Modern Bollywood
Modern Bollywood is a label Spotify uses in its genre lists for present-day Hindi film songs, as distinct from the classic film songs of earlier decades.
The songs are still written for films and sung by playback singers while actors mime on screen. Hindi film music has long mixed Indian melody with Western pop, disco and electronic dance sounds, and the newer songs carry that on. The name comes from streaming; outside it, this music is simply called Bollywood or Hindi film music.
