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!
