Another great film from Mirabai Productions is Sooni Taraporewala's LITTLE ZIZOU.
This film peeps into the lives of the conservative Parsee community, dealing with two families.Little Zizou is a fast-paced, exuberant, yet poignant comedy about how two battling Mumbai families finally come to terms. 'Little Zizou' is an eleven year old soccer-mad Parsi boy whose fervent wish is that his idol, French soccer player Zinedine Zidane visit Mumbai. His older brother Ataxerxes, is a talented artist whose wild fantasies come to life in surprising ways and wants to make a Supersonic Plne. Their father Khodaiji is a self-proclaimed protector-of-the-faith.
Ataxarxes burns with unrequited love for the daughter of Khodaiji's arch rival, Pressvala, a free thinking newspaper publisher. And to the extreme displeasure of their other daughter, Xerxes and Zizou adores the maternal Mrs Pressvala. But the real fireworks begin when Pressvala writes a scathing critique of Khodaiji and public reaction is widespread. As the two households fight, life becomes difficult.
