Shiv is there to assist her when all hope has been lost. They look for anybody who can assist them in getting Elsa home. Then they meet Cinnamon (Sharib Hashmi) and Sia (Nargis Fakhri).

Shiv Shastri Balboa is an Indian road-trip comedy-drama movie directed and written by Ajayan Venugopalan. The film stars Anupam Kher, Nargis Fakhri, Neena Gupta, Sharib Hashmi, and Jugal Hansraj. Shiv Shastri Balboa was released on the 10th of February, 2023. The film was a low-budget production, with a budget of only 40 Crore.
The film has gained critical acclaim for its cheerful story of an elderly man who rises to the occasion, sticks to his word, and helps a new friend. When movies portray elderly generations wanting to leave their circumstances, it feels like a breath of fresh air. There is more baggage than any youngster has ever had. When they choose independence above conventional life, they bet their entire existence. Shiv Shastri Balboa experiences the same thing.
The movie deals with numerous subjects, including resilience and reinventing oneself, in addition to presenting issues like unemployment, immigration, unregistered labour, economic inequality, racism, and so forth. In the end, the story is about a man who overcomes all of these obstacles because of his love of film.
