Story:
Suri (Fahadh Faasil) is an orphan who works as an ambulance driver to make a living. Determined to earn enough money and settle down in life, he gets into trouble after cheating Aslam Bhai in a sheep-racing competition.
Aslam Bhai’s gang demands ₹25 lakh from Suri. At this point, a wealthy family's young daughter, Divya (Sara Palekar), approaches him with a strange request. She claims that she somehow made her parents disappear and asks Suri to bring them back.
Suri convinces Divya that he is a magician and comes up with a kidnapping plan, taking her dog Snoopy along for the mission. But will Suri's plan actually work? Who are Divya's parents, and what is the truth behind their disappearance? The rest of the story revolves around these questions.
Performances:
Fahadh Faasil and Sara Palekar lead the film and bring their own style to their respective roles. Their performances give life to a few key scenes, particularly when the emotional side of the story comes into play.
Venkatesh Kakumanu is adequate in his role, while Saurabh Sachdeva, Subbaraju, and others have limited scope and mostly remain functional to the narrative.

What Works:
The sequence just before the interval, where Suri discovers the truth about Divya, is one of the better-executed portions of the film.
The chemistry and performances of Fahadh Faasil and Sara Palekar also work in a few scenes, giving the film some much-needed emotional weight.
Kaala Bhairava’s background score makes an effort to elevate certain moments, though its impact remains limited.

What Doesn't Work:
Director Sashank Yeleti chooses a very simple story. Such a premise requires a tightly written screenplay and strong emotional detailing to make every sequence work. Unfortunately, Don’t Trouble The Trouble falls short in this department.
The opening portions meant to establish Suri's character fail to create much interest. Even after Divya enters the story, the narrative doesn't gain the required momentum.
The expectation that the film would pick up after the interval is also largely left unfulfilled. Apart from an occasional effective sequence, the second half doesn't offer enough memorable moments.
The biggest problem comes in the final 20 minutes. In an attempt to create an emotional payoff, the director compromises on logic and takes the story in increasingly convenient directions. Instead of making the audience feel emotionally overwhelmed, the climax often leaves them wondering about the logic behind what is happening.

Don’t Trouble The Trouble Review & Verdict:
Don’t Trouble The Trouble has the potential to be a charming fantasy-emotional ride despite its simple premise. However, the weak writing and lack of consistently engaging sequences prevent it from achieving that potential.
Fahadh Faasil and Sara Palekar's performances, along with a handful of good scenes, provide some relief. But the film stretches its limited story for too long and tests the audience's patience without delivering the intended emotional impact.
