A story that goes straight to the heart
‘Tourist Family’ is a very simple but heart touching story. The film is the story of a Sri Lankan family, who enters India overnight via sea route – without any valid documents. Their aim is only one – to find a safe life for their children and family.
But the dream of settling in India is not so easy. One incident changes everything – a bomb blast and all suspicion falls on this Sri Lankan family. Now the question is, will the family be able to stay in India? Will they be proved innocent? And most importantly – what was the compulsion for them to leave Sri Lanka and come to India?
A wave of emotions that makes me cry again and again
Some scenes of the film are so beautifully written that you cannot sit without tears in your eyes. The emotional gravity that is in this film is found in very few films. This is not just a story – it is the voice of millions of refugees who are cut off from their roots and search for a new life on a new land.
Comedy + Emotion = the real magic of cinema
Tourist Family doesn’t just make you cry – it also makes you laugh. The film has a lot of characters with their own stories. And each character is so real and lovable that they start feeling like your own. The dialogues and situational comedy are so tight and original that you will burst out laughing many times.
Direction and Writing: Big bang in low budget
While big movies rely on VFX and star power to carry the story, movies like Tourist Family show that wonders can be achieved with just “simple story + powerful writing”.
- The direction of the movie is so natural that not a single scene will seem filmy to you.
- Every emotion seems raw and real.
- And this is the reason why directors like SS Rajamouli have also called this movie their “best cinema experience”.
Box Office and Success
The budget of this film was only 7 crores, but it did a business of more than 86 crores at the box office. That is, a profit of about 1100%! This proves that people like content, not the name.
A family film made for families
This is a film that you can easily watch with your parents, children, or friends. But do keep tissues with you, because this film will leave everyone teary-eyed. The beauty of this film is that it doesn’t run on a “hero” – you start seeing yourself in it.
There are some drawbacks too… but
Yes, the Hindi dubbing may seem a little weak and the Hindi versions of the songs seem a little out of tone, but when the writing and performances are so strong, all these become minor issues. Because the message and emotions of the film are not dependent on any language.
Final Verdict: Look… just look!
Movies like Tourist Family don’t come out again and again. It’s not just cinema, it’s an experience that makes you think, cry, laugh and stays in your heart.
If you want story, emotion, performance and message—all-in-one in a movie, then this movie should be on top of your watchlist.
