Tourist Family

The film is about compassion, empathy, and the interconnectedness of living beings (the Dog included).

Writer & Director Abishan Jeevinth bases his film completely on the gospel tenet "Love thy neighbor as thyself" and sets about to prove it admirably.

This tenet is a central teaching in Christianity. It emphasizes treating others with the same kindness, compassion, and respect that one would expect for themselves.

This principle is not limited to close friends or family, but extends to all individuals, regardless of their background or circumstances.

It is a clarion call to action, urging believers to demonstrate love through actions and to extend compassion to those in need including those we may not know or even like.

Loving one's neighbor is not just an emotion but should be demonstrated through actions that benefit others.

A man is not a man because he is a man; a man is a man because he is responsible and humane towards other fellow humans and humanity as a whole.

The only problem i have with the film is the issue of illegal immigration as shown.

The family cites hyperinflation in Sri Lanka as their motive for coming to India. They are not refugees!

So it is a problem when nobody reports them to the authorities because they were taking advantage of the loopholes in the Indian system by procuring fake aadhar cards, fake voter cards, mobile phones etc.. and so the entire neighborhood were breaking the Law by supporting them.

Otherwise, yes, the film is well-made, sweet, tender and heart-warming. A rib-tickler with all the core emotions in place which a family movie should have.

Simple and straight to the point.

Dunki (2023, My IMDb rating 2/10) which deals with a similar subject fails on this count.

LOVED LOVED LOVED this movie. Haven't clutched my stomach laughing so hard at a movie for many years. Haven't had tears rolling down my cheeks in a movie in not just one but multiple scenes in many years. Well done Abishan, you made a perfect film that will be in my top 10 and I will rewatch again and again.

All the characters had depth and a story to tell. Sasikumar, Simran, Mithun and Kamalesh were FANTASTIC. Thet had amazing chemistry as a family and comic timing was spot on.

After seeing mind numbing movies in recent years like kanguva and retro, this was such a refreshing change, hope many more movies with good content and scripting starts getting made.

Tourist Family is a simple yet powerfully written and directed film that delivers its message with clarity and emotional depth. The narrative stays focused, avoiding unnecessary flashbacks or diversions, which keeps the story tight and engaging.

The humor lands perfectly, adding charm without overshadowing the emotional core. The film resonates deeply with the audience, maintaining a consistent pace that ensures viewers remain entertained and emotionally invested throughout.

At its heart, Tourist Family is a beautiful reminder that humanity transcends all boundaries-be it religion, region, or language. From start to finish, the film gracefully emphasizes that compassion and kindness are what truly unite us.

The principle of "what goes around, comes around" is subtly yet effectively portrayed, reinforcing the idea that our actions-good or bad-inevitably return to us. Themes of mutual respect and the strength of neighborhood unity are highlighted with warmth and sincerity.

In a world often divided, Tourist Family stands out as a gentle but firm voice reminding us that humanity is the greatest religion of all.

I laughed and cried. Then laughed and cried again. Over and over.

This film is truly a gem. In today's Tamil cinema, it's rare to come across a story so pure-free of violence and fight scenes-yet so deeply moving.

Abishan Jeevinth has an incredibly bright future ahead of him. It's hard to believe someone so young could create something with such emotional depth and maturity.

Maybe I feel this way because I'm a Sri Lankan Tamil, but this movie genuinely touched my soul. At its core, it's a beautiful reminder that love and kindness always triumph. I hope we get to see more stories like this in the future of Tamil cinema.
