According to the director Sri Vidya Basawa, Madha means "madness personified" in Sanskrit.[5]

Release and reception

The film released on 13 March 2020 and was removed from theatres two days later due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[6]

The News Minute gave the film a rating of one out of five stars and stated that "All in all, Madha, somewhere at its core, had a decent plot. Between a low budget, bad actors, and incoherent screenplay, it loses its essence".[7] Idlebrain noted that "Despite some shortcomings, Madha will stay as a nice attempt with good script/technical work".[8] Film Companion wrote that "But for all that it gets wrong, Madha does more things right".[9] The Times of India gave the film a rating of three out of five stars and stated that "Madha is a well-written thriller, penned by Prashanth Sagar Atlluri and helmed by Vidya, majorly because the duo does not indulge in clichés specific to the genre. This is one gripping thriller that’s worth a watch".[1]

The film was available on Amazon Prime Video in April 2020.[10][11]
