栋楼也因为过于戏剧化让故事的舞台剧感很重,范伟藏到床下发现尸体这么大的张力,却非要用很奇怪的电子音乐打断。但整体真的不错了!
可惜了,市场现状是悬疑必须搭上喜剧才能卖。
