A thumbs UP from this Hindustani Parsi in the USA. Was born & raised in Bombay & remember playing "Taj, Khaloo, Pigeon, Saavak, Kemado, Bhamado (hope I got that right?) with cousins as a child, and Kakarya Kumaar. I just remember those names, but fail to remamber how the games were played. Something with hands piling on top of one another or something. Brought back good old memories. I enjoyed the film, for the most part. The little boy, the old lady & the old man were my favorites. Good direction & acting, but the script was a little tooooo tedious. To All my Beloved Jaathwallas - Ushta-te!!

[@bLOGiMLY]

Thank You so much. Glad you liked IISTOO

[@sanobermalhotra6895]

What a beautifully sensitive film. Loved it. ❤

[@firozeavari4221]

Excellent short film depicting the human ego and an eye opener for those Parsis reluctant to accept the bond of marriage between two souls of different faiths. Congratulations to the cast, crew, director and makers of this truly exemplary film. I would give it an OSCAR AWARD, if I could.

[@bLOGiMLY]

Thank you so much. Your words are our awards. Gratitude from the entire Team!

Watched for the second time. It was very well acted by all the characters. Mota Papa was the best because as I know him a very quiet person has the maximum role to play. Mami being a chatter box in personal life has played a complete different role which is creditable. Zeus is very smart and a good companion to Mota Papa. The Parsi living style is well shown. Good and matured understanding at the end. Enjoyed all through.

[@bLOGiMLY]

Your words, and your appraisal mean a lot to us. We are so glad you could relate to it. We hope it relates to your friends and family too. Please do share this film with people in your circles.

[@dhunpatel5279]

What a first time experience to face the camera! This film is an eye-opener to see what the lady of the house has to go through to keep the bonds among family members intact.

[@bLOGiMLY]

It was a great experience to Work with you as Mami, who is an indispensable character in our film. Thank you.

[@harry9647]

I am not parsi...but parsi culture always fascinated me..they are so sweet...

[@nozzerpardiwala]

Thank you

[@hbonda]

Loved this movie. My children, sister, mom and niece watched it with me. This review is long over due like the many other things on my to-do lists. The whole movie has a sweet countenance, a gentle rhythm. It made me smile often. Zeus, played by Shahaan who is such a natural actor, was my favorite character. And the loving connection shared with the grandfather, who is tired of holding onto his anger. The busy, bustling, grumbling, wishful character Perizaad, who just wants family to get along. Each character has a strong sense of who they were. There are many ways to finesse this movie further but the story and the actors make it a worthwhile watch. I look forward to seeing more from Nozzer and Team.

[@bLOGiMLY]

Thank you for this review. Glad you liked Zeus. Many more to come.

Such a simple and sweet film. It's got the emotions we all live in our normal lives (not like other commercial films). Great acting by lads who are not professional actors, but are very successful in their respective fields. Great direction too! I love the film! And so proud of you all!

Hey Parinaz team IISTOO is so glad you liked the film. To know where the IISTOO is you would love to read this blog thencp.wixsite.com/nonconformingparsi/single-post/2018/06/05/IISTOO do tell us who is your favourite character In IISTOO

[@dhavalvaidya1441]

Wow! This was such a simple and well-narrated film. Loved Zeus and Mota Pappa's camaraderie. Super-excited to see my teacher (Dhun miss) in such a lovable grandma's character :) Kudos to all the actors!

[@dhunpatel5279]

Dhaval for us also it was a wonderful learning experience. Even for a teacher learning never ends.

[@bLOGiMLY]

Thank you Dhaval for liking the narration style. Glad you could identify this aspect of the film. Team IISTOO says a big Thank you.

[@sweetsharing3437]

Fabulous Job Guys. Simple yet powerful narrative. Congratulations to the whole team who has done a great job.

[@bLOGiMLY]

Thank you so very much. Your Encouragement means a great deal for us. The team sends you love. Do spread the word!

[@baghzaadbhomisha9143]

Reality is so different for most people which this film fails to show. Typical feel good movie with no eyes on realities. I have known at least 10 different parsis who have married out and only 1 has ever told me that he/she was happy rest have just moved on saying what to do now....but I can understand this movie when Parsi Times is involved. I am also most surprised to see people eating with hands in a parsi house. That's a rare sight and does not reflect the standards of the community at present.

[@nozzerpardiwala]

Thank you for watching IISTOO And giving your take on it.

[@bLOGiMLY]

Thank you for watching IISTOO. Great inputs.

[@anahitasadventures5515]

The film is an absolute delight!! Kudos to the team "IISTOO" for such amazing and seamless performances. Way to go! Looking forward to see many more Parsi short films from bLOGiMLY.

[@bLOGiMLY]

Glad you liked it!

[@keyvanshiri4934]

Can anybody recommend a documentary film about Parses? I really like to know more about them as an Iranian and Persian. I Couldn’t find a good movie reflecting their culture and faith properly yet. I would be thanksfull if somebody can recommend me a good one.

[@keyvanshiri4934]

Mohnaz Balsara Thank you so much

[@keyvanshiri4934]

Mohnaz Balsara I’m searching for the movie now There are lots of video with that name But I found one which is about Parses and hopefully that’s the one as it looks like a movie about Zoroaster and Parses history I watched before.

[@keyvanshiri4934]

Mohnaz Balsara This is the one I found There are lots of animation though which definitely aren’t about parses kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnrCpndujs5ni68

[@cawasc1284]

How many characters played in the film are Gujeratis or otherwise. Their accent doesnt match and are actually making an effort to speak like parsees.

IISTOO is a Parsi delicacy. Mix of vegetables like potatoes, sweet potato, green peas, carrots, jaggery, vinegar and more. Mostly when Parsi cuisine is talked about it's the Patra-ni-macchii or the Dhansak. IISTOO remains the lesser known but frequently eaten delicacy. So are our emotions frequently felt but less visited and lesser spoken about. IISTOO is the story of a functional family whose unique members, like the ingredients of the IISTOO, blend into each other in spite of their different tastes.
