The Cinema of Andhra Pradesh (also known as Telugu cinema) is a part of Indian cinema based in Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh. The Telugu language film industry, being the second largest film industry in India, in terms of market capitalization and infrastructure, holds a memorandum of understanding with Motion Picture Association of America to combat video piracy.[1][2][3]
As per the CBFC report of 2011, the industry stood second in India, in terms of films produced yearly.[4] The industry holds the Guinness World Record for the largest film production facility in the world.[5] The Film and Television Institute of Andhra Pradesh, Ramanaidu Film School and Annapurna International School of Film and Media are some of the largest film schools of India.[6][7]
The Andhra Pradesh Film Chamber of commerce has decided to crack down on dubbed films in the state. The Chamber has passed a few resolutions and the most important among them is the ban on dubbed films during festivals. Another key resolution is the increase in surcharge from 20% to 50% on dubbed films and eradicating piracy. [8][9][10]
Industry
Moola Narayana Swamy and B. N. Reddy founded Vijaya Vauhini Studios in 1948 based in Chennai.[11] Indian film doyen, L. V. Prasad who started his film career with Bhakta Prahlada has founded Prasad Studios in 1956 based in Chennai.[12] However, through the efforts of D. V. S. Raju, the Telugu film industry has completely shifted its base from Chennai to Hyderabad in the early 1990s, during N. T. Rama Rao's political realm.[13]
Veteran actor Akkineni Nageswara Rao was the first person to come to Hyderabad and build a studio, which he named Annapurna Studios. The Telugu film industry is one of the three largest film producers in India. About 245 Telugu films were produced in 2006, the highest in India for that year. Film producing studios in Andhra Pradesh, developed by D. Ramanaidu and Ramoji Rao are involved in prolific film production and employment.[14]
There is a fair amount of dispersion among the Indian film industries. Many successful Telugu films have been remade by the Hindi and Tamil film industries. The industry also remakes a few Hindi, Tamil, and Malayalam movies. [15] The Prasads IMAX theatre in Hyderabad is one of the biggest IMAX 3D screens in the world.[16] The digital cinema network company UFO Moviez marketed by southern digital screenz India, has digitized several movie theater's in the state of Andhra Pradesh.[17]
History
Early development: 1912–1930
The Telugu film industry originated with silent films in 1912, with the production and release of Bhisma Pratighna in 1921 [18] The film was directed by Raghupathi Venkaiah Naidu and his son R. S. Prakash.[19]
The two, along with Yaragudipati Varada Rao, would go on to produce and direct dozens of films throughout the decade, casting theater actors in major roles.[20] They established a long-lasting precedent of focusing exclusively on religious themes; Nandanar, Gajendra Moksham and Matsyavatar three of their most noted productions, centered on religious figures, parables, and morals.[21]
Rise of the talkie: 1931–1947
On September 15, 1931, the first Telugu film with audible dialogue, Bhakta Prahlada, was produced by H.M. Reddy. Hence, every year, Telugu Cinema Day is observed on September 15, commemorating its release.[25][26] Popularly known as talkies, films with sound quickly grew in number and popularity. In 1934, the industry saw its first major commercial success with Lavakusa. Directed by C. Pullaiah and starring Parupalli Subbarao and Sriranjani in lead roles, the film attracted unprecedented numbers of viewers to theaters and thrust the young film industry into mainstream culture.[27]
By 1936, the mass appeal of film allowed directors to move away from religious and mythological themes.[27] That year, under the direction of Krithiventi Nageswara Rao, Prema Vijayam, a film focusing on social issues, was released. Its success prompted the production of dozens of other immensely successful 'social films', notably 1939's Vandemataram and Maala Pilla. Touching on societal problems like the status of Untouchables and the practice of giving dowry, Telugu films increasingly focused on contemporary living: 29 of the 96 films released between 1937 and 1947 had social themes.[28]
The outbreak of World War II and the subsequent resource scarcity caused the British Raj to impose a limit on the use of filmstrip in 1943 to 11,000 feet,[29] a sharp reduction from the 20,000 feet that had been common till then.[30] As a result, the number of films produced during the war was substantially lower than in previous years. Nonetheless, before the ban, an important shift occurred in the industry: independent studios formed, actors and actresses were signed to contracts limiting who they could work for, and films moved from social themes to folklore legends.[31]
Commercial stance and distribution
There is a market driven tradition of narrating mythology, history, fairy tales, song and dance, action sequences, large than life characterization of actor in a lead role. [32] The industry is a commercially consistent film industry,[33][34] and had its influence over commercial cinema in India. [35]
As one of the revenue generating film industries of India, Telugu film production accounts for one percent of the gross domestic product of Andhra Pradesh.[36][34] [37] Pokiri has been remade in Hindi, Tamil and Kannada in a span of 2 years owing to the film's commercial success, the film was screened at the IIFA film festival held in Dubai in 2006.[38]
Dookudu had one of the largest worldwide opening for a Telugu film, releasing globally in 1,600 screens,[39] including 71 screens in Hyderabad, India.[40] The film became the first Telugu project to release in Botswana and was opened in a single screen with one show by the Telugu Association of Botswana.[41] Dookudu was released over 79 theaters in the United States, Los Angeles Times quoted 'Dookudu' as "the biggest hit you've never heard of."[42]
Further, it was released in Netherlands, Germany, South Africa, Dubai and Finland, the first for a Telugu film, and in regular overseas markets like Singapore, Malaysia and UK[43] The producers of the film approached the high court for a John Doe order to prevent piracy of the film.[44] The film set a box office record for the Telugu film industry by collecting a gross of more than ₹1 billion.[45][46][47]
Critical reception
The industry is one of the largest producers of folklore, historical, fantasy and mythological films.[48][49][50] Kadri Venkata Reddy and B. Vittalacharya were pioneers of this genre.[51][52][53] Donga Ramudu directed by K. V. Reddy was archived in the curriculum of the Film and Television Institute of India,[54] Mayabazar and Patala Bhairavi which got critical acclaim at the first International Film Festival of India in 1952,[55] remained as enduring classics of Indian cinema.[56] Nartanasala has won the best art direction award at the Afro Asian film festival in Jakarta.[57]
Seeta Kalyanam got critical acclaim at the BFI London Film Festival and Chicago International Film Festival [58] Swati Mutyam was the only Telugu film to be sent by India as its official entry for the Best Foreign Language Film for the Academy Awards in 1986.[33][59][60] Swati Mutyam and Sagara Sangamam got critical acclaim at Asia Pacific Film Festival.[61][62] Oka Oori Katha has won special awards at Karlovy Vary International Film Festival and Carthage Film Festival.[63][64]
Sankarabharanam won the Prize of the Public at the Besancon Film Festival of France in the year 1981.[65] Thilaadanam has won the New Currents Award at the 7th Busan International Film Festival of South Korea.[66] B. Narsing Rao's Daasi and Matti Manushulu have won Diploma of Merit award at the Moscow International Film Festival in 1989 and 1991 respectively. Maa Ooru directed by him won the Media Wave Award at the Hungary International festival of visual arts.[67]
Cast and crew
Chittor V. Nagaiah was one of the most influential actors of South Indian cinema.[23] S. V. Ranga Rao is one of the first Indian actors at that time to receive an award at the Indonesian Film Festival, held in Jakarta for the film Narthanasala in 1963.[68] Chiranjeevi established himself to be one of the most commercially successful Telugu actors during the 1990s.[69]
K. N. T. Sastry, has garnered international recognition for his pioneering work in Telugu Parallel Cinema[70] Akkineni Kutumba Rao's Patha Nagaramlo Pasivadu has received Cairo International Film Festival's, Merit Certificate for best feature.[71][72] Dasari Narayana Rao has directed Meghasandesam, which got critical acclaim at Cannes and Moscow Film Festival[73]

Infobox Canada electoral district
Hi Arctic.gnome - can you please check your recent edits to Template:Infobox Canada electoral district ? I think there's an error in there somewhere, which is generating stray text ("{{#if:|") at the top of articles that use that infobox. I gave it a quick scan, but I'm not familiar with the code and couldn't pick out what's gone wrong. Thanks! PKT(alk) 21:08, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
- I think I fixed it. If there is a page that still has the problem after making a WP:null edit, let me know. —Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 21:21, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
- Agreed - it appears to be fixed. Cheers, PKT(alk) 21:33, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
BC election results templates
Yo, I see you created the template series such as "British Columbia provincial election, 1920" /Greenwood etc.....not sure if there's one for Yale, I added a copy paste of the riding-page election results to John Duncan MacLean; if that could be done with your template code please change it for me; wiki'ing on borrowed time, writing for a living now...Skookum1 (talk) 08:13, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
- The 1920 election is done right on his page. The huge advantage of putting the data on a template page rather than on the articles themselves is that it keeps the tables on the riding page and all of the candidates pages consistent. —Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 08:43, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
Hyphenated party names
Wouldn't a two ideology political party name (for example Farmer-Labour Party, Liberal-Progressive Party) be a compound with a hyphen (for example blue-green algae, Japanese-American traders), not one with a dash (for example iron–cobalt interactions, French–British rivalry)? 117Avenue (talk) 05:03, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
- In your two hyphen examples, I'm reading the first noun as an adjective modifying the second noun (blue-green is a type of green, Japanese-Americans are a type of Americans). I'm not sure how to tell for which party names that's the case. Parties like Liberal-Conservative and maybe Marxist-Leninist might be analogous to Japanese-American, but parties like Liberal-Labour-Progressive and Farmer-United Labour both seem to be begging for an "and" in their names, which makes me lean towards a dash for them. —Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 06:34, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
- It's the legal registry of party names that would determine that, not MOSHYPHEN's ideas about using dashes whenever possible......also the records as shown by Elections Canada or provincial bodies such as Elections BC....."Farmer and Labour" was not the name of that party nor was Farmer[dash]Labour Party.Skookum1 (talk) 09:33, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
- Most of the compound names are self-designations and are at least 80 years old, so it's not easy to find official spellings for them, if any official spelling even exists. Most of the elections websites only go back to the begining of the Internet, so they aren't very useful. Even when they do go back further, they still aren't always useful because some public websites are kind of sloppy when it comes to spelling and punctuation (look at the number of publications where Elections Canada uses two hyphens rather than an m-dash in riding names). That said, I find this BC document to be pretty reliable. On page 357 it lists the parties, and it uses hyphens or spaces for most compound names involving liberal/conservative/labour/farmer/soldier. Interestingly, it does use a dash for "New Democratic Party – Co-operative Commonwealth Federation" (a designation used by some NDPers in the first election after the name change) which suggests to me that most names are compounds that use hyphens, but the occasional name really does have an implied "and", and thus requires a dash. I guess we should use hyphens by default and only switch to dashes when evidence points that way. —Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 19:40, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
- I read these names as two ideologies, centre-left or centre-right, not the compound of two party names, Yukon–Saskatchewan for a wild example. I concur with your reply to Skookum1, there were no official party names then. 117Avenue (talk) 04:34, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
- So what? There were no official style guides from WP:MOS either; imposing modern conventions on times and organizations is "not on"......and I checked re the regional districts with the Counsel General of BC, whatever their name is, as to what's in the legislation and other official records, and they have their own MOS to follow and, thankfully, that was enough to make the MOSheads back down and stop claiming that because they didn't have dashes then they should have. In this case, government websites DO have style sheets and conventions; it's not for Wikipedia to go making new ones out of the blue. Period.Skookum1 (talk) 05:41, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
- Re-read your piece AGnome.....yes, it boils down to WP:MOSFOLLOW and the sources are what should be used.......this particular group of parties kinda needs its own article, they were the post-Great War uprising, so to speak, against the labour imports and prohibition on booze and more they discovered had been done while they were away fighting the war......Grand Army of the United Veterans I think was the umbrella organization for them.Skookum1 (talk) 05:44, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
- I don't think any of us are arguing to change the names of regional districts, so I'm not sure what your point is there. Regarding government websites, it not as clear as you seem to think, and ending a statement with the word "period" doesn't make you immune to disagreement, although many people on this site seem to think it does. Yes, government websites have conventions, but they are not 100% at enforcing those conventions, so unless we have a copy of the conventions, we have to make a judgement call when different government webpages disagree. Regarding your request that I re-read my comment, could you please be a bit more specific? I still agree with what I wrote after re-reading it. —Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 06:09, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

[undent] The re-read was to note that you had seemed to say hyphens were normal/usable in these contexts; I would hotly contest that Soldier-Labour and Farmer-Labour and their kin do NOT imply "And", however....about regional districts, that had to do with a WPMOS war over them, I think it was a CfD and I wound up having to prove that the hyphens were, in fact, parts of the legal name and also required by the Counsel General in their manual to legislation etc......different sort of body than EC or Election BC, true, but the point is that gobvernment websites constitute a kind of document, and a choice of formal/official style......if we dug deeper in this I'm sure we could even find some old ballots in the NAt'l Archives to prove it.Skookum1 (talk) 13:16, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
- I take that back; you said " the occasional name really does have an implied "and", and thus requires a dash" and went on about finding evidence to change them from hyphens to dashes when the time comes; finding evidence to prove something, that's original research, bro....if a historical party didn't use hyphens in their names and publications, and Elections Canada, it's not for Wikipedia to say that they didn't know any better, or should have used a hyphen....Skookum1 (talk) 13:23, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
- Yes, I did say that hyphens were appropriate for most compound party names, that wasn't a mistake. If you don't think that those names imply "and", then you presumably also support the hyphen, so I don't understand what the problem is. I think that CCF-NDP may be an exception, and there may be other exceptions, but we should default to hyphens. Regarding the word "evidence", by that I meant reliable sources, not OR. My only point was that government websites intended for the general public are not always conclusive because some are sloppily written and don't match their own style guides (like with federal ridings spelt with double hyphens); when we can find an official style guide or a more formal statement of results, that source trumps other government web pages. I think we have fairly conclusive sources for BC and federal conventions, but it would be useful to find better sources for the styles of other jurisdictions. —Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 16:15, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
