As it happens, Telugu has a much larger industry than Bengali. And Banglawood serves its purpose - no Indian will stop to wonder which state's industry I'm referring to with this name. On the other hand, for people outside Bengal to understand the use of Tollywood for the Bengali industry, they would have to know that the reference is to Tollygunje area in Kolkata, etc. What matters to me is that although I did not explain the term anywhere in the article, you (and all readers) got my meaning.
