Mad

Watched on: May 24, 2025

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.

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.

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!!

MAD is about three best friends Manoj, Ashok and Damodhar aka DD, as narrated by Ganesh aka Laddu who couldn't cut the best friend's quota even though he is the one narrating the 4 years engineering story. MAD sheds light on the hostel life fun, makes mockery out of the principal, boasts about cheating in exams and a whole lot about the guys finding girlfriends while having fun drinking and smoking. How these best friends succeed in their respective love stories even before completing engineering forms rest of the story.

The film on the story part doesn't present anything that is novel and the some of the over the top jokes that don't work are painfully dated. But what stills works is the character of DD and Sangeeth Shobhan's performance is what brings life to the film. Remove him and it would instantly become a dull watch. He makes the ordinary scenes crackle just with his comic timing and ensure the other actors too get their moments to shine in those scenes. The director makes up for the routine script with quirky lines that succeed in making this a decent one time watch.

"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!" 🎬😂👏
