# Fahadh Faasil’s Don’t Trouble The Trouble opens with Rs 1.65 cr 2026-10-03T02:51:42+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets (4 source reports) Fahadh Faasil's Telugu fantasy film ‘Don't Trouble The Trouble’ earned an India net collection of Rs 1.65 crore on its opening day, 2 October, according to Sacnilk. The film recorded 1,224 shows with an overall occupancy of 25.8 per cent. The Telugu version contributed Rs 1.44 crore, the Malayalam version Rs 17 lakh, and the Tamil version Rs 4 lakh. The film, directed by Shashank Yeleti and presented by S. S. Rajamouli, had received a U/A certificate ahead of release. At a pre-release event in Chennai, Rajamouli praised Faasil's performance, saying he ‘infused so much life’ into his role. Early audience reactions from overseas premieres on 1 October were positive but limited in number, filmibeat.com noted. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The coverage divides between a straight box-office report and pre-release promotion. Times of India leads with opening-day figures, occupancy splits and an ETimes review criticising the second half. Filmibeat's three pieces focus on the U/A certification, Rajamouli's praise and early overseas reactions, with no mention of box-office performance or critical caveats. The uniform source behind all four articles is the same digital publisher, only the Times of India provides post-release financial data and a critical review. The review's observation that the film ‘loses its way in the second half’ and the box-office figure of Rs 1.65 crore are not challenged or supplemented by the other articles. A fuller assessment of the film's reception will depend on second-day collections and broader audience feedback. ## Coverage Coverage: 4 sources, 4 neutral - filmibeat.com (neutral report) Reports early overseas reactions without analysis - filmibeat.com (2) (neutral report) Straight announcement of U/A certificate and release - filmibeat.com (3) (neutral report) Quotes Rajamouli's praise, no critical perspective - timesofindia.indiatimes.com (neutral report) Box office data and review, no slant This brief was synthesised by AI from the 4 sources linked above, so one read covers every framing they carry.
