(Indian English, slang) The Bollywood movie industry.
An informal American term for a film studio — the place where movies are made and cinematic fantasies are manufactured. Hollywood has long been called the dream factory, with the term capturing both the creative magic and the industrial, assembly-line reality of how movies actually get produced. The phrase can be used affectionately to celebrate cinema's power, or with a sardonic edge to acknowledge the cold commercial machine behind the glittering facade. Either way, it's an evocative way to describe the movie business.
