I once came across a book called "alabdha

undiscovered. Sorry, dont remember the author's
name.

I agree. I have a proposition to those who are
hesitant to include telugu directors into world
directors list.
And that is, to come up with a list of 50 great
movies (All languages, not just english !). And I
will propose a telugu film to be added to that
list. You tell me why not. We can debate.
Telugu Film does have some good directors.
