AkshithP-6

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!

If I am being completely honest Mad Square is not even close to Mad. Mad, had that effortless comedy, amazing storyline, with perfect actors for every role, and with not too many songs. Mad Square on the other hand, was good but lacked the storyline, and comedy too. Not saying that the comedy was bad, but not as good as Mad. While, the addition of songs just stretched time. Also, in Mad, the heroines, like Sri Gouri Priya (Sruthi), Ananthika Sanilkumar (Jenny Sharma), or even Gopikaa Udyan (Radha), played huge parts in the film, while the ''seniors'' in Mad played a big rolls in the first half of Mad. I also feel that Raghu Babu (Principal Purushottam) played a funny character in Mad, while in Mad Square it was like a guest appearance. Also, Mad Square featured more of Sangeeth Sobhan (D. D) than Ram Nithin (Manoj), or Narne Nithiin (Ashok). For Mad Cube, if it gets released I would prefer, the original cast of Mad, including the girls. But, Mad Square is a good watch, but not a must watch, which Mad was. So, if you have not watched Mad, the I highly recommend it. As, it is my most favorite movie of all time. If, you liked Mad, then Mad Square is not bad choice, but again not as good.
