The Great achievement won by India

originThe word Bollywood is (obviously) a play on Hollywood, with the B coming from Bombay (now known as Mumbai), the center of the film world. The word was coined in the 1970s by the writer of a magazine gossip column, though there is disagreement as to which journalist was the first to use it. The new era beginsThe first Indian movie released in India was ' Raja Harishchandra ' byDadasaheb Phalkeon 18 May 1912 at 'Coronation Cinematograph', Mumbai
