Story: MAD Square picks up the comedic baton from its predecessor, plunging audiences back into the chaotic camaraderie of Manoj (Ram Nithin), Ashok (Narne Nithin), and Damodhar "DD" (Sangeeth Shobhan). The narrative centres around their friend Laddu (Vishnu Oi), whose wedding turns into a whirlwind of mishaps, thanks to the trio's well-intentioned yet disastrous interventions. As events spiral out of control, the group finds themselves entangled in a series of unforeseen adventures that test their friendship and resilience.
Review: At its core, MAD Square, directed by Kalyan Shankar, celebrates friendship and camaraderie through a whirlwind of comic misadventures. The film revels in its absurdity, banking on slapstick humour and quirky sequences to keep the momentum going. Laddu’s wedding track serves as the backbone of the narrative, ensuring constant engagement. The screenplay and overall storytelling remain peppy and vibrant, even if logic takes a backseat.
Vishnu Oi shines as Laddu, effortlessly playing the confused and troubled groom-to-be caught in an uncontrollable series of events. His expressions and comic timing land well, making his character endearing. Sangeeth Shobhan, Narne Nithin, and Ram Nithin maintain their easy-going chemistry, bringing a natural charm to the madness. Muralidhar Goud, as Laddu’s father, delivers a hilarious performance, adding to the film’s comedic impact. However, Sunil’s role as Mad Max Bhai feels underwhelming, with limited scope in the storyline. Anish as the Police Commissioner, Satyam Rajesh as the Inspector, and Subhalekha Sudhakar, playing under his original name, contribute well to the film.
Director Kalyan Shankar infuses the film with an upbeat tone, especially in the first half, where the absurd humour truly shines. The screenplay moves briskly, making the initial portions highly entertaining. However, the second half loses some of its grip, feeling chaotic and slightly stretched. Some scenes and sequences appear forced, disrupting the natural flow of the narrative.
Bheems Ceciroleo’s music is a mixed bag. The Swathi Reddy song stands out, while other tracks fail to leave a lasting impression. The background score by S Thaman complements the film’s energetic nature. Shamdat Sainudeen’s cinematography captures the vibrancy of the setting, while Navin Nooli’s editing keeps things sharp, though a tighter second half could have enhanced the overall experience.
MAD Square is a fun, lighthearted entertainer with vibrant humour and engaging performances. Despite a slightly chaotic second half, the film delivers enough laughs to keep audiences entertained.
