Overall Word of Mouth (Critics) - Positive
1. Times of India -
Rating Score -> 4/5
The movie subtly touches upon alienation, racism, culture shock, and what it means for the third generation to grow up amid increasing intolerance. But all these are presented just as a matter of fact, not once taking away from the central theme of Shiv Shastri and Elsa being on an inadvertent adventure.
2. Hindustan Times -
Rating Score -> n/a
Shiv Shastri Balboa is sweet, innocent and an endearing story about love, life and learnings. While the film has its heart at the right place, watch it for some relatable performances from Kher and Gupta that would make you want to rediscover life.
3. Rediff -
Rating Score -> 3/5
Shiv Shastri Balboa, a film sprung into the theatres without any pre-release buzz, turns out to be a pleasant surprise. Very few would immediately get the Rocky connection, but the film -- produced by Anupam Kher, and written and directed by Ajayan Venugopalan -- is a sweet dramedy that makes a case for letting seniors live with dignity.
