Wrapped with personal issues that include romance, the film is the story of Oorvazi. It is her quest in understanding and deciphering her religion. It speaks about; the dwindling race - who are "The last of the first believers of the single god", their idiosyncrasies in preserving their purity and gives a solution to their problems. Overall, the film is path breaking in its own way and worth a watch.

Oorvazi Irani acquits herself well in the acting and directorial front. There is good emoting too by the supporting cast. Embellished by meaningful dialogue and exquisite (award-worthy) cinematography, ‘The Path of Zarathustra’ makes a persuasive case for modernity and progress in matters of faith and religion.

A must for the Parsis but it doesn’t offer a hand to others to come along. The reformist might not like it!
