A delightful comedy about two Parsi families in Mumbai - one headed by a lunatic religious extremist, the other by a liberal newspaper editor. Told from the point of view of 10 year old Xerxes a soulful soccer-mad Parsi boy whose fervent wish is that his idol Zinedine Zidane visit Bombay. Though his mother died in childbirth, Xerxes hopes that she can still see him and affect miracles from her place up there. His older brother Art is a starry-eyed cartoonist whose wild fantasies come to life in surprising ways. Their father Khodaiji, a self-proclaimed protector-of-the-faith, thrives on the attentions (and donations) of hopeful believers. The brothers love to hang out at the home of their father's arch rival, Pressvala, the publisher of a liberal community newspaper. Art burns with unrequited love for Pressvala's oldest daughter, while Xerxes incurs the wrath of the younger daughter, who resents the attention her family showers on the motherless boy. But the real fireworks begin when Pressvala writes a scathing critique of would-be prophet Khodaiji and public reaction is loud and widespread. As the two households intermingle, their differences become hilariously apparent and life becomes complicated for everyone.

| User ReviewAditya MReally something else. People mustn't boast about FIFA 9, 10, 11, 12, or any sequel thereafter. I mean, how they play the game. Apparently, after playing P. E. S. or FIFA in manager mode, little children get addicted to football. It seems, the movie is really great. |
| User ReviewSaad NParsi's. Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em. A complete gaando delight. *sigh* |
| User ReviewAntariksh KReally nice story. I know this sounds cliche, but it totally reminds me of Rohinton Mistry's short stories. :) |
| User ReviewSamarth SAs they say, its heart is in the right place. But the good part is that so is everything else. Youâ??ll never know whatâ??s a set up until the pay off comes and that is one of its many strengths. A pure charmer and a good hearted film. It should have released in winters, itâ??s so warm. But donâ??t give a lame excuse of the season. Itâ??s a must see any day! |
