Background:
First of all, I am the person who born watching 'Om Namah Shivay' series on Doordarshan. I hardly remember any part of 'Mahabharat' and 'Ramayana' which were popular mythological shows of their time. I exactly remember story of Om Namah Shivayand its cast. Perticularly Shankar and Devarshi Narad. When I was first introduced with "Devon ke Dev Mahadev", I neglected it saying that no one can take place of Om Namah Shivay series in my heart. After watching few ads and promo's of Devon ke dev Mahadev, I watched the show in January. After end of show, I said, "Amazing".
This was my story of linking with Mahadev. Now, Lets review the series. Remember that this is Running review. This means that Serial is On AiR and this review may be changed after completion of serial. We have our special methods of reviewing Entertainment related arts. For series, we will go on discussing following points one by one.
Acting:
Heart of the series is Mohit Raina who is playing outstanding performance as Mahadev in lead role. Looking at other characters, Devi sati impressed me a lot. Mouni Roy was perfect matching partner for Mohit Raina. Their on screen chemistry was fantastic. Third most impressed act has done by Saurabh Raj Jain as Lord Vishnu. The way he smiles is great.
All the other characters are just unforgettable. Devarshi Narad (Shailesh Dattar) should work on his first two words, "Narayan Narayan" as these words are identity of the character.
Songs and Music:
While starting the break, it is the background music which keeps me waiting for next slot of the serial. Luminious sound of "Shiiivaaa…." is fabulous. Composer Sandeep Mukherjee, Kartik, and composer duo Inder Bawra and Sunny Bawra has done the great job.
Direction:
What to write for direction? It is the lead reason why the series is getting highest TRP. Not only director Manish Singh and Nikhil Sinha, all supporting team is ideal choice for such mythological series. If this is their first mythological attempt, I congratulate them for the success.
Script:
As it is mythological theme based series. There is no scope to add our own masala. But actually, story board of serial is more clear than my expectation. Mihit Bhutia, Brij Mohan Pandey and Subrat Sinha had deepresearch before presenting any new character in series. Every little point is taken from mythological books.
Dialogues:
Generally, mythological serials have boring kind of dialogues due to influence of Sanskrit words into them. Language pack for Mahadev is touched with some Hindi words which gives ease of understanding with same quality content.
Length:
I am quite unhappy with the length. They stretch each and every moment of script for a long time. Can't they show it slight faster than now? I know they do it for TRP and stretching such events increases our enthusiasm, but it will be good if they do not stretch it more. Now a day, sometime I watch this series day after a day, because story never moves far in one episode.
Bottom Line:
After a long time, we received a qualitive dose of entertainment.
