Mad vs Mad Square: Music Fails To Create ‘Madness’

The keenly awaited Mad Square is finally playing in cinemas. This crazy sequel to the blockbuster comedy entertainer ‘Mad’ is performing well at the box office despite receiving average reviews from critics and audiences.

What has surprised everyone in Mad Square was the bland and lackluster soundtrack. Unlike its 2023 predecessor ‘Mad’, where the music played a key role in highlighting the youthful vibes, Mad Square couldn’t entice the audience with its soulless audio album. Except for the crowd-pleasing ‘Swathi Reddy’ song, none of the songs composed by Bheems Ceciroleo have struck a chord with the young audience.

Even the background score composed by Thaman has not helped the movie much. This is a rare case in Tollywood where a sequel’s soundtrack has failed to reach the expectations set by the prequel. While the festive season is helping Mad Square mint big bucks over the weekend, the film’s final box office fate will be determined based on its performance on the weekdays.

The lead characters are played by Sangeeth Shobhan, Narne Nithin, Ram Nitin, and Priyanka Jawalkar. The film is directed by Kalyan Shankar and produced by Naga Vamsi.
