Show Business, Shashi Tharoor
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
the friends I have that are keen on India and its culture recommended me this book of Shashi Tharoor long ago. Last year I was involved with a mooovie shooting for a Chennai production in Spain. Reading the novel I have not only enjoyed every line of it but lived again last year experience. He does not exagerate a single bit the characters, events and astonishing facts represented in the book. And he does it with such a humour, sometimes hilarating, criticism but not offensive, like a mother would criticise her sons, that makes you live the adventures of Ashok Banjara and wish they never finish. Highly recommended
a witty look the glamorous world of Indian cinema
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 28 years ago
Tharoor once again dazzles his reades with a look into the seedy life of Indian moviemaking. He deftly captures the sex, intrigue and all out ridiculousness of the world's largest movie industry. As someonw who has visited India many times, I enjoyed the author's portrayal of the actor's and actresses's charmed life. A great read
