Tourist Family 

A heartwarming tale about a Sri Lankan family who, finding no way to survive in their homeland, reach Rameswaram, India by illegal boat - Sasikumar, Simran, and their two sons (the elder Mithun and younger Kamalesh Jegan). Ready to help them in India is Simran's brother, Yogi Babu.

When they land on the Indian shore at midnight, police officer Ramesh Thilak's team spots them. While taking them to the police station, he recognizes their good nature and lets them go without questioning, telling them to survive however they can.

The family arrives in Chennai, rents a house, and lives there hiding their Sri Lankan identity, claiming to be from Kerala. Meanwhile, when a bomb explodes in Rameswaram, the police suspect Sasi's involvement in the plot.

Accordingly, they search for the family. Did they find them? Who planted the bomb? Is there any connection between them and Sasikumar? That's the rest of the story...

Characters: A salute to Sasi who chooses stories like Ayodhi & Tourist Family.  More than just being good, he perfectly fits the role of an extremely good person. Bravo!

The film's director himself acts in an important character. His emotional scene will definitely bring tears beyond our control.

Have you ever seen Simran dressed in a saree like this before? Fans will be surprised. Not just in acting, Simran has hit a sixer in her smile too.

As the neighboring couple, Sreeja & Kumaravel compete in their performances. If there was a neighboring lady like Sreeja in an unknown town, everyone would be happy!

While we're teary-eyed at Sreeja's memorial service, when Kamalesh says, "Dad, they could have put your photo there," laughter erupts through tears. You rocked it, brother Kamalesh!

Happy Onam, introducing the fake puppy, "My name is Joseph Kuruvilla..." - Kamalesh guarantees laughter throughout the film.

Without a separate comedy track, Yogi Babu blends with the film and connects us too.

Police Inspector Baks, neighbor MS Bhaskar, school teacher, Baks' wife & daughter - everyone has hit sixers.

Mithun, who acted as the elder son, is excellent. Just when you think "why is this guy always angry," he speaks emotionally and excels in his performance.

Mithun's ex-lover & the "Mambattiyan" song are scene-stealers. Baks' daughter Yogalakshmi and her love stories are cute, with that 18-year-old maturity on another level.

The North Indian police officer and his investigation are also enjoyable.

Technicians: After a long time, Sean Roldan has blended family emotion in the background music, connecting us with our families too. The songs and lyrics are emotional poetry.

Not just Rameswaram, but Chennai's Kesava Colony is beautifully captured, making us appreciate each family. Wow, is there such an area in Chennai? Can we get a house there? Cinematographer Aravind Vishwanath makes us long for it through his visuals.

Editor Bharath Vikraman is perfect in his editing work.

The fake election ID and Aadhaar cards for refugees aren't believable, but don't similar incidents happen in our country too? What was the bomb issue about? What did the police do? These remain unresolved at the end.

Every five minutes, the film shifts between emotion and comedy, drenching us in tears of joy - this debut director has achieved this masterfully.

Even if director Abhishon Jivantha says "this is my first film," we can't believe it. Through emotional scenes and beautiful dialogues, he has conveyed the power of love.

So, let's take a trip with this Tourist Family and discuss many stories...
