{{Short description|Khortha-language films of Jharkhand, India}}
'''Khortha cinema''' refers to films produced in the [[Khortha language]] in the Indian state of [[Jharkhand]].

== History ==
Khortha cinema was predated in the 1990s by a growing interest in Khortha music. Widespread interest emerged around 1997 to 1998, when the song "Phoolal Phoolal Rotiya" by singer Gautam Kumar Mahato became a hit. After the partition of Jharkhand in 2000, competition increased. The first Khortha music studio was established in [[Katras]] under the name Deshwali Studio. The second studio was established in [[Nirsa]] under the name Lovely Music. The third studio was called The Music Company. Lens Music then followed.

=== Film ===
In the mid-2000s, the CD and DVD business crashed. Looking to transfer the interest in Khortha art to other media, filmmakers were inspired to shoot films in Jharkhand. The first feature film shot in Jharkhand was filmed in [[Kota, Rajasthan|Kota]], and is titled ''Jharkhandi Hero''. After its release, several other films followed: ''Pyar kar khatir, Hamer dehati babu, Gaon ke gori,'' and ''Goriya tor kariya''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.telegraphindia.com/jharkhand/khortha-film-hogs-limelight-at-cine-show/cid/526484 |title=Khortha film hogs limelight at cine show |publisher= m.telegraphindia.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://m.huffingtonpost.in/2016/01/08/chauranga-bikas-mishra_n_8936650.html|title='Chauranga' Director Bikas Mishra's Journey, From Hazaribagh To Film Festivals|publisher=m.huffingtonpost.in}}{{Dead link|date=January 2026 |bot=InternetArchiveBot }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.dailypioneer.com/2018/state-editions/jiffa-concludes-with-supplementary-awards.html|title=JIFFA concludes with supplementary awards|publisher=www.dailypioneer.com|access-date=2019-03-27|archive-date=2023-03-11|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230311101029/https://www.dailypioneer.com/2018/state-editions/jiffa-concludes-with-supplementary-awards.html|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.prabhatkhabar.com/news/ranchi/jharkhand-khortha-film-jharkhand-moti-ranchi-audition/1143797.html|title=खोरठा फिल्म झारखंडेक माटी का रांची में हुआ ऑडिशन|publisher=www.prabhatkhabar.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.prabhatkhabar.com/news/nagpuri-cinema/regional-language-films-shooting-complete-in-jharkhand-nagpuri-khortha/1248949.html|title=झारखंड : क्षेत्रीय भाषा में बनी कई फिल्मों की शूटिंग पूरी, जल्द होगी रिलीज|publisher=www.prabhatkhabar.com}}</ref>
