After travelling to 2010 Toronto International Film Festival , 67th Venice International Film Festival in September 2010 and International Film Festival of Los Angeles ( IFFLA ) , at its New York premiere on 24 August 2011 , at the Asia Society , director Anurag Kashyap said , " I hope you feel the film , because you will not enjoy it . " The film 's commercial release , however , took over a year as it was delayed to coincide with its US release to avoid internet piracy . Indian distributors were not keen on the film , as without big Bollywood stars they did not find it viable for an international release ; they mainly cater to an NRI ( Non-resident Indian ) audience . Finally US based-distributor IndiePix Films came on board for paving the way for a US release with 30 prints , all in non-NRI theatres , a rare feat for a Bollywood film . Meanwhile , the film was also sold in Scandinavian countries , Turkey , Southern Europe , and New Zealand . Its satellite rights were sold in many countries . The film thus became Kashyap 's first worldwide release , as it was released in 40 US theatres on 2 September by IndiePix Films , on the same day of its India release . Previously , after its showing at the London Indian Film Festival , Britain-based Mara Pictures picked up the film there for UK release in last quarter of 2011 . Kashyap later told BBC News that he received a negative backlash from financial backers because of the film 's sexual content : " A lot of people involved with the film were embarrassed about the film . A lot of people we thanked in the film who actually lent us money , they said , ' Please take our names from the film , ' because they do n't want somebody to see and say ' You gave the money to make this film ! ' " '' That Girl in Yellow Boots '' is one of the few Indian films released without an interval
