MAD

2023 · Cinema Express · Oct 2023

MAD is thoroughly silly while also managing to be a self-respecting, sufficiently engaging film. It is a tall task to make a film that consistently brings in the laughs, but MAD succeeds in that, rehauling familiar tropes with verve and sheer kineticism.

Miss. Shetty Mr. Polishetty

Walking out of the theatre, I am convinced that the love story between Siddu and Anvitha should have been the vishesham while the unconventional nature of their meet-cute should have rather been a vishayam. What we do get here are two conventional tales — of a man, Siddu, growing up and of another man, the film's director Mahesh Babu P narrating a series of shocks that barely register, let alone sink in, owing to a narrative that offers little to feel about.
