How do Southwood (Kollywood (Tamil), Tollywood (Telugu), Mollywood (Malayalam), and Sandalwood) compare with Bollywood? How the South has kept, nourished, and promoted our culture through films. What is the obsession with Oscars?

Great Discussion. I would like to add a few points in the background for the Telugu Film industry being strongly rooted in the culture. Nannayya, Tilkanna Errapraggada for Mahabharata in Telugu. Baghavatam by Potana. Sri KrishnaDevarayas aasthana kavis Tenali Ramakrishna, Allasani Peddana, Nandi Timmana etc. One more thing that is important to be mentioned is the intellectual exercises like "Ashtavadhanam, Shatavadhanam, Sahasraavadhanam". These act as strong custodians of Dharma. Tirupati Venkata Kavulu, Kopparap Kavulu have taken the game of Avadhaanam to the next level that even the Prime Minister of the Nation PV Narasimha Rao participated as Prucchaka. So a lot of credit to the poet's like Tirupati Venkata Kavulu and the inspired poets and avadhanis that followed. How can I not say K Viswanath is a pillar of Telugu Film Industry.

Being a little averse to the use of names for film industry in India based on Hollywood, I thought we should use the state trees to identify the local film industry. The cinema industries in India should be named after the state trees instead of names like bollywood or kollywood. Cinema industry of Maharashtra should be Mangowood, of Tamilnadu, Palmwood, of Karnataka, Sandalwood, of Andhra Pradesh Neemwood and so on. Here we are promoting the state tree while maintaining the indigenous nature of the names. Just a thought.

I do not understand why everyone gives lectures to others on language. in the Telugu film industry, one guy is there Gollapudi, he is a writer and a famous actor. in one of the interviews, he talked about language depreciation and he feels sad about that, in the same interview, he said, his granddaughter and grandson are good writers, they are just 10/15 years.. he said they can only write, Read and speak in English, I just stunned at that time. they are studying in India Chennai, how is that ? he is incapable to teach Telugu to his family kids and allowing them to learn only English. but he worried about Telugu, expecting others to learn, where is the value of his voice ..another example if we go to Hyd and Bangalore .. most of them speak Hindi, Karnataka ruled by bjp for many years, did nothing to improve Kannada language standards ...in Andhra gov directly telling everyone should study in English only.. so how can you expect skills, when Governments, Institutions, and intellectuals themselves kill the language, how can the normal ppl learn it .. normal ppl only come to industries, except few heroes and heroines .. they also work with limited skills.. just look at TV Anchors, they cannot speak continuously for 1min in Telugu without script... we cannot blame them, bcz we do not have systems to create those skills, who is teaching them, where is the enforcement policies, if someone is good in Telugu, he cannot run the family .. bcz no jobs for that skill, but if someone is good in just English, he gets job even guy fails 10th .. until unless you create the opportunities for that skill, no one focus on that... . 80% ppl are like Gollapudi .. who just talk but do nothing .....this comment is bit harsh 😀

There is a growing group of young maverick Kannada film makers (who also act in, direct, write, produce them) drawing metaphors from Indian itihasa, puranas, etc. and making some absolutely brilliant films. In the past few months we have seen 777 Charlie (metaphor: Yudhistra and the dog that follows him doggedly to swarga), Garuda Gamana Vrishaba Vahana (metaphor: Siva & Vishnu to show the rise of underworld in Mangalore, gangwars, rivalry in great friends-turn-foes). Right now (a movie released yesterday Sept. 30) the film "Kantara" is setting the Kannada box office on fire - it show cases the micro culture of Dakshina Kannada such as Kambla, Daiva Aradhane, etc. Marathi films are brilliant too (watch the 7 part film series covering Shivaji with the brilliant Chinmay Mandlekar playing the titular role and the beautiful Mrinalini Kulkarni as Jijabai). With well educated actors, directors, producers, singers mostly drawn from theatre - thankfully, they have not "wooded" themselves. Sadly, they struggle to find a space in their own state, thx to the stranglehold of Bullywood on the multiplexes and theatres here. Hopefully the trend of @BoycottBollywood they will find their place in the sun soon! As for Telugu, I am waiting for the comeback of the genre set by K Vishwanath - his films were my introduction to the world of Telugu cinema which I absolutely loved. And yes, how can I forget the amazing S V Ranga Rao, his "vivaah bhojanamlu ... ha ha ha ..." in Maya Bazaar. I can watch this film any no. of times and be ROFL.

Bombay Talkies was the original name given to Hindi cinema. My theory on the Bollywood name: the word "boli" meaning speech/talk. Hindi cinema was full of talk, crazy talk! When the hero fought the villain, he'd first hurl 40 gaali words, only then proceed to hit his nemesis. Often the hero or the villain would render long speeches describing how he'd humiliate his enemy before the physical assault began.

The fascination for Hollywood comes from the fact that Bollywood has not got over the colonial mindset. They need constant validation or approval from the white folks. Secondly Hollywood does set the bar high and when Bollywood folks see that and where they stand in comparison, they just want to get to that level. Unfortunately Hollywood is very professional and is meritocracy oriented which Bollywood severely lacks.

Regarding tamil cinema today, ALL the directors, story writers, lyricists, technicians etc. come from a slum (cooum) background. Their thoughts and vision is limited to the slum environment, and so all the movies coming out of this industry are steeped in this slum culture. No way out if it in any foreseeable future.

Malayalam movies of 80s and 90s are the best movies India ever made. No 'jeep lifting with a hand' BS. It all started when Mohanlal wanna be more like a Tamil star from early 2000s. (Early Mohanlal's hit movies like Arya talked about how brahmins has to suffer.) 1 or 2 Jeep lifting movies succeeded, then it all started to fail ,and a huge crisis happened in Malayalam movies around 2004. Which led to characterless actors like Deleep and Pritviraj sneaking in to the limelight. Industry has to almost reboot and new types of movies has to be produced called new gen movies which are small budget movies with less known actors. Malayalam movie industry was always in the hand of upper caste Hindus and upper class Christians, but the crisis in 2000s wiped out most of the Hindu presence.

POORN BHAHISHKAAR SARVATR - No long comments or discussions. Just dump the Bollywood guys, gals (Big &Small), their movies, their ADS & their ADVERTISED PRODUCTS. These anti-India, anti-Hindu people just DON'T deserve our patronage. Period. The flop heroes seems to be doing people a favour. They may at best stop making movies. That is exactly what we want…..Bollywood down the drain.

Who named Hindi films Bollywood. In 1960s there was a film magazine which was a 'soft gossip' magazine, a la soft porno. I forgot the name. Some "Star ' something. One Devaayani Chubal or Devi Someone. She christained Hindi cinema as Bollywood from Hollywood. Duryodhana s son is Lakshmana. Mayabazaar was straight take in Tamil. Gemini Ganeshan was in Tamil in place of Nageswara Rao and Thangavelu took the place of Relangi. (Lakshmana Kumara). Though the background of the film is Maha Bharatha, the Pandavas were never shown in the flick.

the cinema industry is going through a change as the standards of the viewers are increasing very quickly...the number of non left and religiously oriented people are increasing more and more....due this the woke/libral/ toxic bollywood industry is collapsing...other regional film industries are now getting chance present their talent...i just hope that we shed this "wood" nonsense and build our own indian cinema industry instead of copying"wood" from Hollywood of west....we can and will be 10 times better than them

Another good debate by P Guru...Hope P Guru will call Indians from all caste denominations to debate and not limit it to any one....India is marching ahead re these castes/ community limitations. Is apparent and hope it is not intentional. The non brahmins (Dravida) are doing the same bigotry which happened pre independence...two wrongs do not make it right. Hope P Gurus breaks away from this communal stereo type ...too good a podcast to fade away.

Regarding your comments on Oscar, why the devil do we need western validation, our movies are much better. Recently all Indian journalists were asking stupid questions, is Ponniyan Selvan, the Indian Game of Thrones. They have no knowledge of our history nor have they bothered to research the subject. Comparing the mighty Cholas to a story of a bunch of backward thugs. Ugh, One more thing you are all very intelligent people, why do you keep using the word (independence) the right word is Freedom, we were never dependent on the British, they were dependant on us. A request please start the trend of using Freedom Day. How clever of the Brits, making put we are dependent on them.
