A scene from the film Bhakta Prahlada (1931). It was general opinion that Telugu film industry also began only in 1931 with the release of 'Bhakta Prahlada'. Some filmmakers began working on making of cinema four decades earlier. When you talk of film industry, it is not just production of a cinema. Distribution and exhibition are also a part of it. In the pre-talkie era Indians were more in exhibition business. In 1905, touring talkies circuits began. There was no film production. They imported films from France, USA and England and released them. In South India, the first touring talkies came into existence in 1914. Raghuapati Venkaiah took lead and constructed permanent talkies. It was named Gaiety Theatre. Because he did that in exhibition field he became grandfather of cinema. The construction of Gaiety was in 1914, we can say the film industry began functioning. For another three years the touring talkies culture continued to flourish. These were later converted into cinema halls. Jose Bioscope touring talkies made big business those days. There were also two more touring talkies. In 1917, PR Nataraj produced a silent film, 'Keechakavadha'. Then he made 'Draupadi Vastrapaharanam'. Raju Modaliar and Jeevaratnam were said to have acted in 'Keechakavadha'. Thus they can be bracketed as the first actor and actress of South Indian cinema.

Telugu people began making silent movies from next year. Venkaiah established a film production company, named 'Star of the East' films. He also constructed a permanent studio. These were Telugu's first film company and first film studio - by Raghupati Venkaiah. His son RS Prakash made first silent film for Star of the East – 'Bhishma Pratigjna' (1922). This was the first film made by a Telugu man. Prakash himself played 'Bhishma'. A British girl De Castello played Ganga. As already mentioned earlier Chittajallu Pullaiah and YV Rao entered the field as director and assistant.

Yaragudipati Varada Rao (1903-1973) was born in Nellore into a prominent and wealthy Telugu Brahmin family. YV Rao was an actor too. Later he became director and directed silent films like Pandava Nirvana (1930), Pandava Agnathavaas (1930) and Hari Maya (1932). C Pullaiah was a technician and was an exhibitor too by the time the talkie era began. And then he took to directing too. Garrant films, National films, Associated films, Surya films were making silent movies. By 1929 some more were added to the list of silent film makers. Some others joined the acting line up.

Of the silent films made in South India most were mythological. There was a single social. Venkata Rao acted in it. The rest were stunt films. The moment it was found that silent films lost luster, the exhibitors brought famous dancers from Bombay and made them dance on the stage. Sometimes a commentator, sitting amidst audience used to comment on what was going on in that silent visual. With the emergence of talkie in 1931, everything changed magically and new era of filmmaking began

Hanumappa Muniappa Reddy made the first Telugu talkie 'Bhakta Prahlada', in 1931. This was made in Kolhapur. HM Reddy also directed 'Kalidas' in Tamil, which was screened first. This was South's first talkie. And the first Telugu talkie was 'Bhakta Prahlada'. By then Surabhi theater was very active. Surabhi is now 120-year-old theatre. Most of the mythological were their output. For that matter Dharmavaram Rama Krishnamacharyulu wrote 'Bhakta Prahlada' for them. And this was converted into 108-minute cinema. Close-up shots were vividly used. There were plenty of close-up shots. One C Kesavadasu was said to have added songs and verses in addition to what were already existing. Krishna Rao, who was a boy then, played Bhakta Prahlada. It was said that this first hero and child artiste had to struggle in old age. The film industry and artistes helped him. Munipalle Venkata Subba Rao played Hiranya Kasipa, Kamalabai was Leelavati. LV Prasad a budding talent then played the comic role of Chandamarkulu. HR Padmanabha Sastry was the music director and Govardhan Bhai Patel was its cinematographer. This first Telugu talkie also took credit for being the very first box office hit. This was the story of 1931.

In 1932 'Paduka Pattabhishekam' and 'Sakuntala' were made in Sagar Movietone Studios of Bombay. Yadavalli Suryanarayana and Surabhi Kamalabai played main roles. They were stalwarts of that era. Ramatilakam and Mangalagiri Sriranjani were introduced through these films. 80 Telugu films were made in the first five years. The subjects were all mythological. They were taken from stage. Therefore, even these films looked more like stage drama. Krittiventi Nageswara Rao made first social 'Prema Vijayam' (1936). This was a milestone in Telugu cinema. And its success led some more filmmakers take to socials. Dr PV Pathi made a comedy 'Comedy in Paris'. It was of one thousand feet film. This was considered as the first documentary made by a Telugu man in a foreign land. In 1936 Pathi made first commentary oriented educational film. This was also a thousand feet film. He added graphs and maps as part of the documentary.

Till 1934, films were being made in Bombay, Culcutta and Kolhapur. None constructed a studio of their own in Madras. In 1934, PV Das of Machilipatnam constructed Vel Pictures in Guindi at Madras. He transported the material for this from Machilipatnam to Madras through Buckingham canal. The first film made in Telugu's own studio was 'Sita Kalyanam' (1934). After the closure of Vel Pictures, Narasu Studios came up. In 1935 GK Mangaraju opened the first film distribution company with Visakhapatnam as its head quarters. That was named as Quality Pictures.
