The world's biggest film industry. Bollywood is so named because it is Bombay (now Mumbai)-based. Film output is about 800 films a year.
Bollywood is famous for Masala films; films with all the elements of films to appeal to a great audience: song, dance, action, romance, comedy, etc.

a film industry that encourages nepotism and doesn't allow any talented actors with no connections to succeed. bollywood is like a clique and gang. the funding for paying for their movies goes to many underground gangs, sponsors illegal activities such as child trafficking and terrorism. what once used to be a beloved film industry has recently become exposed for its dark secrets.
"Have you watched the latest bollywood movie?"

"No, I don't watch those anymore... I don't want to sponsor their child trafficking and drug business."

Poor mans version of hollywood, where every movie has the exact same plot/script, just different actors. Short for Hobollywood.
Fool #1: Have u seen that new bollywood flick?

Fool #2: Yes, and I\'ll be ending my life soon to get away from the pain.

A movie with Indians in it but incorporated with a great choreographered dance routine to some great tunes. Although you might not understand what they are saying, you'll definitely have your head bopping to the beat!
Did you see that latest Bollywood film that had some great tunes along with the dances? Awesome!

The H of Hollywood was replaced by the B of Bombay. It has no meaning besides branding movies from India as a BOLLYWOOD PRODUCTION. Non-existent place with no signs of warning(unlinke the famous Hollywood) and is just another name for Bombay(Mumbai).
Person 1: Did you see that Bollywood star-filled concert last night?
Person 2: Who could miss such an exciting BOLLYWOOD event?
