The Odia film industry, also known as Ollywood, is one of the hidden gems of Indian Cinema. Ollywood is based in Bhubaneswar and Cuttack in Odisha, India. The name Ollywood is a portmanteau of the words Odia and Hollywood. The evergreen Odia films are a testament to how Odia moviemakers endeavoured to create awareness and eliminate the deep-rooted

social evils in our society through the medium of films and drama. Odisha has a long history of filmmaking, starting from 1936.
