As a result, the character is never reduced to a caricature. The veteran actor does justice to most of the scenes with effortless ease, just the way he had done in Khosla Ka Ghosla!. The ‘meet the parents’ scene, in particular, is quite entertaining. The pre-interval portion too fails to deliver the goods. Shiv Shastri Balboa has an inherently relatable narrative as it revolves around the journey of two underdogs. He decides to shift to the US to be with his family.

When society asks the elderly to just sit at home in old age, the film gives a lesson that retirement cannot put a full stop to your life.

The movie has so far received both favourable and divided reviews. Shiv Shastri Balboa, the latest movie starring Anupam Kher and Neena Gupta, centres on Indian retiree Shiv Shastri (Kher). Binendra Menon and Joshua Ausley are in charge of the filming. The protagonist of the movie is a retired banker who has a passionate love for the Rocky movie series. The movie’s producers are Kishore Varieth, Shalini Sood, and Waqar Peter Gill, and it is directed by Ajayan Venugopalan. Shastri relocates to the US and finds himself on a strange road trip through the heartland of the country.

Comedy scenes (like Shiv Shastri and Elsa landing in a striptease club, teetotaller Shiv Shastri consuming beer, Shiv Shastri and Elsa holding out as parents of an Indian who had come to their rescue, etc.) fail to evoke laughter at most of the times. Also, the interview of Shiv Shastri becomes a minor part of the entire film in the final tally when it was the only focal point at the start. Again, the journey of Shiv Shastri and Elsa to New York is so long-drawn that the audience completely loses interest after a point of time. Although the story in the beginning is about Shiv Shastri and his interview with Rajat Sharma, it takes a backseat when Elsa sneaks out of her employers’ home. Once in the US, Shiv Shastri realises that Rahul and Alka are too busy to take him to Philadelphia. After retirement, he is all set to go to the US to settle down there with son Rahul (Jugal Hansraj), daughter-in-law Alka (Hritu Deepak) and grandsons Arjun (Sid Sharma) and Adivath (Aarav Desai).

movies : Shiv Shastri Balboa, a lovely and straightforward slice-of-life story starring Anupam Kher and Neena Gupta, is watchable despite its flaws.

In the second half, there are two significant turns that, sadly, aren't fully developed. To be closer to his family, he chooses to relocate to the US. What transpires when they attempt to restart things is the focus of the remaining portion of the narrative.
