Mumbai: Half Pants Full Pants, Prime Video's latest comedy-drama, will be available on the service beginning 16 December. The eight-episode, lighthearted series features joyful childhood memories and promises to be a delightfully nostalgic ride. The series, directed by V. K. Prakash and produced by OML Studios, stars child actors Ashwanth Ashokkumar and Kartik Vijan and renowned actors Ashish Vidyarthi and Sonali Kulkarni.

Adapted from Anand Suspi's eponymous book, Half Pants Full Pants is set in a small town in South India before the age of the internet and mobile phones, where the adventurous and ambitious seven-year-old boy Anand, aka Dabba, lives. He and his friend, the obedient and well-mannered Giddi, embark on adventures that will warm the hearts of audiences and make them long for the good old simple days of mischief and innocence.

Commenting on the launch, director V. K. Prakash said, "Half Pants Full Pants is an experience that takes us back to a simpler time where life was untouched by technology and yet sparkling with wonder. Through the story of Dabba, his family, and friends, the series captures the magic of childhood in a period without phones or the internet—an unhurried pace of life that we often yearn for."

He continued, "The cast and crew unanimously gravitated towards telling this story because of its simplicity and innocence. We cannot wait to share this with the world."

OML Entertainment content creative head of OTT, Akansh Gaur said, "We are extremely excited to associate with Prime Video for this series and bring it to audiences across the world. Half Pants Full Pants is a wholesome show that will resonate with viewers because of its universal theme of exploring childhood nostalgia in the 1980s,"

"The joy of discovery and the fickleness of dreams told through the eyes of a seven-year-old is something that we believe will engage viewers. We are looking forward to everyone being taken back to the warmth of their childhood by watching this show, " he added.
