This 2-hour 10-minute film beats Vicky Kaushal starrer Chhaava, earns Rs 90 crore in a budget of Rs 7 crore, movie is…, lead actors are…
That film is Tourist Family, a Tamil-language comedy-drama directed by debutant Abishan Jeevinth. Produced on a modest budget of Rs 7 crore, the movie has grossed over Rs 90 crore worldwide, achieving an impressive 1200% return on investment. This remarkable feat places it ahead of other major releases, including Chhaava, which, despite its Rs 130 crore budget and Rs 808 crore earnings, achieved an 800% profit margin. What is the storyline of Tourist Family?
Tourist Family stars M. Sasikumar and Simran and tells poignant story of Sri Lankan Tamil family migrating to India post-COVID-19 in search of a better life. The narrative delves into their struggles adapting to a new culture, language barriers, and economic hardships. The film's heartfelt storytelling and relatable themes resonated deeply with audiences, leading to its box office success.
The film's success is further underscored by its performance relative to other major releases. While Chhaava and Sitaare Zameen Par had significant box office earnings, their high production costs meant lower profit margins compared to Tourist Family. This highlights the film's exceptional achievement in maximizing profitability through compelling storytelling and efficient budgeting. More about Tourist Family

Bhaskar, Elango Kumaravel, Sreeja Ravi, and Bagavathi Perumal, which was backed by Million Dollar Studios and MRP Entertainment in a joint venture and music and background score were given by renowned composer Sean Roldan. Tourist Family had its premiere on April 29, 2025, and hit theaters on May 1.
The film garnered favorable reviews, especially highlighting Abishan's direction and Roldan's musical score, along with the performances of the ensemble cast members.

Junaid Khan chooses Sitaare Zameen Par over Rs 100 crore film, Aamir Khan jokes he is a 'nepo kid'
Aamir Khan and Junaid Khan team up for a funny promo. It is for 'Sitaare Zameen Par'. Junaid jokes about rejecting a big film offer. He chose to premiere his father's movie on YouTube. Aamir recreates scenes from 'Andaz Apna Apna'. He also makes fun of his past films. The promo includes a cameo by Azad Rao Khan. What happens when a superstar dad meets his cheeky, aspiring actor son in a parody promo? A lot of laughs, a little trolling, and some nostalgic nods. Aamir Khan and Junaid Khan come together in a fun new promo for Sitaare Zameen Par, where Junaid reveals he rejected a ₹100 crore film to premiere his father's movie on YouTube—for just Rs 1100. Aamir will be seen recreating scenes from his 1994 classic Andaz Apna Apna as a tribute. The promo will also feature filmmaker Rajkumar Santoshi watching RS Prasanna's Sitaare Zameen Par online. In one scene, Aamir Khan adds a twist to an iconic Andaz Apna Apna dialogue originally delivered by Deven Verma. The actor also pokes fun at himself, referencing past flops like Thugs of Hindostan and Laal Singh Chaddha. Mock regret and ' nepo kid ' jibe In the promo, Aamir humorously reflects on past choices, saying he once followed his son's advice to do a multi-starrer and ended up doing Thugs of Hindostan, which brought him endless criticism. He adds that remaking Forrest Gump as Laal Singh Chaddha cost him both respect and money. Junaid is set to unveil his quirky plan to bring Sitaare Zameen Par to audiences at home. In the promo, the Loveyapa actor proudly tells his father, 'Aapko sun kar khushi hogi pitaji, maine Rs 100 crore ka offer reject kar diya hai. Aur aapki film Sitaare Zameen Par ko YouTube par daal diya hai sirf Rs 100 mein.' Aamir, taken aback, reacts in mock disbelief and jokingly calls his son a 'nepo kid.' The parody promo will wrap up with a surprise cameo by Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao's son, Azad Rao Khan, making a brief appearance at the end of the video.
