It's India's answer to Hollywood, nicknamed as such because of all the movies being made in the Mumbai-based film industry, the biggest film industry in the world with 1000 movies a year. The term is often incorrectly used to refer to the whole of Indian cinema.
The name is a portmanteau of Bombay (the former name for Mumbai) and Hollywood, the center of the American film industry

Bollywood is the popular Mumbai-based Hindi language film industry in India. It is the biggest film industry in the world with 1000 movies a year. It has derived its name combinedly from "Bombay" (former name of Mumbai) and Hollywood. It's actually not the Indian version of Hollywood, friend.
