A typical Anurag Kashyap film. Far from the touch of traditional Indian cinema, starring Kalki Koechlin and Naseeruddin Shah. That Girl In Yellow Boots was first screened at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2010, followed by Venice Film Festival, and finally commercially released a year later in September 2011, both in India and in the US.
It is interesting to know that Anurag is now opening doors for his wife (Kalki Koechlin) to show her talents as a writer. In this film, Kalki has first appeared as a co-writer. You may not believe that the film was shot in just 13 days and mostly on borrowed money. Viewers may easily assume that the film was shot in red light areas because of typical congested apartments and massage parlors that can be seen in the film.
However, what does the title say? There is no doubt that the film is entirely based on Ruth (Kalki Koechlin), a British national, who has come to India in search of her father and to ask him the reason behind fucking her sister when she was just 15 years old. Isn’t that crazy? It’s. Without any work permit she starts giving shake hands to lustful people in a massage parlor for just Rs 1000 ($25).
Besides this, Ruth starts dating a drug addict Prashant Prakash (supposedly the hero of this film), who is perhaps going to be the most hilarious hero of Hindi cinema. He, to get rid of his drug addiction, chains himself by the window and can’t help toileting in his trousers. Further, you may find it difficult to separate the hero from the villain ‘Chutiappa’. They just look like twins. Whatever it may be, the film is full of fun and entertainment. But the end is completely contradictory than the beginning. Ruth finds his father, still full of lust.
It is undoubtedly a great realistic portrait of unimaginable pain – which you can hardly forget. Besides Kashyap’ familiar tone of despite and melancholy, ‘That Girl In Yellow Boots’ is undoubtedly his best portrayal till date. However, you can watch it only if you can handle the foul.
