Life Styles of Rich and Famous -- of NRA (Non Resident Andhra) by Ramarao Kanneganti — last modified 2006-02-16 13:59

A semi-serious look at the life of NRAs from the 1990s. In those days Madhuri Dixit was considered the Madhubala on Indian movies. Silk Smitha was the dancer with oomph.

Madhuri Dixit is married and is living in Pasadena. Silk Smitha long gone and forgotten. In this background, the following narrative looks as anachronistic as NTR dancing in 1980's movies.

It is a non-review review. One of my friends Srikanth Bandi said it is the best review written in Telugu, using English -- hence I included it here.
