An item number or an item song, in Indian cinema, is a musical performance that has little to do with the subject of the film in which it appears. The term is commonly used in Bollywood, Kollywood and Tollywood, to describe a catchy, upbeat, often sexually provocative dance sequence for a song in a movie.
