Critic Consensus
Critical reception for Don't Trouble The Trouble leans negative to mixed, with most reviewers finding the film a disappointing underuse of its premise. Fahadh Faasil's performance and the central pairing with Ssara Palekar are the most consistently praised elements across reviews. The film's second half draws widespread criticism for slow pacing, predictable writing, and a failure to deliver meaningful humour or emotional depth. A handful of reviewers found the first half and fantasy concept engaging enough for a qualified recommendation, but the majority felt the film squanders its potential.

Updated“Don't Trouble The Trouble has an interesting premise, a likeable central pairing and a typically engaging Fahadh Faasil performance. When its humour and fantasy elements come together, the film delivers some genuinely enjoyable moments.”Read full review ↗
“Despite these shortcomings, the performances keep Don't Trouble The Trouble afloat. Fahadh is particularly good in his Telugu lead debut, while Ssara holds her own even in the emotional scenes. The film may not offer a particularly novel fantasy story, but its humour, performances and engaging first half make it an enjoyable watch.”Read full review ↗
“On the whole, Don't Trouble the Trouble is a fantasy comedy that works only in bits and pieces. However, a dragging second half, predictable writing, and weak emotional stakes pull the film down significantly. Children will likely enjoy the lighthearted magical premise, but adult viewers will find it interesting only in a few select pieces.”Read full review ↗
“So, a well executed film with underwhelming results. Very well executed but old wine in an old bottle!”Read full review ↗
“Don't Trouble The Trouble is a good fantasy premise that is elevated with Fahadh Faasil's performance and the charming presence of Ssara Palekar. But the film's initial promise is hampered by a predictable script and a slower second half.”Read full review ↗
“Don't Trouble The Trouble delivers neither strong humour nor emotional depth needed for this kind of premise. Despite Fahadh Faasil's presence and a few decent sequences, the film is largely boring and illogical, with neither entertainment nor emotional depth to hold attention.”Read full review ↗
“Don't Trouble The Trouble falls short of expectations because of the pale writing and poor narration. The story and narration fall flat and they fail to live up to the expectations.”Read full review ↗
“Don't Trouble the Trouble begins with an interesting fantasy concept but struggles to turn that idea into an engaging film. Slow narration, stretched scenes, weak writing and emotions that fail to connect make the journey tedious. Despite having Fahadh Faasil at the centre and a premise with considerable potential, the film ultimately feels like a troubled journey that never fully finds its rhythm.”Read full review ↗
“Don't Trouble the Trouble is a huge missed opportunity, especially as Fahadh Faasil's straight Telugu debut. This film will be forgotten in no time. There's very little to appreciate in the first half, and the second half is one extended stretch of boredom that drags on until the climax.”Read full review ↗
