A perfect movie for respite from a heavy week of stressing work, Little Zizou relieves your senses with its Parsi based plot brimming with top notch humor, screen play and very believable costume designing.Little Zizou is a journey through a child’s narration into the realms of a small Parsi setting in urban Mumbai. The eleven year old Boy, Xerxes (Jahan Bativala) believes in his angelic mother watching over him and help him fulfill his life’s ultimate dream- to meet Zinedine Zidane (from where springs lil Zizou) and older brother Artaxerxes (Imaad Shah) are children of Cyrus II Khodaiji (Sohrab Ardeshir), a near fanatic parsi who dwells on fundamental parsi beliefs and erodes non-parsi ways to secure himself power among the Parsis. Boman papervalla (Boman Irani) on the other hand, a liberal Parsi and owner of a newspaper is forever at loggerheads with Cyrus, deriving humor in seething at his fundamentalist views. The plot is further unveiled with Boman’s wife Mrs. Pressvala (Zenobia Shroff) showering her affection on the motherless lil Zozou which evokes jealousy from her own offspring Liana (Iyanah Bativala) whereas the older daughter pulls the strings of Artaxerxis’s heart who yearns for reciprocation of his love. However her affection is attuned to the likes of someone else and Artexerxis is heartbroken to learn of it.The director, Sooni Taraporevala has done a wonderful job of stringing together the dazzling performances by the cast into a tidy little movie that is both soft in its narrative and fast in pace, keeping the audience pleasantly meandering into the movie with several knots which in the end comfortably gets untwined and sorted. John Abraham makes hearts flutter with his charming looks which is all his cameo role calls for. All in all a good movie to pass a memorable Sunday with family or friends.
