'Baahubali ��� the beginning' produced by Shobhu Yarlagadda and directed by S S Rajamouli won the honours at the awards which were announced on Monday. The Telugu film industry is the most prolific film industry in the world itself. If India produces the world���s most number of films, it is Telugu films in the country which top the list.Statistics available show that between April 2013 and March 2014, a total of 1966 films were made in India. Out of this, 349 were Telugu films, topping the list of films produced.Considering that the long drought of the coveted best national film award had eluded the Telugu film industry, the producer of ���Baahubali��� was naturally elated after the award was announced.���Winning the 63rd National Award for the best film is a huge achievement. Being the first Telugu Film to do so makes it all the more special!��� producer of ���Baahubali��� Shobhu Yarlagadda said. Prasad Devineni and K Raghavendra Rao are the other producers of the film.The epic movie set in the mythical ���Mahismathi��� kingdom in India wowed audiences across India and abroad too. Made with an estimated budget of Rs 120 crore, it is said the film garnered revenue up to Rs 600 cr.The film fascinated audiences because of its visual effects. The fact that producer Shobhu Yarlagadda acknowledged Srinivas Mohan who oversaw the visual effects speaks for the visual delight the movie was. The award means recognition for the producers.The best director award, however, has eluded S S Rajamouli who has literally worked magic at the box-office with the film.Till late in the afternoon, Rajamouli did not react about the national award on his twitter account. His last tweet was on March 25 appreciating the released recently film 'Oopiri' starring Nagarjuna and directed by Vamsi.

The film produced by Y Rajeev Reddy and J Sai Babu featured Varun Tej and Pragya Jaiswal.'Kanche' came as a refreshing change on the Telugu screen as it was set in the 1930s. The film woven around World War-11 and has love as the primary theme. The protagonist joins the British Indian Army and comes out as strong drama. Part of the film was shot in Georgia.Kanche was made with a budget of Rs 21 crore reportedly made double its investment. For three years from 2009-11, there was no award given for best film in Telugu but from the years 2012 till date, a Telugu film was able to get a best Telugu film award. If the jury considers that none of the films submitted are good enough, they do not give a best film award in the regional language films category.
