If you missed Tourist Family in theatres, good news—it’s finally coming to streaming. And soon.
The emotional Tamil family drama, starring M. Sasikumar, is all set to make its OTT debut on JioCinema (formerly Jio Hotstar) on June 2. Originally slated for a May 28 release, the makers decided to hold off a bit longer thanks to the film’s amazing theatrical run and continued box office success.
A Quiet Hit That Won Hearts in Theatres
Released on May 1, Tourist Family quietly became a word-of-mouth success story. Despite strong competition from big releases like Suriya’s Retro and Nani’s HIT 3, the film held its own—and then some.
With audiences praising its honest storytelling and M. Sasikumar’s powerful performance, the film earned an estimated ₹84 crore in just 27 days, according to Sacnilk. That’s pretty impressive for a grounded, emotional drama.
What’s the Story About?
At its core, Tourist Family is about resilience, love, and starting over.
The film follows a Sri Lankan family that relocates to Tamil Nadu during a time of political unrest and the pandemic. As they adjust to life in a new land, they face everything from cultural barriers to emotional setbacks—but through it all, they stick together and eventually become Indian citizens.
