Tourist Family on OTT: Telugu version gets solid response, surpasses the expectations

Tourist Family is one of the biggest hits in Tamil cinema and surprised everyone with the way it collected massive revenue at the box office. After a successful theatrical run, the family drama is now streaming on Jio Hotstar and receiving a solid response. However, the reception to the Telugu version is on another level.

Tourist Family Telugu OTT platform details

A source close to the platform revealed that the Telugu version is garnering record views on Jio Hotstar. Ever since positive word of mouth started spreading on social media, the film has been receiving an enthusiastic response from Telugu audiences. 

Moreover, since Simran, known for her roles in Arasu, Kannupada Poguthaiya, and Elumalai, has a strong fan following in the Telugu states, many viewers are streaming Tourist Family in Telugu.

Social media is flooded with positive comments about the Sasi Kumar-starrer. Tourist Family tells the story of a Sri Lankan family who crosses the border and settles in Rameshwaram. The film explores how their lives change and how a terror attack is linked to them, all portrayed beautifully by director Abhishan Jeevinth.

Some time ago, there were reports that a popular Telugu producer was planning to acquire the remake rights, but after witnessing the film's widespread reception across South India, he backed off. With each passing day, Tourist Family continues to attract high viewership online.

Simran gets rave reviews for Tourist Family

Simran plays a pivotal role, and her performance is one of the highlights of the film. The way the family emotions are interwoven with subtle thrills is one of the film’s strongest aspects. 

Made on a modest budget of under ₹8 crore, Tourist Family grossed over ₹90 crore at the box office. Jio Hotstar is reportedly thrilled with the response, and a team member stated that while they expected strong viewership in Tamil, the success of the Telugu version has taken everyone by surprise.
