That Girl in Yellow Boots

That Girl in Yellow Boots is very different from what Bollywood audience is used to seeing.

In the end, she does locate her father but he is not who she expected to be. Another directorial gem by Anurag Kashyap, this dark Bollywood movie lies outside the border of mainstream cinema and brings to life impossible, dark challenges which one only hopes do not befall them. Naseeruddin Shah, Gulshan Devaiah, and Prashant Prakash played important roles in That Girl in Yellow Boots.
