If you want to learn about serious film making, go elsewhere, but if you want to taste Bollywood kitsch come to Ramoji. | |||

Indian movies but it's fun to see the Indian tourists get excited by a movie set
that they recognize. | |||
More
interesting is the Indian version of America's Wild West. Around here all Indian's
