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.
Struggling to decide whether I like the film, the entire casting, or Maggie Gyllenhaal. A bit rough at the beginning. The best cast credit card I've seen. The score is so good that even I noticed it, also Peter Sarsgaard's chest hair... I think I love this film.
三点五星。虽然作为一部电影很多地方都有些平庸，但我反而也不排斥非常聚焦于情绪的表达。我觉得至少Elena Ferrante的风格很明显。Motherhood. Womanhood. So precise.
适合所有为人母或者即将为人母的女性看，这片子的音乐很棒，特别是片头，片尾那首
Walking deep into the sea of self. 我觉得最绝的地方就是女导演让观众直面一个事实：当一个被婚姻困住、被生育束缚的母亲，被问到在女儿三五岁的时候选择离开的感觉，她可以含着眼泪说It's amazing.
暗流涌动地探讨了女性作为母亲的角色是否是可持续的 女性在家庭中的责任是否是天然的 真的平权是女性也有摆烂的权利 只是人生苦海 扑腾几下已筋疲力尽
得跟买股票前的风险提示一样，让打算要娃的父母深刻理解潜在风险再行动，不然就是害人害己
当我们以局外人的身份审视“女人对于家庭的责任”时，女人出轨，对子女的不负责任，为了事业抛弃家庭，都成为她被我们唾骂和谴责的理由。
若有若无的窒息感。为什么离开又要回去呢？自己给自己做出的枷锁。
怎么讲呢 五味杂陈吧 女儿和母亲的关系本身就很难描述 是一种极其特别的情节。爱 嫉妒 恨 眷恋 牵挂 参照物 又十分想要避免被别人看出来有彼此的影子。这个女作家的小说本来就很不好改变，电影拍出了女性复杂又无解的心理状态，但同时这不是一部拍给普罗大众观看的电影，因为它需要很多的心领神会。
依赖了女主角精准出色的表演
精彩绝伦的处女作。寇曼演得太让人相信了。可惜，过去的片段几个矛盾点拍得太具体了。
Heavily used soundtrack. Could be better with less.
隐忍隐忍再隐忍 压抑压抑更压抑 对女儿的回忆全都充斥着聒噪 看了更加不期待生育了。 母亲应该只是一个选择 为何社会把它设为了必选项。以前看过一篇文章叫《我后悔成为母亲 但我不敢说》大概是想表达同一个意思 母亲是很伟大 但请不要剥夺母亲作为独立个体仍然会有自己的追求。
【6.5+】恼人的孩童叽喳声，以及令人全程不安的环境，这些看似失衡的元素并非缺点，而啥好是女主最真实的感官体验。但是一些停留时间过长的特写还是有些毁坏观感。
其实都只能证明导演既没能力打造出一个完满的人物，也根本就不相信他们写出的人物。
一个中年女人在海滩度假 目睹了一个三口之家的甜蜜 同时也伴随着争吵 背叛 无力 这一切引发了她和自己两个女儿之间的往事 所有的亏欠都难以弥补 因为生命是一趟单程列车 有去无回。。好在结尾的电话预示着母女关系的缓和 但那些伤扣总在暗处 隐隐作痛
很多幸福的瞬间，却仍抵挡不住累得想放弃。那些隐秘的，向内挖的伤痕，也许只有经历过才能切肤感受。
能看出来是伪欧洲艺术片的美国独立电影 不过最后的结尾真的好绝 恐婚恐育只想在电话里当母亲 想要给予爱更想要自由和呼吸 （will sandwich笑到了
母亲弃女记和海滩梦魇都是有意思的题材，但剪成这样完全不知道在看什么。
她好像终于原谅了自己。可当时如果不逃离那个环境，就再没机会拥有自己的人生了。
