[edit] The pioneers
First ‘entirely in colour’ film: Lavakusa (1963/ GevaColor).
Bandipotu (1963) was Telugu cinema's first film to have some sequences in Eastmancolor
Amarashilpi Jakkanna (1964/ Telugu) was Telugu Cinema's first full length colour film shot in Eastmancolor. The economics of using expensive Eastmancolor made sense because the 161-minute epic was simultaneously made in Telugu as well as Kannada. The film was directed by Ranga B.S. and Jakkanna was played by Akkineni Nageshwara Rao. Saroja Devi B. acted as his love interest.
Eenadu (1982) is supposed to be the first Eastmancolor film in Telugu. Maybe it was the first Eastmancolor film in Telugu alone (without a simultaneous version in another Indian language)
[edit] Milestones
First colour film: Lava Kusha (Geva Color) (1963)
First Eastmancolor film: Bandipotu (Partly coloured) (1963)
First full length Eastmancolor film: Amara Shilpi Jakkanna (1964)
First ‘social’ film in colour: Tene Manasulu (Eastmancolor) (1965)
Last film in Geva Color Tahsindhar Gari Ammayi (1974)
Then where does this leave Eenadu (1982/ Telugu)? Nowhere. ( Eenadu is claimed on the internet to be the first Telugu film in Eastmancolor)
