Hi @badarinath Unfortunately, Telugu is not currently a supported translation language and as such, there are no films translated to Telugu on TMDb.
You can view the languages which as movie has been translated to via the translations method.

Hi Rashida,
Yes, you can find them with their English translations but there is no other data attribute to find them by. That movie for example, only has an English translation. Like I mentioned above. there are no
tetranslations on TMDb.Do you think there's enough people that will contribute Telugu translations if I add Telugu as a valid translatable language?

I've just now added support for Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam. Bengali was already a valid language.
You can contribute translations to the website on our Locale project here: https://www.localeapp.com/projects/8267 Generally speaking users start to contribute more if the front end is native.
If you change your account settings to use one of the new languages as default, when you browse to a movie or TV show you'll see that the globe the upper right will turn orange. Click that and you can then click the "Create Translation" button. See here for an example.
