Don’t Trouble The Trouble opens with a whisper, not a bang. In Chennai theatres, the Rajamouli-produced fantasy film — starring Pawan Kalyan in his Telugu debut, no less, has landed with a thud that’s already echoing across social media. Fans aren’t just disappointed. They’re furious. And they’re taking it out on the people who once praised it. 

The film, marketed as a family-friendly magic adventure for the upcoming holidays, is being called a disaster by early viewers. One critic, Vengi, didn’t even finish the screening before declaring it a 'triple disaster'. And then summarised the entire experience with a single, brutal verdict: ‘Trupple watch.’ That’s not a typo. It’s a curse. 

Pawan Kalyan’s performance? Not enough. His dubbing, according to the reviewer, doesn’t gel with the character. Only a few scenes are salvageable. The rest? A child’s playground script dressed up as cinema. The director, the review suggests, treated storytelling like a joke. And the audience isn’t laughing. 

But here’s where it gets messy. Before the release, both Mahesh Babu and Jr NTR had publicly hailed the film as a worth your time. Now, their names are trending under hashtags like #MaheshBabuWasWrong and #NTRRoast. Fans are roasting them hard, not for casting, but for endorsing something they now call a cinematic crime. 

Meanwhile, other films released this week are getting noticed. Vijay Sethupathi and Sai’s Patta is being cited as the real family pick of the season. Not because it’s better. Just because it works. 

So what happens next? Box office numbers will tell. But the internet’s verdict is already written. This isn’t just a bad movie. It’s a cautionary tale about hype, trust, and the price of misplaced faith.
