- “Tollywood”, India’s very own Telugu cinema industry attracts Telugu-speaking people and has a huge fan base among Hindi, Malayalam, Tamil, English, Punjabi, Bengali, and other languages speakers. In short, the dominance of “Tollywood” is not only restricted to the boundaries of Telangana or Andhra Pradesh. It has its audience in pan-India. Recent trends also suggest that even Foreigners nowadays have an inclination toward our South Indian industry owing to the huge success of “RRR”.
- The extent to which “Tollywood” or “South Indian” movies have an impact is clearly visible when even “Bollywood” releases remakes of “South Industry” movies at regular intervals. The recently released movie “Vikram Vedha” is also a remake of the Tamil movie of the same name starring “R. Madhavan” and “Vijay Sethupathi”. You would be surprised to know that movies such as “Son of Sardaar”, “Saajan Chale Sasural”, and “Kabir Singh” are Telugu remakes of “Maryada Ramanna”, “Allari Mogudu”, and “Arjun Reddy” respectively.
- Recent news about box office collection indicates that South Indian movies have steered ahead of Bollywood and Telugu cinema pegged revenue of around 2500 crore out of 15000 crore total revenue of Indian cinema. Currently, there are 40 movies from Tollywood that have crossed 100 crores in revenue that namely include “Bahubali: The Beginning”, “Baahubali: The Conclusion”, “Pushpa”, “RRR”, and “Businessman”.
- Additionally, there are even some Guinness records that have been set by this industry. S. P. Balasubrahmanyam is the record holder for the most number of songs sung by any male playback singer in the world. Dasari Narayana Rao has directed a record 151 films. The Ramoji Film City, Hyderabad is the world’s largest film studio with a span of 1600+ acres.
- All Films industries are not only a source of entertainment but also provide employment opportunities for young talents and allied service sector people hence contributing towards nation-building.
Despite all the achievements South Industry has achieved, there lacks a single dedicated website that can deliver pure Tollywood content free of cost. There are many avenues when it comes to Bollywood, Hollywood movies. There are plenty of websites that post content free of cost but it’s not the same with Tollywood. Nevertheless, this should not be an issue for you anymore. You will be guided further from where Tollywood content will be made available for you.
Where can I find Telugu/Tollywood movies/web series online for free?
There are only a handful of websites where you can find pure Tollywood content for free. iBOMMA is one such site where you can see 100% South Indian content for free.
There will be two options available to you you can either choose to download or watch/stream online without downloading.
Why South Indian/Telugu/Tamil/Malayalam/Kanada movies industry is better than the Bollywood industry?
- The first credit for the penetration of the South Indian movies industry to the core of the Hindi heartland should be given to the dubbing agencies, artists, and television channels such as “Sony Set Max”, “Zee Cinema” “Star Gold” and all others channels that bought the copyright of the movies and telecasted them. These movies also got a positive response from the viewers and created a long-lasting impression. Post-dubbing the movies became easy to comprehend for a wider audience.
- Outstanding movies such as “Don no 1”, “I”, “Aparichit”, “Shivaji: The Boss”, and “Robot” were found appealing to many and even some of their dialogues references we even come across on a daily basis either on Instagram, Facebook, or Youtube memes.
- Voice-over artists such as Sanket Mahatre, Sharad Kelkar, and Shreyas Talpade have dubbed numerous movies from Telugu to Hindi and have been successful in capturing the essence of the character through their work.
- Current events such as “RRR” winning Oscar have increased the viewer base many folds. The musical numbers included in the movie have compelled everyone to vibe along.
- The song “Naatu Naatu” is the only Indian song that has made it into the Oscars at the 95th academy awards.
- The technology used in the industry is at par with Hollywood and Bollywood which was showcased in movies such as “Baahubali”, “RRR” and “Robot 2.0”.
- Bollywood movies become monotonous sometimes as the limelight is more on the actor/actress than the story behind it whereas in other industries the movie is driven around the story and all characters fall in line along the story.
