Over the years, and in major film-industries of the world, it became one of the proven revenue earning genres. Indian Bengali film-industry (aka Tollywood) is also no exception to this. Several noted Bengali film-makers, since the mid of last century, have profoundly contributed to enrich this cinematic genre.
