Shiv Shakti - Tap Tyaag Taandav

I'm sorry but Devon Ke Dev Mahadev set a standard for such a mythological shows. That show had ensemble cast, there was no overdrama like this show. This show more feel like a drama daily soap rather than a mythological show. Lead actor's performance is not standout either. Lead actors doesn't give Shiva Parvati vibes at all. Costume and production design are average as well. Overall a disappointing show created by 2013 Mahabharat fame Swastik Production. I don't think anyone wants such a outdated style Mythological show in big 2023. Hopefully they will improve the show in the future. But chances are low.

I am not liking the dialogues the way it is shown, it's not giving the mythological show vibe the way it should. Shows like this should give you goosebumps but hardly it gives any powerful vibes. I liked at the beginning it was good but from the time Kartikeya is shown it's not justified, I mean his dialogues are just too harsh for his age and doesn't have respect for anyone besides his so called 7 Kritika matas. Even it didn't bother to show the Brahmacharini avatar, Chandraghante avatar, Skandmata avatar till now. And it is known that there are 6 Kritika mata who bought up Kartikeya and the show made it 7. Anyways the dialogues and script writer of Kartikeya needs to gear up to show Kartikeya as more refined and well bought up boy rather than a Brat who doesn't even respect Parvati as someone who is much elder to his age. Overall the show needs improvement in script writing as well as showing more better emotions.

My thoughts on Shiv Shakti vs DKDM:

Shiv Shakti is becoming really annoying, and the way they are stretching the final reunion of Shiv and Parvati is beyond frustrating. Currently it looks like a love triangle movie with Parvati trying to force Shiv to marry Ganga instead of her. Beyond ridiculous.

In Devon Ke Dev Mahadev I suppose there was also some fiction involved, but mostly it adhered to facts, didn't it? This one (Shiv Shakti) started out nice, but now I'm so bored with the storyline. They even made Mainavati into a female version of Daksh. And several other parts in this series don't match what I've seen in DKDM.

As for the actors, I like how this actor, Ram, portrays Shiva, and he is definitely a better dancer than Mohit, but I liked Mohit Raina better in that role, and that goes for the rest of the cast of DKDM as well; all of them fit their roles better than the cast of this series. I hope this one will get better, but at this point I'm wondering why I'm even wasting my time watching it. It's nothing more than a cheesy love story.

Oh, and I'm also getting fed up with the soundtracks. I loved the theme song of Shiv Shakti at first, but when they started using it over and over again, using other words and the Mahamrityunjaya mantra on the same tune, I had enough of it. It sounded awful. Whereas the soundtrack for DKDM is still so iconic.

Everything is perfect. The actor who plays mahadev, hiw dialogue delivery is a 10/10. Only the music is a little annoying. Actors who play shiv and Shakti are perfect for the role but others are not so good for example vishnu, you cant even feel if he is present there or not. Looks like an ordinary person sourabh raj jain did a really good job in playing vishnu in devo ke dev mahadev.

Comparatively to devo ke dev mahadev the actors do not fit into the characters without any fault of their own. Its just a matter of casting. Prajapati daksh doesn't look like a brahmin like the actor in dkdm did.

It's a good one. Totally gives goosebumps on every show with suspense. Hope it will be the greatest Shaiva centric serial ever. Overall this is a good one . For me it's 10/10. Well Just see that lord shiva shouldn't be emotional. Rather make him compassionate. Adi Shakti, daksh roles are perfect. Sticks to Shaiva centric. Hope you bring more and more great series like 19 avatars of shiva from shiva purana as it is given in shiva maha purana , 28 avatars from Kurma Purana. How mahavidya and navdurga of maa adi Parashakti is all related to shiva. Waiting with excitement for these stories to be inserted soon in the episodes. Bring great glories of lord Mahadev. Har har Mahadev.
