Online Trolls React To The Traitors Trailer

After Traitors’ trailer was dropped on Instagram, many users expressed their displeasure with both the concept and the casting. One user wrote, “Indians are fed up with seeing content like this! With the likes of Karan Johar and others! Same thing, old wine new bottle. Have some mercy on us and give us good content.”  Another harsh comment read, “It’s going to be one shitty show.” A user questioned the appeal, “What is the target audience? Gen Zs or Chapris?”  One viewer expressed concern, writing, “Why are we even promoting this? This level of game isn’t normal.”

An Instagram user also added, “If one has even a little bit of sensitivity and sensibility left, shouldn’t watch this for whatever it takes… horrible sight… destroying whatever values are left in Indian society.” Another sarcastically labelled the show as the “Basta**isation of Raja Mantri Chor Sipahi!” Overall, many users found the trailer ‘annoying’ and called the show a disappointment even before its release.
