That Girl in Yellow Boots is a thriller tracing Ruth's (Kalki Koechlin) search for her father - a man she hardly knew but cannot forget. Desperation drives her to work without a permit, at a massage parlour. Torn between several schisms, Mumbai becomes the alien but yet strangely familiar backdrop for Ruth's quest. She struggles to find her independence and space even as she is sucked deeper into the labyrinthine politics of the city's underbelly.

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

The film is more suspense than thriller, a search for identity, grim and dark

Mumbai Mirror

A predictable yet bold effort but not as brave as it pretends to be

The Hindu

Despite a gimmicky, mostly soulless story, Anurag Kashyap’s new film is a highly accomplished piece of film-making

The bleakness is unrelenting, and one begins to tire of it fairly soon
