A quirky Sri Lankan family seeking a fresh start in India transforms a disconnected neighborhood into a vibrant community with their infectious love and kindness.

Santanu Das

Hindustan Times

In Abhishan Jeevinth's perceptive vision, kindness is no less than a superpower. The film marks the arrival of a major cinematic voice in Jeevinth, one rooted in hope and optimism.

Tourist Family is a bit unrealistic and the movie is too long. However, this good-natured drama (about a Sri Lankan family living as undocumented immigrants in India) has a positive message about kindness and second chances in life.

Hindustan Times

The film, like life, is peppered with humour, serious events, struggles and yes, the triumph of good over evil. The trope may not be new, but how it has been narrated and presented is.

Rated: 3.5/5

The biggest strength and weakness of Tourist Family...is its oscillation between the lighter and heavier moments...The emotional moments do strike a chord but one wishes that the humour, which works to a large extent, was placed a little better.

Tourist Family is a 2025 Indian Tamil-language comedy-drama film written and directed by Abishan Jeevinth, in his directorial debut. One of the best family movies I had watched after so many days of its release, I felt regret that I had missed watching it on the day of its release. after i finished watching the film, i was so happy because i had watched a film with full satisfaction

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Excellent storyline and such a feel good movie. Character selection is awesome and coupled with story plot made the movie wholesome one. Sasikumar along with other co-actors (Yogi babu, M. S. Baskar, Simran, Bagavathi Perumal, Ramesh Tilak etc.) were very impactful with their acting in their respective roles. Very good message conveyed in the movie and sentiments attached to it made it more interesting. This movie is also a laughter riot especially small boy (Kamalesh Jagan) acting was excellent and eye catching. These type of movie should come more often as everything was conveyed in such a interesting and jovial manner which made audience to enjoy, engage and connect with the movie very well. The movie also ended in a nice way leaving us with a good feel. When story and character selection is nice, everything else will fall in place and this movie is a very good example for that.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
