Telugucinema.com
Telugucinema.com is an entertainment website focused on the Telugu film industry. It was launched in 1997 by Prasad V. Potluri in Pittsburgh, United States and is widely regarded as the first site dedicated to Telugu cinema. The site offers film news, box office reports, trailers, interviews, schedules, photo galleries, and reviews, along with a large archive of interviews and long-form pieces on classic films and industry personalities. It remains one of the most popular platforms covering Telugu cinema.
Jalapathy Gudelli serves as the publisher, editor, and chief critic, with contributors including Sri Atluri and M. Patnaik. In 2006 the site faced warnings about posting reviews after previews, as distributors argued such reviews could affect box office performance. Despite this, the site has continued to host a substantial archive of film reviews.
Telugucinema.com is known for its in-depth articles on notable figures, retrospectives of classic films, and coverage of major industry events. The site has earned recognition from critics and scholars: Sunita Chowdhary described it as a big hit with a loyal visitor base; Anjali Gera Roy cited it as one of the most successful language-specific Indian cinema sites; Swarnavel Eswaran Pillai praised it for providing a space for serious cinema discussion.
