In case you are having trouble to choose your pick, here's a little info on the clashing movies of August 3.

Fanney Khan

Anil Kapoor plays a music-obsessed taxi driver called Fanney Khan, who wants to see his plump daughter make it as a singing star. The movie reunites him with Humara Dil Aapke Paas Hai and Taal co-star Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, though he won't be romancing her this time. Instead, it would be Rajkummar Rao who would take on that duty. Fanney Khan is directed by Atul Manjrekar.

Karwaan

Irrfan Khan might not return to Bollywood any time soon, as he is recovering in London from his tumour (successfully at that). But the last Bollywood movie he shot for is ready for release and it looks promising. Marking the Bollywood debut of Malayalam heartthrob Dulquer Salmaan and YouTube sensation Mithila Palkar, Karwaan is directed by Akarsh Khurana. It is a quirky road trip comedy about three strangers who are brought together by two dead bodies!

Mulk

Who doesn't love a good courtroom drama with some hard-hitting dialogues? Mulk, directed by Anubhav Sinha, promises to be that, riding high on the current national-anti-national debate, and how radical elements view Muslims as Pakistanis. This is Rishi Kapoor's second film this year after a powerful performance in 102 Not Out. Taapsee Pannu, meanwhile, has already shown her mettle in this genre with 2016's PINK, only this time, she is playing the lawyer, not the accused.

Now the Hollywood players of the week,

The Equalizer 2

The first Equalizer movie was a sleeper hit, riding on Oscar winner Denzel Washington's star power and some well-executed action scenes. The sequel promises the same thrills and heavy-duty action. Directed by  Antoine Fuqua, the movie also stars Pedro Pascal, Ashton Sanders, Bill Pullman and Melissa Leo.

Mama Mia! Here We Go Again

The excitement for this decade-long follow-up depends on two factors - whether you have a stomach for Hollywood musicals or whether you have a taste in ABBA's music. The first movie has a huge hit, while the sequel retains most of the original starcast, with new additions in Lilly James, Andy Garcia and Cher. Good news is the reviews have been very positive for the sequel. The bad news is there is very little of Meryl Streep, who has been the biggest draw of the franchise.
