Lil Zizou


Watching a good movie on a bad day is a great idea!!!! That's exactly what I did. With all the humdrum inside my head, I decided to catch a movie with a friend and ended up watching a cute little flick called Little Zizou. Quite a refreshing movie! Some of the nuances were obviously not understood very clearly as I am not that familiar with the Bawa community. But interesting glimpses in the movie.

The secret underground airplane project by the teenage boys was awesome and enviable. So is the awesome graphic novel by the angry, interesting and calm teenage guy (Imaad Shah) who hates his father and is little cynical and a little “love lost”.

The healer/feeler pronouncing the chants every morning to solve the community’s “problems” and then expressing his disgust at his healer/feeler companion when she suggests that he should continue doing it even when the entire community has turned against him, is fun.

Good performances by everybody. Good use of John Abraham as just a show piece. He doesn’t deserve to act!

Anyways, the two people who take the cake are Lil Zizou himself (His late mother is an angel who gives him a sign of things to come by sending hottie Kamal Sidhu! and soccer star Zidane needs to come to India especially when he can go as far as France) Another good actor: Boman’s wife. Super good. Almost like Arjun Rampal’s wife in Rock On. Impressive. Go watch it, if you have not!
