Bollywood...why?!

I still wonder why people stick to a demeaning name that neither represents the language nor a location, here in the forum and in India, too. You all write Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Punjabi etc ...it's extremely rare or doesn't happen at all, that I read here names like Kollywood, Tollywood, Mollywood, Gollywood, Pollywood,and/or Sandalwood.instead of language or region.

So, why stick to Bollywood, when Hindi is easy to write?

How hope for respect for Hindi movies when they all are called Bollywood movies. Already the sound of this word is ridiculous.

What do you think? I'm really interested how you feel about this term.

Amitabh avoids using this word and calls it disrespectful.

And I agree. These woods sound wannabe and like some cheap copy of Hollywood.

We do not need to use their terms.

I would prefer Indian cinema or referring by region or language such as Hindi cinema or Kannada or Tamil, Punjabi, Bengali etc.

The term Bollywood kind of irks me.

It irks even people from the filmindustry and nevertheless, it is used by many of them ... constantly. although they could easily say Hindi cinema, Hindi film, Hindi filmindustry... and MUMBAI isn't Bombay anymore! Will they not even there, where it is easily possible, shed the Western command???!!!

When I saw this title I thought it had todo with our Bollywood as it’s a nick name given 

Edit: Is pollywood referring to Punjabi cinema. I have never heard that term used. I only heard wood being used in north and south cinema. 

Let’s not debate 

Let’s just go from here 

let’s refer to it as Hindi film industry, if others do that’s good. If others don’t I don’t know what to say 

That's because of impact of imperialism.

Okay, then first we should ask Vijay to change the name of this forum.
