It's a combination of the words Bombay and Hollywood. Hollywood being the center of the American film industry, and Bombay (Mumbai) being where the large majority of India's films are made. Bollywood does not pertain to all Indian movies, however. It is a genre that generally contains a love story amidst dancing and song.

Hii,

Bollywood is the informal name given to the popular Mumbai-based Hindustani language film industry in India. The term is often incorrectly used to refer to the whole of Indian cinema.he term Bollywood is so popular that most articles talking about the cultural, social and economical impact of Hindi movies, use the term Bollywood instead of Hindi film industry based in Mumbai. The word is used in almost all entertainment magazines in India and abroad, television, newspapers and even scholarly articles written about Hindi entertainment industry

Bollywood refers to India's film capital centered in the city of Mumbai (formerly known as Bombay and thus the origin of the word Bollywood). Bollywood produces more films than anywhere else in the world, including Hollywood.

Bollywood dancing is nothing more than fun. It is basically expressing the feelings out of you. Various Bollywood songs are made according to the theme.
