That girl in Yellow Boots

A story of a British girl Ruth and her journey to find her hardly known Indian father in India. Nicely, the film portrays her urge to find her father, the profession she has to choose to earn money, her boyfriend's nuisance and her patience towards it, paternal love she gets from a stranger who turns to assume more than required rights on her, her struggle to find her father and then in the end, her reaction when she meets him. Movie has nice plot, nice direction and awesome roles played by the actors. I'll give 4 stars to it.

Kalki is amazing. It's her only second movie that I've watched and looks like I'm going to watch her other movies too. I couldn’t believe that this patient and smart Ruth is the same possessive and fastidious rich girl in ZNMD. I'll give 5 stars for her acting.

Movie has shown four different important characters. First is, of course, Ruth herself. She has perfect control on her emotions. She never looked helpless even though she succumbed to her boyfriend's nuisance, his forceful and demanding nature and also to his enemies. Second character is her boyfriend who is exactly opposite. Even though Ruth sacrifices a lot to bring him out of his problem, it's he who is helpless and not Ruth. He has no control on his emotions and hence doesn't get hold of her too. The third character was Naseeruddin Shah's. He is the stranger who gives Ruth his fatherly love and is away from the dirty values of the world. In spite of being a good human being, he cannot avoid the Indian mentality of assuming unnecessary rights on people we love. Fourth character is Ruth's father. One feels sick looking at his sickness. Movie has perfectly shown his weirdness from start to end.

Movies like this make you realize it's not just about entertainment and enjoyment! Life is much more than that. And we have to accept the reality and move ahead.
One comment about the profession she chooses to sustain in Mumbai - as she was from western culture, she could get into it and continue the same. This shows the eagerness and her attitude towards accomplishing something.
