Yellow Boots, co-written by him and wife Kalki Koechlin, also essaying the ‘Girl‘ in the title, is a compilation of abstract frames, which often stir from their surreal state to expose the ugly, upsetting corners of society.

That Girl in Yellow Boots attempts to put the audience through an emotional wringer too.

Dark.Disturbing.Distressing.Kudos to Anurag Kashyap for handling such a volatile subject with deadpan honesty.What Anurag Kashyap tried to experiment with in NO SMOKING, he has succeeded with THAT GIRL IN YELLOW BOOTS.

As a director and producer, Anurag Kashyap has carved a niche for himself as someone whose projects are always something to look forward to. Black Friday, Dev D, Gulaal are all in a league of their own.

TGIYB, in the end, is a middling effort that has its share of highs, but leaves you unmoved and slightly disappointed.

So much lower on logistics and ambition. It is, what they call, a quickie: As true for the movie's subject, as for its unsatisfying outcome.

On the whole, That Girl In Yellow Boots will win critical acclaim and the love of a section of the audience but will be shunned by the majority of the paying public.

Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap’s brand of cinema is diametrically opposite to the mindless comedy or emotional tearjerkers dished out by Bollywood.

How is the fan score worked out?

It is a Fair Score, not a plain average. Votes from brand new accounts, accounts that have rated only one film, several votes from one network, sudden bursts, and accounts that only ever give 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.
