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!

Expect and watch this movie with comedy but there is not much comedy in this movie and I felt like movie has short story and director was adding unwanted story lines without any logic, and they followed Kiran party movie like 1st half 1st year 2 nd half last year concept i mean this movie is not a own story movie like adding unwanted like to story but some scenes are good to watch in this movie and some scenes are related to reality and it's ok to watch this movie for comedy and some genres and there is an interesting scene at ending of the movie overall watchable film with comedy without storyline.

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.... On the whole an amazing and a memorable movie to watch in the recent days!!

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.
