251:. If this were a "list of highest grossing Telugu films" or even a "list of award-winning Telegu films" then I wouldn't have a problem with it, but it's not. What, pray tell, is supposed to be the definition of a "top film"? Even if it were given an appropriate rename, this is just a short, unreferenced list of "critically acclaimed" films, where just about any film could claim to be critically acclaimed by someone or other.

highest-grossing films in the Telugu language; certainly, we wouldn't apply that rationale to our lists of
Hollywood films. Finally, let's be clear that "Bollywood" is the term for films made in India, but there is no such language as "Indian", and the movies are made in a variety of languages for a variety of people.

a mirror of a list of Tamil-language films. Telugu and Tamil, like
English and German, are separate languages even though there are some commonalities. Neither do I believe that the fact that we have a list of Telugu films in 2008 means that a person cannot make a list of award-winning or

This strikes me as a legitimate topic, and the author has a record of contributions to
Bollywood topics, so I think that this will develop into a good article. I would point out to the previous posts that a list of Telugu-language films is most certainly
