Bollywood is the Indian Hindi-language film industry based in Mumbai. Bollywood is one of the largest centers of film production in the world.
Bollywood films are primarily musicals, and are expected to have catchy song-and-dance numbers woven into the script. A film's success often depends on the quality of such musical numbers. A film's music and song and dance portions are usually produced first and these are often released before the film itself, increasing its audience.
