    A Journey of Heart and Home

    Tourist Family (2025) is a touching and refreshingly grounded Tamil film that explores the journey of a Sri Lankan Tamil family trying to rebuild their lives in Chennai. What stood out to me was how real and unforced the emotions felt. The performances by Sasikumar and Simran were subtle yet powerful, making the family dynamics believable and relatable. Yogi Babu, known for his comic timing, delivered laughs without turning the film into a full-blown comedy, which kept the tone balanced. The script doesn't try too hard-it lets the story unfold naturally, which worked really well.

    The film's strength lies in its simplicity and emotional honesty. It doesn't rely on dramatic twists or over-the-top moments; instead, it focuses on human connection, resilience, and cultural identity. The visuals were warm and immersive, and Sean Roldan's music complemented the mood beautifully. While the plot was somewhat predictable in places, the heartfelt execution more than made up for it. I'd definitely recommend this for anyone looking for a sincere, feel-good Tamil film with substance.

    10 on 10 movie Must watch for all !

    A movie worth watching even multiple times Abishan has been my favourite since his YouTube times but didn't expect this masterpiece from him. Hat's off to his dedication. I am astonished by his thinking and the way he directed this movie. How could a young mind think of an epic film like this. Everyone in this world must watch this. What a mixed of emotions. Never failed in the scenes that made us cry. And the comedy? It made us laugh so hard. The comedy was absolutely hilarious from start. Each joke landed perfectly, At one point, our stomachs literally hurt from laughing so much. We were wiping away tears of joy by the end. It felt like a much-needed break from everyday stress. The emotional scenes were deeply moving and beautifully acted. Some moments were so heartbreaking, we couldn't hold back our tears. As the story unfolded, we could feel the characters' pain. It offered a perfect blend of entertainment and message. Expecting more masterpiece from the director. I was so worried that I haven't seen a good movie from Tamil cinema for a long time. This breaked it! Reach heights Abishan !

    Beautiful Debut by Abishan Jeevinth

    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.

    Tourist Family - A Heartwarming Ode to Humanity

    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.

    Best cinematic experience in years

    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.
