Tourist Family box office impact
Tourist Family, which released alongside two big films — Suriya’s Retro and Nani’s Hit: The Third Case — has emerged as a phenomenal success, making several times more than its production budget.
The film opened with a strong Rs 2 crore on Day 1. After a slight dip on Day 2, it picked up pace over the weekend. It earned Rs 3.75 crore on its first Sunday and collected Rs 20 crore in its opening week.
Positive word-of-mouth significantly boosted its performance. On Day 10, it earned Rs 5.25 crore, and Rs 6.15 crore on Day 11, marking a strong second weekend. In just 11 days, the film has collected Rs 40.65 crore.
Sasikumar on the film’s box office success
Actor Sasikumar, who plays the lead role in the film, spoke candidly at the success meet.
"What makes me truly happy is that I’ve had such a resounding victory after several years. You all know how much this film collected on its first day. Let’s talk honestly," he said, urging filmmakers to be transparent about box office numbers.
"Only when you tell the truth will actors not hike their fees unnecessarily. This film collected Rs 2.5 crore on Day 1. I’ve had films in my career whose entire box office collection was that much. Compared to those, this film has already made several crores. Kutti Puli and Sundarapandian were among my biggest hits — and this film has already surpassed them. I say all this because I hope this victory gives newcomers the confidence to never give up. If this film’s success inspires at least five people to keep going, I’ll consider it my biggest reward."
