Bollywood

Hindi cinema, commonly referred to as Bollywood and previously known as Bombay cinema, pertains to the film industry located in Mumbai that specializes in the production of films in the Hindi language. The term Bollywood is a blend of "Bombay" (the former name of Mumbai) and "Hollywood." This industry is a segment of the broader Indian cinema, which encompasses South Indian cinema and various other regional film industries. It is important to note that the term 'Bollywood' is often incorrectly used to describe Indian cinema in its entirety; however, it specifically pertains to Hindi-language films, while Indian cinema serves as an overarching term that includes all film industries across the nation, each producing films in a variety of languages and styles.
