The story revolves around the community and their outlook to the survival of the Parsis around the world. The story is narrated by Little Zizou and how he sees the world around him. The story about a little boy idolizing his favourite football star Zidane and his journey through some tumultuous times is with interestingly juxtaposed with his brother’s failed love for Zenobia and obsession with a Boeing 747 Cockpit which he and his friends want to turn into a flight simulator, his father who is a religious militant propagator of the purity of the Parsi community and his neighbour trying to salvage the respect of the community through his newspaper.
A strange movie about the much ridiculed Parsi community left a bit more to be desired.
Though it was funny and poked fun at the various people in the story, it lacked that punch required for being commercially successful. Boman Presswala (Boman Irani) as usual played his part with perfection and the gathering of the entire Parsi community to be part of this movie from Shiamak Davar to Gary Lawyer still doesn’t do the trick. Even appearances by Bollywood heart-throb John Abraham, sizzling and sexy Kamal Sidhu and funny man Cyrus Broacha don’t really help.
