Tollywood is telugu film industry.It is the second largest cinema industry after Bollywood in production value and is first in terms of movies made in a year.The cinema of Andhra Pradesh (Telugu: ?????? ???????????) is the Telugu language film industry in India. It holds a record of making the first ever talkie movie in the history of Indian cinema. This film, Bhakta Prahlada, was made in 1931. Telugu cinema is popularly known as Tollywood, as an analog to the english -language industry of hollywood.

The state of Andhra Pradesh has the highest number of cinema halls in India.

Hey guys, I am Telugu and Tollywood is also rather famous in India. Is it allowed to form a topic for them here? As there is no Tolly forum. If it is not allowed, mods feel free to lock this :)
Anyways was just wondering if you all liked any Telugu actors/actresses/films?
I love them as SOME of them still have the old Indian traditional feeling almost all Bolly movies do not have anymore. (No offense to anyone.)
So was wondering if I could discuss that here with you guys, as I'm also new to this forum.
