Madha is one film that won many International Film Festival Awards before releasing in Theatres in the Telugu States. The team had to struggle for months together to get a good release and still, they couldn’t really bring people to theatres due to Covid-19 outbreak. Also, people did not show much interest to watch the movie in theatres as it seemed too high concept and urbane style filmmaking. But the movie has a different voice from regular movies and a great technical brilliance is achieved by the team despite limited resources. We think this thriller deserves your attention at least on the digital platforms for sure. Give it a try.

The movie also has few good thrills till the climax to keep you engaged in the proceeds. It is a fun time movie for elders and please don’t let your children watch it, right now.
