A wide range of Hollywood and Bollywood movies are releasing on July 5, 2013. Here's your weekly guide into the various Hollywood and Bollywood movies releasing this week.

Despicable Me 2


The animated adventure is a sequel to Despicable Me that released in 2010. Steve Carell is back on screen to charm us as Gru. Gru is not a super villain any more, he is a spy appointed by the Anti Villain League to solve the case of a stolen 'evil mutating compound' that is causing mayhem in the world.

Why should you go?

The animated adventure is back after three years with the same team recreating the magic, you wouldn't want to miss that.

The Washington Post's review said that "some of those lively operations should provide a bit of ­nail-biting, especially for little ones. But there’s plenty of fun music to buoy the mood, thanks to original tunes from Pharrell Williams. And the animation is beguiling, particularly when Lucy drives her car into the ocean, transforming it into a submarine that scoots around sharks and fish."

Why shouldn't you go?
If you haven't seen the prequel and believe that following this one would be miserably hard then you could give this a miss. However, we would suggest you watch the first one and not miss this one for anything.

Director: Pierre Coffin, Chris Renaud
Cast: Steve Carell, Kristen Wiig, Benjamin Bratt, Miranda Cosgrove, Russell Brand, Steve Coogan, Ken Jeong, Elsie Fisher, Dana Gaier, Moises Arias
 

Policegiri
"Get ready for double entertainment" is the tagline on Policegiri's posters. Sanjay Dutt starring as a quintessentially robust police officer is already a hit among his fans. With the story revolving around his exhilarating fights and idealistic agendas, the movie seems like a perfect masala thriller.

Why should you go?

Sanjay Dutt is back in a film after a long break, you should definitely go for him. It's a police centric masala thriller, Indian audience has been a great fan of this genre.

Why you shouldn't?
If the trailer is not fascinating you enough then you qualify to miss this one.

Director: KS Ravikumar
Cast: Sanjay Dutt, Prakash Raj, Prachi Desai
 

Lootera

This love story is based in the 1950s revolving around the subtle romance of Ranveer and Sonakshi's characters. He is an archaeologist and she is the daughter of a zamindar. Their love story thrives until their lives take an unexpected turn and the situation changes completely.

Why you should you go?

The movie will remind you of Dev Anand's classics. You should watch this one to relive the magic of the golden era. Also, if the couple's chemistry is charming you in the trailers already, then you should go for this one.

Why you shouldn't?
If Ranveer and Sonakshi's romance doesn't excite you, then you shouldn't be in theatres for this one. If the movie looks archaic to you, then you can surely give this a miss.

Director: Vikramaditya Motwane
Cast: Sonakshi Sinha, Ranveer Singh
 

The Lone Ranger



Two heroes fight against greed and corruption to treasure the worth of justice in this world. Johny Depp as an American Indian warrior and Armie Hammer recall their tales of fighting for justice.
