What A Shock: Tourist Family Beats Retro!

It is an established fact that Tamil superstar Surya had been struggling to deliver blockbusters in the recent times. His latest film Retro was expected to bring back the lost glory of Surya, but that is also not happening.

The latest updates regarding the box office status of multiple Tamil films that have released in the recent past is making for a very interesting observation.

Primarily speaking a small Tamil film, featuring versatile actors, Shashi Kumar and Simran, titled Tourist Family has gone great guns. This film has ended up collecting more collections and revenues than Retro.

Reportedly this small ticket film has collected in the range of ₹60 crore in the Tamil market, which is a pretty significant number for a film that does not feature any superstars.

This film entirely based on the quality of the subject, which was prepared and executed carefully by a debut director named Abhishek, who is under 25 years old. The fact that this film has managed to beat the superstar drive Retro is becoming a talking point.

It is becoming increasingly evident that the audience are turning up to watch films only based on the content and not about the box office potential of superstars, and that is getting established again.
