Bollywood the informal term popularly used for the Mumbai -based Hindi-language film industry in India . The name is a blend of two words,   Bombay (the former name for Mumbai) and Hollywood .

Bollywood is often incorrectly used to refer to the whole of Indian cinema ; it is only a part of the Indian film industry. Bollywood is one of the largest film producers in the world and the largest in terms of number of films produced.
