Innocence Returns: Little Thomas Trailer Out

Writer-director Kaushal Oza's film, Little Thomas, endeavors to bring a sense of innocence back to the cinematic landscape. The trailer for the movie, featuring Gulshan Devaiah and Rasika Dugal, promises a heartwarming narrative centered on a simple premise. The film is set in the mid-1990s Goa, a period chosen to capture a unique era of childhood innocence.

Oza explained that the 1990s setting was crucial because children today have instant access to information via Google or ChatGPT, which would alter the film's exploration of naive misunderstandings about origins. The narrative also touches upon the transition faced by traditional businesses, like the father's bakery, during the liberalization era.

The casting of Devaiah and Dugal was met with praise for their effortless chemistry, which portrays a long-married couple navigating settled rhythms and unspoken past hurts. Director Oza also discussed the use of VFX for a monkey scene due to filming restrictions and his unexpected role as a lyricist for the song 'Adults Wrong Hai' under the pen name Iago.
