Talk:Telugu film industry

message: I want to bring out the bad part of telugu film industry. Whole industry abandoned talented artistes such as uday kiran and others. It is very difficult to get into this industry unless you are son of hero or producer or director. Just look at allu arjun, ram charan, vishnu, etc. Look how 
others have to struggle in order to get a good footing. I hate this industry as it does not encourage the talent and thus is the reason why we keep buying stories from tamil industry. We steal so much from hollywood and we never give credit to the right owner of the stuff (eg, jai chiranjeeva copied from pay back hollywood movie).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.91.195.89 (talk) 05:25, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Who changed the article name

message: I am familiar with both the usages of the word Tollywood, and yes it is derived from Tollygunj in the Bangla case. I was equally surprised when I saw the usage being applied to Bangla film industry. But then, does it matter? These terms are just snobbery anyway. 
I have never heard of any "wood" derivation for refering to bengali film industry. And if at all such a derivative has to be invented I think "Bangawood" or "Kaliwood" (for Kolkata hollywood or Hollywood with blessings from mother Kali) would be more appropriate.
Doesn't Tollywood refer to the Bengali film industry- deriving from Tollygunge? KRS 12:58, 19 Feb 2004 (UTC)

message: Need to split the article into two. One for Andhra Pradesh, another for West Bengal. I am sure wikipidians with knowledge about Tollywood of West Bengal would do justice to their article too.
One question. If a hindi movie is made in Hyderabad, would it be TollyWood or Bollywood film? e.g. Meenakshi. I think those films should be part of TollyWood. Chirags 15:23, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: AFIK, Tollywood refers to telugu industry - also see talk above. It seems very few people call Bengali cine ma Tollywood. We can have a disambig link to Bengali Cinema at the top. I'll get around to it in a couple of days. --Gurubrahma 17:19, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Split the article into two 

message: Can't Telugu Cinema be "Telugu Cinema"? Is it necessary to ape Hollywood? This word is in the limited domain of few Netizens. Common man in AP does not refer it as Tolly.. In fact, a majority of them do not know the word at all. Bollywood, Tollywood, Collywood, Mollywood,... Sound silly, don't they? __Chaduvari 01:21, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: We can have them as re-directs, I'll make them asap. I'm not sure if the usage of Tollywood is sporadic. I have seen this word used regularly for the last 20-25 years; I first heard it after NTR's Vetagadu became a super hit; also, moving this to "Telugu Cinema" would entail lot of fixing of double re-directs. --Gurubrahma 05:39, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

message: It is good that the section 'Ban  on Kollywood films' has been removed.For the one who's written it does not take note of the fact that only 2 dubbed films from Tamil have run well in 2006.S.GaneshKumar 12:45, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Good thing

message: Hi, Let us make this article more informative and good article. First of all, is there a style template for "World Cinema" articles? Second, we did not have information on history, milestones, award names etc. 
Pov: Instead of claiming it is the best or the second, let us simply have "one of the biggest" until we have citations or dispute is resolved. Quality of the article is more important than fighting for that small fact now.
* Everybody wants to add their own favourite actors, so we should have some common policies about the people we want to mention on the first page. Some ideas I suggest are
** Include all the people who got three national awards, PadmaSree, Padmabhushan and Pabmavibhushan. There are others in the tollywood other than N.T.R and Chiranjeevi.
** We can not include all the personalities who get Nandi Awards and other film awards, as there are many people. So let us choose the personalties who won atleast 3 or 5 nandi awards.
** We can have the award winners of the present year only and have the rest of them in the awards page.
** Can include all the actors who had worked for atleast 10 years in industry.
There are also other people than actors, like singers, producers etc. We could also list major activities like introduction of awards, famous production houeses, move from madras, first scope, first color etc. technologies.
We could break down the tollywood into mookie, early talkies upto 50s, pre eastman upto 70s,  70s to 90s, 90s to present etc. and can have information about great personalities in the periods and breakthrough records and other technologies during that time. If we really want, we can have subarticles that also allows to add your favourite actors because of few hits for each period.

Oppose. A disambiguation page would suffice. Tollywood_(telugu) and Tollywood_(Kolkata) is adequate.
:This is the usual way, if "Tollywood" is the proper name for the article. No reason to move just because of a similarly named article. —Centrx→talk • 22:23, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I know, but Tollywood is only the name of the Bengali film industry in Kolkata. The Bangladeshi film industry (also Bengali) is Dhallywood. --Schzmo 10:39, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Oppose: Its better to to stick with Telugu cinema than Tollywood, since it avoids confusion with Tollwood from Kolkata.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ecor1 (talk • contribs) 06:16, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Discussion

message: "Tollwood" applied to the Bengali film industry is quite old, several decades at least. To avoid confusion, I would suggest renaming the present entry "Tollywood" to "Telugu cinema" and then linkgin "Tollywood" as a new entry to both "Bengali cinema" and "Telugu cinema". That way, those looking for either of the two will find what they are looking for. (84.144.116.104 16:22, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

message: This article is very similar to Telugu cinema. The lead sentence of Tollywood is "Telugu Cinema refers to the Telugu film industry", which is the same lead sentence as in Telugu cinema. The section headings and much of the content are similar if not identical. From the history, Teluga cinema was the later article, and was originally a redirect to Tollywood.
The two articles should be merged into a single article and one of the names should be a redirect to the other. Sbowers3 01:42, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
