Today, on March 28th, 2025, two of the much-anticipated Telugu films have hit the screens with significant opening day collections. One is Nithin’s Robinhood and sequel to the Mad film ‘Mad Square.’ These films deal with different storylines and genres. Robinhood is an action heist film, and Mad Square is a comic genre. Let’s look at the possible predictions of which one would rule the box office in the middle of the Robinhood Vs Mad Square debate going on.
Robinhood: This film is directed by Venky Kudumula, and the story is about a modern-day Robinhood. The film is a story of a man stealing from corrupted rich to help poor orphans. The story takes a turn with time, but critics stated the predictable storyline and lack of a steady and visionary story.
Mad Square: This sequel is directed by Kalyan Shankar. Mad Square is a continued story of the three friends—Manoj, Ashok, and Damodar. The story portrays the fun and entertainment during their chaotic bachelor trip to Goa. The first half captivated the audience with a proper story and good humor. The second half is again boring with forced comedy. While the film is based on the humor, the story is relatable to new age youth.
Robinhood Vs Mad Square
Robinhood: Nithin’s film is an action-heist comedy with emotional themes.
Mad Square: This sequel is a hilarious comedy focusing on friendship and chaos, which are relatable to new age youth.
Robinhood: Nithin’s film opened with a slow start. The initial estimation is ₹1 crore on its first day. But its occupancy rate at the box office, which is 19.62%, is behind Mad Square.
Mad Square: Mad’s sequel Mad Square had a stronger opening on the first day. Its earnings were approximately ₹3.59 crore on its first day. Its occupancy rate soared to 56.61%. This hints at a better opening and engagement.

With the reviews, rating, and box office collections, Mad Square is expected to rule the box office further. Due to its prequel story and fans of the first installment that took the youth on a roller coaster ride with the film, the roles in the college-time story. Fans might have chosen Mad Square due to the anticipation built by the first installment, Mad. There is a chance for Mad Square’s downfall if it did not reach the expectations of fans.
Since we can’t just predict anything based on Day 1 reviews and collections, there is also a chance for Robinhood to soar higher with time. Due to the bad marketing done by the haters, this film is like a Ravi Teja film, ‘Kick.’ The engagement might have been less. Since the reviews clearly revealed that the story is different and enjoyable, there is a chance for this film to grab the attention.
Conclusion:
While Robinhood vs. Mad Square is an interesting debate going on on the internet currently. There is a chance for both the films, and now it is all in the hands of PR teams of both the films to grab the attention and appreciation.
