Hyderabad: ‘MAD’, which released in theatres on Friday, is getting positive response from the audience. All screenings are witnessing packed houses, and this crazy campus comedy is riding high on its success wave.
During a post-release press meet, the cast and crew expressed their heartfelt gratitude to the audience for their unwavering support, which has propelled the film to grand success. ‘MAD’ is presented by Sithara Entertainments, in association with Fortune Four Cinemas.
Sangeeth Shobhan, one of the cast members, humbly acknowledged the appreciation, stating, “It’s truly gratifying to hear people talk so positively about our work. We’re sincerely thankful to our audience for their support.”
Director Kalyan Shankar commented, “The movie has resonated with the audience on a deep level. The responses from Prasads, Sreeramulu, and Sudarshan have been nothing short of crazy. Our entire team is youthful, and the atmosphere is pulsating with positivity. The songs in the second half have garnered a fantastic response.”
Sharing his thoughts producer Naga Vamsi said, “Kalyan’s narration of the script had me laughing heartily from the beginning, and that’s when I knew we were onto something special. In the final 10 days leading up to the release, we launched an aggressive promotional campaign, and the results speak for themselves. ‘MAD’ is a film best enjoyed amidst a large, enthusiastic audience. As a result, we steadily increased the number of screenings, and the college-centric storyline has truly struck a chord with viewers.”
“I was confident in our project from the start. The idea of offering refunds, which came to us spontaneously, turned out to be a brilliant move. Even though we had a cast of newcomers, our promotional efforts paid off. The paid premieres saw an impressive turnout, and Sudarshan theatre generously contributed around Rs 1 lakh for this newcomers’ film. With no major releases in the coming week, we are optimistic about maintaining this momentum,” he added further.
Narne Nithin, another cast member, expressed his contentment, stating, “We are genuinely thrilled with the numbers; it’s a moment of great happiness for us.”
Ram Nithin, who made his debut in this exceptional film, admitted, “It still feels like a dream to me. I never imagined my debut would be in such a fantastic project. I’m at a loss for words.”
Gopika enthusiastically chimed in, “We are absolutely ecstatic and pleasantly surprised by the overwhelming response. Thank you so much for this incredible support.”
Sri Gouri Priya Reddy, summing up the sentiments of the team, noted, “The buzz and enthusiasm surrounding the premieres and morning shows were exceptional. We always had immense confidence in our story, and it has truly exceeded our expectations.”
