If reports are to be believed, Tourist Family will be available on OTT from May 31, 2025. However, the exact date of its streaming debut is yet to be confirmed by the publishers.
If the sources are to be believed, the release of the family drama will coincide with the conclusion of its four-week theatrical window.
For the unversed, Tourist Family is helmed by a first-time director, Abishan Jeesanth, who is expected to portray a poignant drama associated with displacement and resilience.
The film showcases the journey of a Tamil family from Sri Lanka who relocates to India due to rising socio-political instability and the COVID-19 crisis. The narrative unfolds as everyone attempts to rebuild their lives amid several emotional hurdles and cultural adjustments.

M. Sasikumar plays the role of the family's patriarch, while Simran takes on the role of the family matriarch. Yogi Babu will also be seen in a supporting role and is sure to provide some comic relief to the audience without compromising the film's emotional tone.

It remains to be seen whether the family saga wins the hearts of the OTT audience too!
