About Tourist Family
Tourist Family tells the story of a Tamil family from Sri Lanka who move to India in search of a new beginning. They settle in Rameshwaram but soon find themselves under the scrutiny of the local police. The film blends humor, emotion, and social commentary, exploring themes of identity, acceptance, and community.
The film has so far grossed over ₹30 crore at the Indian box office, and critical reception has been overwhelmingly positive. In its review, Hindustan Times praised the film as “a feel-good entertainer” and highlighted its message: “Tourist Family is not just a story about a family, but about how humanity is above everything...
