Official trailer and plot of MAD


MAD follows a group of college students and their eventful journey on campus. It begins with first-year students complaining about ragging, only to realize that the faculty member they approach is actually a super-senior siding with the seniors. The tense moment fades as a song plays, illustrating how juniors and seniors quickly become friends.

The story then shifts to 2016, introducing Laddoo, a timid and homesick student. He decides to stay back and befriends Manoj, a flirt; Damodar, a lively village boy; and Ashok, a reserved orphan with impressive basketball skills. Their college days unfold through friendships, love stories, and amusing situations, including one student’s failed attempt to run away—only to be stopped and comforted by Laddoo.
