Tropes used in That Girl in Yellow Boots include:
- Crowning Moment of Funny: Diwakar(Naseeruddin Shah)'s hilarious rant about problems in Mumbai.
- Complete Monster: Lynn/Benjamin Patel who has absolutely no remorse that he got his 15 year old stepdaughter pregnant and due to which she committed suicide. Instead he blames the poor kid's mother for no reason.
- Darker and Edgier: No songs(Except a couple in the background), all grey characters, no Wet Sari Scene. Deals with themes like Pedophilia, bribery, corruption and sexual frustration. You will never see Bollywood the same way again.
- The Determinator: Ruth who keeps searching for her father despite encountering all kinds of lecherous, corrupt people.
- Downer Ending: Ruth learns her father is a pedophile who marries his mother to get close to her sister and gets her pregnant due to which the poor girl commits suicide. As if that wasn't enough, it turns out he came to her massage parlour to get handjobs from her and liked it a lot .
- Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: Chittiappa evolves(or rather devolves) into this after we learn about his rather sad childhood.
- Jerkass: Prashant as he just wants to have sex with Ruth and Ruth wants a relationship.
- Ms. Fanservice: Kalki Koechlin is indeed a very beautiful woman.
- Innuendo Backfire: Ruth gives a handjob(or a handshake as she calls it) to whoever asks for it while giving the massage to them. She unknowingly gives it to her father too.
- One-Scene Wonder: Makrand Deshpande as the postmaster. Kumud Mishra as Lynn/Ruth's father appears barely for 5 minutes in the film yet does a fine job.
- Red Herring: Rajat Kapoor, a well-respected character actor in Bollywood appears as a guy in an elevator in a building where Ruth goes to look for her father. He does not appear again and has absolutely nothing to do with the story.
