I am an ardent admirer of Anurag Kashyap .I have watched almost all his films and have immensely loved it. His latest movie “That Girl in Yellow Boots” is a thriller film revolving around Kalki Koechlin. A foreigner from Britain, she moves to India with the single goal of finding her father but instead finds herself trapped in a life marked by anguish and despair.
Living in a decrepit apartment with a naïve Indian boyfriend who dabbles in the drug trade, Ruth scrapes by working in a seedy massage parlour giving "happy endings" to sleazy, middle-aged men. Without even a photo of her father she searches for the man she thinks will love her unconditionally, only to discover that he's been cruelly using her all along.As we follow Ruth on her desperate journey, there are grateful moments of light and humor that offer audiences a brief respite from the seeming hopelessness of her life.
Famed veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah plays Diwakar, a kind but ageing man who visits Ruth for his leg pain and is protective of her. Their interactions are genuinely sweet and he's the only man in her life who resembles a father figure. In his debut role, Gulshan Devaiah plays Chittiappa, a fumbling, wannabe gangster who demands cash from Ruth when he realizes that her boyfriend Prashant, expertly played by Prashant Prakash, can't come up with the drug money he's owed. But it's Puja Sarup who garners the biggest laughs from the audience as Maya, the loquacious receptionist at the massage parlor Ruth works at. Constantly talking incessant nonsense on the phone, customer or no customer, Sarup's demeanor is pitch-perfect and laugh-out-loud funny. “That Girl in Yellow Boots” is scheduled to release sometime in September2011.
Music for “That Girl in Yellow Boots” is scored by Naren Chandavarkar and Benedict Taylor.“That Girl in Yellow Boots” is another example of a film breaking ground in Indian cinema one that doesn't rely on a sexy star and a popular soundtrack, but instead instead seeks to share stories with audiences that are real, difficult and at often times uncomfortable.I am eagerly waiting to watch this movie what about you?
