Well Made Emotional Drama
Written and directed by debutante Abhishan Jeevinth, Tourist Family confidently wears its sweetness on its sleeve. Tourist Family unfolds as a character study. Set largely within a colony bustling with residents of varied temperaments and traits, the film offers a vivid cross-section of humanity, bound together by one underlying thread: a quiet benevolence nestled within flesh and blood. Emotionally, the film hits the right notes. Whether it's the death of an old lady, a teary father-son moment, or a speech from an ignored resident of the colony, these scenes are heartfelt and relatable, especially for middle-class viewers who've lived through similar realities.
Sasikumar delivers a grounded performance as Dharmadas. His restrained expressions, quiet strength, and believable reactions pull you into his world. Simran was pretty good as the wife, Vasanthi, and the groundedness of that character looked believable on screen. Mithun Jai Shankar performs well as the elder son, while Yogi Babu, M. S. Bhaskar, Ramesh Thilak, and others are apt.
Tourist Family is a well-made emotional drama. The performances, especially Sasikumar's, and the right mix of emotions and fun parts work well for the movie.
