OM NAMAH SHIVAY

Following the great success of the series, Mahadev WILL be made into an ENGLISH MOVIE! With the technology and graphics and sets that have already been used, it is easily seen as worthy enough of an English film!

The best portions of the series could be shot again in English for a 3 hour film focusing on simple philosophy that people who do not know of Mahadev or Hinduism could understand.

This will hit especially well in America and London where mystical stories like Lord of the Rings have been big successes and Indian films are being welcome with films like Slumdog millionaire and the life of Pi <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/82.11.184.125|82.11.184.125]] ([[User talk:82.11.184.125|talk]]) 23:17, 20 July 2013 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Padmavati? ==

I'm trying to resolved the DAB link for Padmavati.

The article says that these actresses: Falaq Naaz / Ragini Rishi / Rubina Dilaik

palyed the parts of:

Goddess Lakshmi / Haripriya / Vedavati / Sita / koRadha / Rukmini / Satyabhama / Padmavati[disambiguation needed]

However, IMDB only shows these actresses only played Lakshmi and Sita. Where is the information that says they played these other characters

As for Padmavati, I'm wondering if maybe this should be [[Padmavathi]] instead?

== Religious or Mythological? ==

An IP address user just changed the genre from mythological to religious. Was there a consensus on whether it should be either of those? What would be the correct term? [[User:BlacknoseDace|BlacknoseDace]] ([[User talk:BlacknoseDace|talk]]) 12:30, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

:{{ping|BlacknoseDace}} Hi there, I've seen this sort of thing in other TV articles related to Hinduism, where editors fervently wanted to change "mythological" to "historical" because as devotees of Hinduism, they consider it the unassailable history of their world, where ''objectively'', the show uses characters from the Hindu mythology. There is some erroneous perception that "mythology" is pejorative, obviously because in common parlance we call falsehoods "myths". But we don't typically cater to ignorance. The editor who came by to change the wording here said [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Devon_Ke_Dev...Mahadev&diff=959746687&oldid=959694713 Replaced an inappropriate word "mythological" with "religious"]. Well, "mythological" is not inappropriate--it's how most scholars would describe any legend. When I brought this matter up to the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Noticeboard_for_India-related_topics/Archive_70#Query_about_history_vs_myth Noticeboard for India-related topics] in April, some regulars felt it was normal to describe this sort of thing as mythological. [https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/tv/news/hindi/why-mythological-shows-have-been-ruling-indian-television-during-the-lockdown/articleshow/75832699.cms Times of India] considers it a mythological series. Even [https://www.hotstar.com/in/tv/devon-ke-dev--mahadev/s-4 Hotstar], the company that made it, considers it a mythological series. So there is no justification to deviate from that.

::Thanks for clearing that up. I see the genre has been changed to mythological again, so I suppose this is resolved. [[User:BlacknoseDace|BlacknoseDace]] ([[User talk:BlacknoseDace|talk]]) 22:38, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
