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.
没看过老版，就这个新版来看非常好，希望所有相信岐黄之术的鹅们好好接受科普，读心之骗术是可以编一个大全的。而且里头服化道那个精致程度，令人瞠目。
7.0/10 美术还是很不错的。非常私人的作者电影，本质上充斥的是怀旧情绪，缅怀了一去不复返的往昔。最后主角的阶级跌落形成一个完整的闭环，但已经与noir没太大关系了，而与nostalgic有关，从A故事上看他是被动的选择回归，但从B故事上看他必然回到马戏团这个场所，只有这样才能找回归属感，因为那是他无法逃离的“家”，这可能也是德托罗为什么执意要把第一幕写的这么长，最终回到原点即是以最病态的方式怀念旧时光。 #补标#
AMC 没看过老版的，故事节奏很差，导致两个半小时让我觉得过于拖沓，毫无必要；马戏团真没必要着墨这么多，和后面的故事发展有很大的割裂感。其他方面都很好，有点可惜。好莱坞大概真的拍无可拍了，不是炒冷饭就是炒冷饭，还炒不好，食之无味。
2.8 選角挺失敗的，最失敗的選角就是男主和心理醫生。布蘭切特的強大氣場已經成了一種能夠跳出故事的存在（這種每次一出場老娘碾壓死你的高位氣壓真的慎用）而庫柏太弱，老實人的臉演個魅力賊子總顯得有點蹩腳，老版的那種勢均力敵，棋逢敵手的氛圍全無，少了一層感受刺激。此外，全片的黑暗哪哪透出一股甜暖，填充一些視覺符號也是徒然，鏡頭太愛動了!差評嗚嗚
是长了点（前半段注意力很分散我...）但后半段渐入佳境 陀螺的视听风格演绎心理周旋很抓人 （感到Mara似乎被定型在某种character里...
整体太缓了，跟这个故事最不搭的就是时长了，第一幕太长，不过这个色调是真的好好看，很有《致命魔术》那味儿…
cooper依旧帅气迷人，电影进行到一个小时了才切入正题，全程无聊，最后一个反转还挺有意思的，本来自己是风靡一时的“心理师”最后还是上当被变成“怪人”喝酒的梗埋的好高级
充满震慑力的主线也好，丛生而相互关联的支线也好，都非常适合陀螺按自己的风格发挥。
摄影、美术真是一贯托罗的细致扎实，原以为会是一个魔幻故事，没想到是一个阿加莎式的故事
3.5 看的是巴黎Max Linder影院上映的黑白版。此片适合黑白，比彩色好，有些惊艳。
权力的置换和命运的循环。大魔王这种扮相真的太美了。
过于冗长，而且我对普信男没有兴趣。但凡这男的不那么自信，也不会输得那么彻底。大魔王绝了。马戏团题材挺好，可惜没有发挥到我的点上
不是我以为的那种故事。花了将近一个小时来铺垫太长了，哪怕看到后来发现了伏笔也并没有很惊喜的感觉。演员演技虽然出色，但角色之间的互动和交锋并不多，整个故事像是一场大型回忆。直到最后，才明白曾经众人眼中被视为异类的怪人原来是这么诞生的。
一个不错的创意最后却拍成了一个冗长无趣的故事，很难想象这出自潘神迷宫的导演，玛拉还是这么美，勉强三星。
【我通灵，却只看到自己荒唐的野心】
导演一贯喜欢的重口风😆节奏真慢。。上一个因为节奏慢没看完的还是一个明星的诞生😂
视效和美指无可挑剔，故事和节奏无fuck可说
这里有两部电影，第一部展示个人趣味，第二部完成情节任务。
豆瓣评分咋这么低啊？大家已经不能接受没有爆点的电影了吗？第一幕马戏团是陀螺最爱的光怪陆离世界，第二幕整个一硬汉派推理小说啊，第三幕是有点老套。这个故事真没必要搞成衔尾蛇结构，最后我本以为男主会说“I'm not like this“来个首尾呼应，结果出乎意料了。服化道完美，调色和构图都是最舒服的那种。
质感很好，非常讲究，没有失望。托罗的每部电影看下来有个感觉，似乎导演对影片的解读，会比影片呈现得更丰富，恐怕是因为在剧本之外花了更多心思。
