[CHOCOLATE]

...american cinema called Hollywood?

[♥pinky♥]

just to show the difference between the 2. Did you know in Pakistan they make a Lollywood.

[the Boss]

American movie studios are located in Hollywood, California so that's why it's called Hollywood.

[JetAlone]

Bollywood is a parody of Hollywood. Bollywood isn't an official name; it's a term given to the Indian film industry because it rivals Hollywood in the number of movies it produces.

Hollywood is a district of Los Angeles, California. Many movie studios call it home. In the early 1900's it became the movie capital of the world due to the number of studios moving to the area and filming movies there. Although many people would dispute that title now, it is still considered to be the movie capital of the US.Bollywood is a play on the word Bombay and Hollywood. Mumbai (originally called Bombay) is considered to be the Hindustani language movie capital.
