If one delves into the history of Bengali cinema it might be well found out that in the earlier times the directors themselves. Directors like Satyajit Ray, Ritwik Ghatak, Agradoot produced their films which were directed by them too.

But with time things changed for the better. A more organised system came into being and thus there was more financial aid for the Bengali film industry. The Bengali cinema producers invested not only in the commercial movies but they also agreed to finance the offbeat films. At a time when Satyajit Ray or Ritwik Ghatak were making films they could hardly find producers for financing their films. But these times slowly disappeared and things took better shape with the mergence of stars like Prasenjit. Apart from the regular Bengali cinema producers the Bengali actors too aided the industry so that it survived.

Moreover the with emergence of Bengali directors like Rituparno Ghosh, Gautam Ghose, Sandip Ray, Anjan Dutta, Aparna Sen, Kaushik Ganguly and others the entire scenario in the Bengali film industry drastically altered.

Presently Tollywood looks secured in the hands of the keen Bengali cinema producers and able directors.
