What are the contributions of Telugu cinema to the Indian film industry?

 Telugu cinema has contributed a lot to Indian film industry. It has also given outsiders who are not Teluguites a career in the film industry . Let's look at some of its contribution :

• First Mythological movie

The 1957 movie was the first Mythological movie in Indian cinema and it was a trend setter movie in Indian cinema. It can be termed as a movie which is way ahead of its time.

• Career for other language people

Actors like Siddharth has got more hits in Telugu cinema than in Tamil cinema. In one of his interviews he tells that wherever he goes he introduces himself as a Telugu actor.

Prakash Raj is known more for his work in Telugu film industry than for his work in Kannada film industry.

Most of the heroines in Telugu film industry in the 21st century are outsiders. Most of the high budget movies in Telugu which are released in multiple languages will feature other language people too.

So overall Telugu film industry has always welcomed outsiders and treated them just like a native.

• Remakes

The 2002 film Jayam was remade into Tamil and the actor was since then called Jayam Ravi.

Tamil actor Vijay has a lot of remake movies from Telugu:

Ghilli remade from okkadu

Aathi from Athanokkade

Pokkiri from pokkiri

Vaseegara from Nuvvu Naaku Nacchavu

Badri from Thammudu

Hindi film industry in the past 20 years has been making a lot of remakes which are originally made in Telugu:

Salman Khan's

Wanted is a remake of Telugu film Pokiri.

Ready is a remake of Telugu film of the same name. This movie has been remade into other languages too.

Shahid Kapoor's

Kabir Singh is a remake of Telugu film Arjun Reddy. He is also set to make a remake of another Telugu film called jersey.

Akshay Kumar's

Rowdy Rathore is a remake of Telugu film Vikramaarkudu.

Ajay Devgan's

Son of Sardaar is a remake of Telugu film Maryaada Ramana.This movie was remade into 5 languages.

There are many more such movies and this list is huge.

• Singers

Both SPB and Janaki were singers in other South Indian languages and have sung a lot of songs in those languages too.

and last but not the least is Baahubali which was amongst the highest grossed Indian movies and it disproved the common belief of people that regional languages cannot make it into the highest grossed Indian movies.

So this is an overall glimpse of Telugu cinema though there is a lot more to talk.

What are some best Telugu remakes of Tamil films?

 Really you people believe or not, I am surprised and shocked when I came to know the fact that some of the evergreen films in Telugu Cinema were remakes. Already I have immense respect to Tamil Cinema and now it becomes fourfolded.

The films which I have jotted down here are bread and butter in entertainment section in my childhood days where we used to wait for the whole weekend for the new movie and when the show starts we used to stick to the televisions.

The fun fact in the Telugu remakes was they copied scene to scene and tune to tune as it is in some movies except dialogues were different as it pertains to language but the dialogue holds the same meaning.

Anyways it is also an appreciable thing that some of the remakes recreate the magic than the former and earned a huge reputation among the audience.

Here am furnishing the list of remakes only from Tamil but the same case happened with Kannada and Malayalam too.

The surprising fact is that even Bollywood remade countless films from the South.
