After the passing of her mother and the suicide of her 15-year old sister, Britain-based Ruth Edscer travels to Mumbai, India, to try and locate her father, Arjun Patel. She manages to find employment with a massage parlor where she not only earns a wage but charges Rs.1000/- for a illicit services from her affluent male clients.

Leave your thoughts about That Girl in Yellow Boots.
| Times-PicayuneMike ScottThis sordid soap opera ... goes beyond gritty and into the realm of grimy -- and, at times, downright icky |
| GuardianXan BrooksThe yarn flounders under a crush of declamatory dialogue, sheds its plumage in an overheated final act and no amount of delirious closeups of Koechlin's lovely face (shot by her director husband, Anurag Kashyap) can restore its sheen. |
| ScreenAnarchyJ HurtadoA brave performance from Kalki Koechlin is certainly the highlight, but not the only reason to seek out this film. |
| User ReviewRony PTHAT GIRL IN YELLOW BOOTS is a disturbing film, and that is the biggest compliment this film can have, with a background score that is uplifting and horrifying in equal measure, and a climax that shocks the pants out of everyone. Kalki is the anchor of the entire enterprise, with an expressive face that masks extreme vulnerability under a veneer of "happy endings" & toughness. But what makes the film more interesting is the rest of the cast, especially Prashant Prakash's performance as a helpless drug addict, Gulshan Devaiah's knockout act as Chitiappa, the Kannada gangster, and even Puja Sarup's portrayal of a cellphone-addicted massage parlour-owner. |
| User ReviewJanani SRaw,brave & unabashed. That's what we have loved about Kashyap and hv made him stand apart from other Hindi film makers. "That girl in yellow boots" is closer to Kashyap's initial works like Dev D & Black Friday which brimmed with such qualities.Unlike "Shaitaan" which tried a little too hard to shock the audience this one unfolds effortlessly through a deft camera work that beautifully penetrates dirtiest darkest corners of Mumbai. And the film is ruthless rather than shocking while it traverses those corners. Not for everyone as it's brutal at times in it's honesty but for fans of Kashyap it should be a treat. |
| User Reviewaditya sA certain disturbance echoes through the movie which continues far beyond the movies ending and its one that leaves you lost in thought long after you've seen it.The ending is open and I find it striking similar to Micheal Clayton as it leaves me pondering and somewhere striking a strange but similar chord. |
| User ReviewDrArvind Mme (*copied your line for my first line*) Must say, a movie for the festivals. Low budget, heart(hard) hitting, quirky, no regard for censors and laws, no regard for society. A movie meant to be seen with a purpose to learn and not enjoy, to watch sympthatically, not empthatically. To get fucked. the ending of closing eyes in a taxi shunning away a desperate loving husband (the one thing she needs in his liife) is symbolic of just getting AWAY FROM ALL.. like, I wanna just leave. just get away. |

| User ReviewPrabhat RNot Kashyap's best. But liked it never the less. |
| User ReviewMohit BThe girl in Yellow Boots, is not your typical Indian movie. It reminds me of another movie called "Love During Wartime" It is the Indian version. But the protagonist is female and older. She also has a monster for a father. I don't want to give the plot way. But I can tell you what this movie is like, it shot beautifully and has many honest moments. Also showing India from a female perspective. You see the world from her viewpoint. You see the sexually starved people and clearing of ones throat. It's quirky and features some wonderful cinematography and gives a whole new meaning to "Happy Endings" if also makes us look at ourselves and see what vile beast we are to exploit women for our own sexual pleasures. This movie, will take you away and is showing that India isn't all song and dance. |
