Little Thomas arrives in theatres across India on 23rd October 2026. Set in 1990s Goa, it follows a boy who wants a baby brother and decides to make it happen himself. Gulshan Devaiah and Rasika Dugal play his parents, and Anurag Kashyap is among the producers.

What Is Little Thomas About?

Thomas is a seven-year-old only child who is told that to get a baby brother, his parents will have to kiss. The problem is that they’ve been quarrelling. So he sets out to bring them closer, which sets off a chain of innocent chaos. The trailer mixes light humour with gentle family tension, and the retro Goan setting keeps everything warm and close.

Why This Film Stands Out?

It marks Kashyap’s first children’s film since his 2007 animated venture Return of Hanuman. Director Kaushal Oza says it’s inspired by his own childhood. Producer Ranjan Singh calls it a simple, sweet film the whole family can watch together, made to remind them why they make films. Devaiah has called it the “cutest” film he has been part of.

The Music

Two songs are already out, and both lean into the child’s point of view.

Song	Highlights
Do Guna Zindagi	Sung by Raghav Meattle, it captures a Goan family’s small victories and quiet hopes
Adults Wrong Hai	Released on 6th October, composed by Shailendra Barve, with lyrics co-written by Oza and Singh

Oza says Adults Wrong Hai questions the idea that grown-ups have life figured out, because children’s joys and sorrows are unfiltered.

Worth Booking?

If you want something gentle between the big action releases, this looks like a good pick for a family outing. It also opens the same weekend as other Hindi films, so check out our look at Pehla Pyaar Doosri Baar to plan your cinema calendar.
