That Girl in Yellow Boots is a 2010 Indian thriller film by director Anurag Kashyap, starring Kalki Koechlin and Naseeruddin Shah.

While trying to make ends meet by working at the seedy massage parlour, Ruth also contacts multiple people to get help in finding her father, like some officials and also a few members of the cult.

As the film proceeds, her druggie boyfriend falls in debt to another drug dealer, who takes her money as payback and asks her to pay the rest through 'Happy Endings'.

She walks around in shock all day, and when she goes back to the massage parlor, her only good client finds out about her secret services and confronts her by asking if she is not ashamed.

As the next day starts, her regular morning client Lynn visits, and she strikes up a conversation, asking him why he insists on getting services from her, and as he mumbles to answer, she throws the hot oil on his back.

"[9] Anurag Kashyap asked Koechlin to write the first scene, to get a female perspective on the treatment of white women at Indian government offices as she personally experienced the objectification.

[12] The film had difficulty finding funding because it dealt with controversial themes like child abuse and drug addiction and "differed so vastly from his previous work".

It was primarily framed in tight spaces, like apartments, massage parlours, and rickshaws leading to a "claustrophobic sense of unease that permeates the entire film".

[9] Many of the cast members had previously worked together in theatre productions; this familiarity allowed the director to shoot the film in a shorter period of time.

[20] MTV India started a "That Girl with Yellow Boots contest" asking for audition tapes from aspiring actors, the winner of which would act in future Anurag Kashyap's films.

Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-times gave it 3.5 out of the 4 stars, and he also noted that ' The film's value is in its portrait of Ruth, and her independence as a solo outsider in a vast, uncaring city.

"[9] Nupur Barua of fullhyd.com rated it 7 out of 10, and said that besides the Kashyap-esque tone of despair and melancholy, That Girl in Yellow Boots is Anurag Kashyap's best until date, adding that you can watch it "only if you can handle the unspeakable".

[24] Parmita Borah, on EF News International, wrote, "Kalki Koechlin carries That Girl in Yellow Boots on her shoulders and does so with great panache and élan.
