As part of udacity nanodegree program I developed an android app to see the movie posters and on clicking each poster movie details (movi name,release date,review,trailers)can be seen. i used theMovieDBAPI for the same. I wish to make an app which gives regional language movies from India through which users can add reviews ...... but I couldnt find any section for any of Indian laguages. Please help..

Hi Sunitha,
It kind of depends what you're looking for. If it's just translations, you can query the API with the
languageparameter. This is outlined in the docs here, under the "Languages" section.We don't provide any way of querying for movies that have a particular translation added, you can think of it as more like a filter that gets applied to the results.
If you're looking to query the API with regional releases dates, that's a whole other thing that we do not support at this time. I actually have the work for it done here on dev, so it won't be long before it's released.
Hope that helps.

Hello , Thanks for the quick reply. I would like to create an app for movies released in other languages especially regional languages spoken in India similar to collection of English language movies. I am listing below Indian film industries similar to Hollywood. Please let me know if you will be able to support these regional language movies.
1 Hindi (Bollywood) 2 Tamil (Kollywood) 3 Malayalam (Mollywood) 4 Telugu (Tollywood)
Thanks for your help.
