“Little Thomas,” directed by Kaushal Oza and starring Gulshan Devaiah and Rasika Dugal, is reviewed as a film centered on a seven-year-old boy’s curiosity and the complications it brings. Across outlets, the story is described around Thomas asking his parents how babies are made, leading them to give an explanation that creates more questions. As Thomas searches for answers, the film also depicts his parents’ separation stress, drawing on conversations with people including a nanny, friends and a church priest.
Coverage differs on how much emotional depth the film delivers. India Today says it offers “cute moments” but “little depth,” framing its appeal as surface-level charm rather than exploration of feeling. The Free Press Journal highlights “innocence doubled” and praises the restrained performances of Devaiah and Dugal, while also suggesting the director could have explored more of the emotional angle from the child’s perspective. The Hindu emphasizes the film’s “unhurried” quality and presents it as a revival of innocence.
