Ved (transl.Madness) is a 2022 Indian Marathi-language romantic slice of life film directed by Riteish Deshmukh, in his directorial debut, and produced by Genelia D'Souza, both of whom also star along with Jiya Shankar marking her debut in Marathi films. Ashok Saraf play supporting roles. It is a remake of the 2019 Telugu language romantic slice of life, Majili.

It was theatrically released on 30 December 2022, to positive reviews with praise for its performances (especially Deshmukh's and D'Souza’s), direction, cinematography, soundtrack, and background score. Though, some criticised its slow pace. With a gross collection of 75 crore (US$8.9 million), it became the highest-grossing Marathi film of 2022 and the fourth highest-grossing Marathi film of all time, surpassing Deshmukh's own Lai Bhaari (2014). At 14th MKF Awards, the film received 15 nominations and won a leading seven awards, including Best Actor and Best Director for Riteish Deshmukh.
