Little Zizou............funfilled,dynamic,weird but smart.


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.
