Bollywood

1) An entitled, nonsensical mafia-run mix of hypocrites such as Casting-Couch moralists, illiterate intellectuals, item-girl feminists and meat-eating environmentalists pretending to be actors. In a way, like Hollywood.
2) Entertainment w*ores who often act as spin doctors and propagandists (often, Hinduphobic) on social media for a quick buck. They have absolutely no qualms about stepping on their country and peole just to get attention. Very far removed from morality.

The world's biggest film industry. Bollywood is so named because it is Bombay (now Mumbai)-based. Film output is about 800 films a year.

a film industry that encourages nepotism and doesn't allow any talented actors with no connections to succeed. bollywood is like a clique and gang. the funding for paying for their movies goes to many underground gangs, sponsors illegal activities such as child trafficking and terrorism. what once used to be a beloved film industry has recently become exposed for its dark secrets.

The Indian version of Hollywood. The letter 'B' in Bollywood comes from India's richest city, Bombay (now known as Mumbai). Bollywood is the world's biggest film industry and is famous worldwide.

Bollywood was created back in 1899, unlike Hollywood, which some people claim that Hollywood came before Bollywood. Hollywood was created in 1910.
Bollywood has the best exotic, captivating movies which everyone around the world love to watch. Cinemas in Korea also show Bollywood movies, and they are a big success there.
People from all around the world love to sing and dance to Indian Bollywood songs.
Bollywood produces over 1000 films per year and the songs are just so good.

The Indian film industry, where the films are in Hindi- the national language of India. Previously consisted of poorly done movies, with people dancing around trees and performing corny action stunts.

However, thankfully, the standard of bollywood has risen, with believable,fun movies and catchy songs.

Oh, and a fact I'd like to clear up:
# It isn't trying to leach off the name of Hollywood. Maybe it's copied it's name, but it isn't trying to pass off as the better version, or poor mans version of hollywood. I watch both kinds, and I assure you - they are very,very different. The bollywood stars do not get worldwide recognition, but the population of India is so large, that I'm sure they feel largely recognized anyway.

a film-industry consisting of weird indians trying hard to copy hollywood films and making them like musicals so that it will appear original

Poor mans version of hollywood, where every movie has the exact same plot/script, just different actors. Short for Hobollywood.
