it's a respectable first film, and one....alas it does get boring.....A light-hearted comedy that looks inwards at the Parsi community in Mumbai, Little Zizou -....Even the Khodaji vs Pressvala conflict which is really intended as the heart of the film, because of what it stands for, is cinematically limp....Masand's Review of Gulaal Of the cast, it's Boman Irani as the affable, tango-loving Pressvala who delivers the film's most credible performance..... ...

Nevertheless you still leave the hall with a feel-good sentiment, thanks to the film's cheerful charm.....while sketching peculiar Parsi characters which aren't mere caricatures of the Dinesh Hingoo -....Sooni Taraporevala attempts to highlight the long existing internal dispute amongst the Parsi community between the fundamentalists and liberalists through this film.....is wonderful in both, comic and dramatic scenes.....goes theatrical in dramatic scenes..... ...

Zenobia Shroff, Dilshad Patel and Mahabanoo Mody-Kotwal are all pleasure to watch on screen.....A film that delivers a message without letting the profundity of it outweigh the fun of storytelling.....Sooni ekes out splendid performances from entire cast.....And the result is a magnificent comic satire with an earthly charm and a humane touch..... ...

Little Zizou is a cheerful, original film....However, Kunal Vijayakar and Cyrus Broacha and Kamal Sidhu are a waste of talent in an otherwise beautiful film!.... ... Full Review

They have added a lot of love to this sweet little film.....It depends on your rapport with the director.....His character was always there in the script from the start and it was very sweet of John to do the film.....But for this particular script, I strongly believe I am the best director..... ...
