Mad

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.

"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!" 🎬😂👏

Brilliantly directed youthful entertainer...must watch for all the college going students who would love every aspect of the movie...the movie may have new faces but the potency with which they carry the role is tremendously to be appreciated...the laughing saga goes on and on throughout the movie without a single boring element in it...Speaking about the best picks from the movie...the trio "Manoj", " Ashok", "DD" have lived the best in the movie with a thorough engaging and beatsfilled Cecireleo music that keeps all the audience swaying on the seats...Appreciation to the director Kalyan Shankar who has held a thorough story in a good flow and amazing narration skills...the local dialect at an Engineering college, the phases of students in different year, friends that happen in this process, love that sprouts in the youthful minds, innocence coupled with enthusiasm and adventure....all are these mentionable moments of the movie....

Mad is genuinely a good film without unnecessary nudity, item songs, or any kind of cheap elements. It is definitely a family movie, and if you want to spend quality time with your family, then this is a must-watch wholesome thing.

The movie is all about college life, mainly engineering college life, with a little bit of family life shown throughout the story. Interestingly, this film has no single protagonist; it is the story of a group of boys, and the story is told through one of the boys called Laddo.

It is a simple story with a touch of light action, romance, and comedy; there is a very strong friendship equation. The climax is very unexpected and satisfying and by the end, it exudes a strong feel-good vibe.

Of course, no movie is flawless, laughs are subjective after all. I wasn't sitting there laughing loudly, but a great many scenes did bring an honest smile to my face.

So, I was about to give it a 7, but since it's fresh and shines bright as one of the few films in the trend-ruled modern cinema, I give it an 8.

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!
