Little Thomas’ First Song ‘Do Guna Zindagi’ Captures Childhood Joy Across Goa

Little Thomas introduces its world through ‘Do Guna Zindagi’

The makers of Little Thomas, starring Gulshan Devaiah, Rasika Dugal and Hridansh Parekh, have released the film’s first song, “Do Guna Zindagi.” The track introduces the warmth of the Miranda family while placing seven-year-old Thomas at the centre of a story about childhood dreams, family relationships and the simple happiness of everyday life.

The song arrives ahead of the film’s scheduled October 23, 2026 theatrical release and offers a more detailed glimpse into the world of director Kaushal Oza’s Goa-set family film.

A seven-year-old’s simple wish

“Do Guna Zindagi” revolves around Thomas, played by Hridansh Parekh, a seven-year-old who is eagerly waiting for a baby brother.

His wish becomes intertwined with the hopes of his parents, played by Gulshan Devaiah and Rasika Dugal, as the song explores the family's everyday moments rather than building its appeal around a large dramatic set piece.

That perspective fits the larger premise of Little Thomas. Set in Goa during the early 1990s, the film follows Thomas as he tries to understand why he does not have a sibling like some of the other children around him. The film's central conflict begins with his innocent belief that his parents need to kiss if he is to get a baby brother.

The song turns Goa into part of the story

One of the most distinctive elements of the track is its visual treatment of Goa.

Instead of relying only on beaches and conventional holiday imagery, the song was filmed across Fontainhas, Altinho, Saligao and Margao. The locations feature colourful neighbourhoods, narrow lanes, Portuguese-era homes, stairways and informal football grounds, giving the song a stronger sense of place.

The setting is particularly relevant because Little Thomas is not simply using Goa as a backdrop. The film's story is rooted in a Goan family's everyday life, with the early-1990s period forming an important part of its atmosphere.

Who created ‘Do Guna Zindagi’?

The song is sung by Raghav Meattle, with music composed by Aditya N. and Nayantara Bhatkal and lyrics by Suresh Bhatia. It has been released by Junglee Music, a division of Times Music.

The film is written and directed by Kaushal Oza. Its producers include Anushka Shah, Charu Oza, Rajnikant Oza, Akshay Thakker, Kabir Ahuja, Ranjan Singh and Anurag Kashyap, with the film backed by Luminoso Pictures, Civic Studios, Good Bad Films and Flip Films.

What is Little Thomas about?

At its heart, Little Thomas is a child's attempt to make sense of his family and the adult world around him.

The film follows Thomas, an only child who wants a younger brother. His understanding of how babies arrive leads him to believe that getting his parents to reconnect romantically is the solution. That simple idea becomes the basis for the film's family comedy and coming-of-age perspective.

The film has also already been positioned as a children’s story that can appeal to adults. In a statement around the film's theatrical announcement, Rasika Dugal described it as a project focused on its story without unnecessary embellishment and said it was designed to engage children without talking down to them.

The film also marks filmmaker Anurag Kashyap's return to children's cinema after his 2007 animated film Return of Hanuman.

The Celebrity Hour Take

The first song gives Little Thomas a useful identity beyond its cast.

At a time when film songs are often used primarily to establish scale, glamour or romance, “Do Guna Zindagi” is built around character and atmosphere. Thomas's anticipation of a sibling becomes the emotional centre, while Goa's neighbourhoods provide the film with a specific cultural setting.

The song also suggests that the film's appeal will depend less on spectacle and more on its ability to make ordinary childhood experiences feel cinematic. That makes the setting, period and child's perspective particularly important elements to watch when the film reaches theatres.

With Little Thomas scheduled for October 23, “Do Guna Zindagi” functions as an early introduction to the film's tone: intimate, nostalgic and centred on the small world of one child and his family.
