Bollywood cinema
Indian film industry
Bollywood cinema is the Hindi-language film industry based in Mumbai, India—the world's largest by number of films produced.
The name blends Bombay (Mumbai's former name) with Hollywood.
Bollywood films are known for elaborate musical numbers, melodrama, and vibrant production values: a classic Bollywood cinema dance sequence.
The term sometimes loosely describes all Indian film, though India has distinct regional industries.
