Tourist family is the story of dharmadas and his family who came from Sri Lanka. After the COVID-19 pandemic, Sri Lanka faced a serious financial crisis. Hoping for a better future, the family decided to move illegally to Tamil Nadu. After facing many struggles, they finally reached Chennai. They were strictly told not to reveal their identity to anyone in the neighborhood. Everything seemed to be going fine until a sudden bomb blast in Rameshwaram put Dharmadas and his family in serious trouble, or not?

Hello friends, if you're a fan of Tamil movies but now you want something new instead of action , thrillers, and violence , I think Tourist Family is for you , because this movie is a mixture of comedy, drama, and suspense, and the best thing about this movie plot is unpredictable.

We live in a society where people notice everything you do. But it becomes even more intense when you’re new to the area and don’t speak the local language. This was exactly the case for Dharmadas and his family. They came from Sri Lanka and couldn’t speak Tamil very well, which made them stand out even more. 

First half runs in the interesting way where the camera focuses on Dharmadas and his family, who stand on the land of Tamil Nadu and feel the sound of the sea. In my personal opinion, Kamalesh as Mulli Dharmadas steals the show with his solid comedy dialogues, while the second half is a mixture of several emotions like comedy and drama, but real suspense comes in the movie when the bomb blasts in Rameshwaram .

Sasikumar Mahalingam, aka M. Sasikumar, is the backbone of the movie after watching this movie. I can say that other co-stars in this movie are a bus and M. Sasikumar is the bus engine. I personally like M. Sasikumar's natural acting. While the other side, after giving a cameo appearance in The Good bad and the Ugly (2025), once again, Simran appears in this movie as a lead cast where her performance as a mother and wife is next level and completely natural, and you don't feel anything artificial for a second.

Minus Points (-)

Abishan Jeevinth, who is the director of Tourist Family, did an awesome job in this movie, particularly the first half of this movie, while the cast selection is good, but due to a placing issue, particularly the melodramatic pre-interval stretch, this is the minus point of this film. Yogi Babu, who is known for his comedy South as well as in North first half, everything goes right with his character Prakash, but in the second half, we miss his comedy.
