Mad

I have never seen a movie this good. It has all important features, comedy (everywhere), drama, and action (very little, but still there). Amazing acting by Sangeeth Shobhan (Damodar/D. D), Narne Nithiin (Ashok), Ram Nithin (Manoj), Vishnu Oi (Laddu/Ganesh), Karthikeya Samala (Siva). How could I forget, the girls, Sri Gouri Priya (Sruthi), Ananthika Sanilkumar (Jenny), and Gopikaa Udyan (Radha). I have to say, that Raghu Babu (Principal Purushottam) and the "seniors" in the first half of Mad, did some superb acting. I do want to say that a lot of people have overlooked the cinematic brilliance of Vishnu Oi (Laddu) and Karthikeya Samala (Siva), Laddu's comedy lines, and overall expressions were to die for, and Siva's dark humour topped it off. Big thumbs up, to Kalyan Shankar, as he directed the movie very well. Have to say, that in Mad, that the actors worked really well together, and everybody got equal roles. Which ended with us seeing Ashok's rich background and love affair with Jenny. D. D's comedic love angle with Vennela. And, to top it all off we got to see Manoj's charisma, or as the Gen Z call it his rizz. The songs, were nice like College Papa. Overall, it is a must-watch movie, you can watch it with family and friends, and does not have unnecessary swearing, or vulgarness. I found it so good that I have watched it 4 times already, and you never know how many more. You can watch it in English, Hindi, Malyalam, Tamil, Kannada, and Telugu on Netflix. So, 10/10 from me, most likely from you too!

The film in question, while lacking a substantial narrative, primarily revolves around its youthful characters and the exuberance they bring to the screen. It offers a mix of amusing and less engaging scenes, with moments of humor interspersed throughout the storyline. The ensemble cast delivers commendable performances, although it is Sangeet Shobhan who truly steals the limelight with a standout portrayal.

From a technical perspective, the production values are commendable, showcasing a level of craftsmanship that is worthy of note. The cinematography and musical score, while not exceptional, contribute adequately to the overall cinematic experience.

However, where the film falls short is in its direction, which appears to be somewhat amateurish and lacking the finesse one might expect.

Considering the overall package, it may not be deemed a must-see in theaters. Instead, it could find a more suitable viewing platform on an OTT (Over-The-Top) streaming service, where viewers can enjoy its youthful energy and moments of humor at their convenience.

"Mad Movie is a delightful cinematic masterpiece! From the moment the opening credits roll, you're in for an uproarious journey filled with side-splitting humor and wacky escapades. The ensemble cast's performances are nothing short of brilliant, and the screenplay is a work of comedic genius. With a mix of slapstick humor and clever wit, this film keeps you laughing throughout. The visual effects and set designs add to the spectacle, making it a visual treat. Whether you're a fan of comedy or just looking for a fun time at the movies, Mad Movie delivers it all. Don't miss this uproarious, feel-good film that's destined to become a classic!" 🎬😂👏

Very superficial movie. Didn't meet expectations. While some jokes land, most of the movie is filled with generic college stuff. Lacking in depth. DD character felt properly portrayed. Everyone else seemed highly artificial. There are many other movies dealing with college subject in a mature and sensitive way like Kirik party or Hridayam. Agree that there is no lag, can go for it only if interested in mindless dramedy for 2 hours.

The entire movie was filled with unrealistic scenes of alcohol and smoking which seemed to go on forever. None of the love stories had effect. Nothing memorable to take away from this movie.

RATED 9/10 Language: Telugu Source: Netflix RECOMMENDED

First Kudos to director to prove that still we can make the college days story without any cliche and fresh. The new faces added more freshness to the presentation.

The movie started as very average college story and routine intros. But later it got kick started to new age and the quirks worked out very well..the actors delivered the one liner very well and clicked in most of the places.

I enjoyed this watch, eventhough some scenes are made like TV serial. The overall presentation, songs and comedy made this one as a wholesome entertainer.

Must watch and get thoroughly entertained.
