Indian cinema is celebrating its centenary year and it has all the reasons to do so since in 2012, India produced the most number of films in the world.
According to the latest official statistics, as many as 1,602 films were produced in the country in 2012, a sizeable increase from the 1,255 films made in 2011. The figures by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) reveal that with 262 films, Tamil film industry has nudged out Bollywood from the number one position. Telugu film industry stood second with 256 films while Bollywood was relegated to the third slot with 221 films.
A large number of films are made, several of them do not get released. This means that even though the CBFC certified 1,602 films in 35 languages, many of them may not have seen theatrical releases.
