Hello Anil,
The classic meaning of "item number" refers to highly sexualized songs with racy imagery and suggestive lyrics. The "item number" would feature an "item girl" who appeared in the film as a dancer, usually in a bar or nightclub, and was only in the film for the length of that song.
The modern item number
The term "item number" has now been relaxed to include almost all upbeat dance numbers involving either a woman in skimpy clothing, or a "guest appearance" from a star who is only in the movie for the length of that song. It is a common occurrence for these item numbers to occur in the opening and closing credits of Bollywood (Hindi, Indian film Industry) films.

In the context of Hindi films the ITEM number is the Specific Dance/Song Sequence which is picturised in a glamorous way to promote the Film. This Particular Song/Dance is performed by an Guest/Other Artist other than the Main Hero Heroine of the Film, Normally this type of songs are Cabaret Types/Sexy Appealing just to promote the Film.
This song is just linked up to the Film as an extra addition.
ENJOY FILMS.
