Most of the movies in India are made in three languages - Hindi (Bollywood), Telugu (Tollywood) and Tamil (Kollywood). Majority in the above three languages are the so called 'masala' , commercial movies, with song, dance, fights n stuff. But there are occasionally some meaningful movies, which make it to international film festivals. The languages which win more awards are usually Bengali and Malayalam. Satyajit Ray and Shyam Benegal are some good directors. In Telugu, I would recommend K.Viswanath's musical, award-winning classics - Sagara Sangamam, Shankarabharanam, Swathi Muthyam etc.
