Gujarati cinema The Gujarati cinema, informally referred to as Dhollywood or Gollywood, has produced more than one thousand films since its inception. It is one of the major regional and vernacular film industries of the cinema of India associated with the Gujarati language. During the silent film era, many individuals in the industry were Gujaratis. The language-associated industry dates back to 1932, when the first Gujarati talkie, "Narsinh Mehta", was released. After flourishing through the 1960s–1980s, the industry saw a decline through 2000 when the number of new films dropped below twenty. The industry has been partially revived in the 2010s due first to rural demand, and later to an influx of new technology and urban subjects in films. In 2005 the Government of Gujarat announced a 100% entertainment tax exemption for Gujarati films, and in 2016 a policy of incentives.
