Much like 'Spanglish' is an amalgam combining the Spanish and English languages, Hindinglish combines Hindi and English. Hindinglish is used in many Bollywood films and contemporary television shows, such as 'Monsoon Wedding' and 'Breathe: Into the Shadows' (respectively). The nature of transition between Hindi and English in Hindinglish phrases/sentences varies, but is typically more Hindi-heavy (otherwise we would have to call it Englindi, and that just doesn't sound as good).
Dave: "Dammit! They're speaking Hindinglish again! I can only understand half of what they're saying!"
Sally: "Awww. I find it charming."
