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.

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!!

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.

Watched it on Netflix without any expectations and thoroughly enjoyed it! Even though there are several movies set in college phase, this one is easily one of the best I watched in recent times. The overall tone of the movie is bright, happy and uplifting. No unnecessary drama or sad scenes. Kudos to the director.
A lot of people use the phrase "out-and-out comedy" to describe their films, but it is rarely true. However, this film justifies that phrase - the entire movie is filled with fun and hilarious sequences, from start to end. I personally enjoyed all the funny sequences involving the college principal.
There are some funny dialogues involving foul language, so it may NOT be the right movie to watch with complete family, but I have to say we all used those words with our college buddies, so it was very relatable and brought back college memories.
All the actors were fantastic, but Sangeeth Shoban stole the show with strong screen presence, his dialogue delivery, and what a voice man! Ram Nithin is a known face from short films and he did a great job too while looking like a chocolate boy. The only negative point from me is that the female leads were under utilized. They are all so beautiful, danced and acted very well - especially Ananthika. It would have been great if there were more scenes with them. No complains other than that.

The way of becoming friends, especially the characters,DD the trio friends the shows the way living in college and hostels, they showed the character well realistic in between friends. The way they fought for his friends i like it very much. Especially the DD was highlight in the movie .The character DD was so interested

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.

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.

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.

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.
