Reception[edit]

Sangeetha Devi Dundoo of The Hindu opined that "Watching MAD is like stepping into an engineering campus and being privy to the fun riot in the classrooms and hostels". She further praised the performances of Shobhan, Muralidhar Goud and Vishnu Oi.[3] Abhilasha Cherukuri of The New Indian Express rated the film 3.5 out of 5 and wrote that "Despite remnants of the campus film genre seen across MAD, one thing sets the latter apart from the rest. There is no sappy mythologising of friendship".[4]
