Plot
The girl in Yellow Boots is a thriller that tracks Ruth (Kalki Koechlin), a British woman who lost her sister to commit suicide a few years ago. He came to India, looking for his father, a man of Indian descent, a man he barely knew but could not forget, because the letter he wrote to him asked him to look for him. Without a work permit, despair prompted him to work at a massage parlor, where he offered a standard massage and a happy "ending". Divided between several schisms, Mumbai became a strange yet strange foreign backdrop for Ruth's quest. He struggles to find his independence and space even as he is sucked deeper into the labyrinth of the city's belly. He also dated a Prashant (Prashant Prakash) drug addict, who was also his savior and torturer. A city that takes its misery, a love that avoids it. In what might also be seen as a commentary on the worship of the gods in India, his father proved to be a follower of one of the worshipers of that religion. The film ends with Ruth hanging off her yellow boots, and quit her job at a massage parlor and may also leave the country to return to England; his search came to a surprising end.

Production
Development
The main actress Kalki Koechlin who also co-wrote the film with Anurag Kashyap mentions, "Many of these characters are based on figures I see growing in India... Growing up as a white woman in India, I am always a strange one - there is a certain alienation that comes with that, and you end up alienating yourself because everyone comes to you like a white girl, "Baywatch Girl," a virtuous moral virtuous girl. "
Anurag Kashyap asked Koechlin to write the first scene, to gain a women's perspective on the treatment of white women in Indian government offices when he personally experiences objectification. He also wanted to explore the theme of child abuse; he previously played the role of child abuse perpetrator at I Am (2010) by Onir, and he himself has been the victim of child abuse for 11 years. At the writing stage Koechlin and Kashyap disagreed at the end initially, because Koechlin wanted an optimistic ending, unlike Kashyap who wanted to illustrate that "... you do not always get a solution to your problem".
The film has difficulty finding funding because it deals with controversial themes such as child abuse and drug addiction and is "very different from previous work". As Kashyap says, "I want to break the formula that many directors and actors find."
Filming

She admitted that she had never "directed" one of the actors during the filming, "I never told the actor what to do, just what not to do, you have to trust your actor, and I know I am inside and out. " Director Anurag Kashyap found the whole movie full of exhausting emotions and difficult, especially since most of the money was borrowed.
Release
After traveling to the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival, the 67th Venice International Film Festival in September 2010 and the Los Angeles International Film Festival (IFFLA), at the premiere in New York on August 24, 2011, at the Asia Society, director Anurag Kashyap said, "I hope you feel the movie, because you will not enjoy it." However, the commercial release of the film took over a year because it was delayed to coincide with the US release to avoid internet piracy.

Meanwhile, the film is also sold in Scandinavian countries, Turkey, Southern Europe, and New Zealand. Satellite rights are sold in many countries. The film became the first worldwide release in Kashyap, due to be released in 40 US theaters on September 2 by IndiePix Films, on the same day as its release in India. Previously, after being shown at the Indian Film Festival in London, UK-based Mara Pictures took the film there for the British release in the final quarter of 2011.
