The term Bollywood was created by conflating Bombay (the city now called Mumbai) and Hollywood (the famous center of the United States film industry).
Its hindi film industry just like hollywood but they have songs in their movies.

Why do you ask?

The Indian film industry (shortened from Bombay Hollywood). It's actually a larger industry than the rest of the world's movie industries put together.

India's version of Hollywood aka Hindi Cinema. Their film industry located in Mumbai, India.
The names that catches my eyes are Aishwarya Rai (Miss World 1994) and Shilpa Shetty (Richard Gere kissed).
