MUMBAI: Post a three week lull after the release of Dabangg on 10 September, three films are releasing on 1 October. These include Sun Pictures‘ highly awaited Rajinikanth starrer- Robot; Nadiadwala Grandsons‘ Anjaana Anjaani; and Fox Star Studios India‘s Khichdi.

While Robot has been made on a whopping budget of Rs 1.6 billion, Anjaana Anjaani is said to be made at a cost of between Rs 340 to Rs 350 million. Khichdi, of course, is a low budget film comprising TV artistes of the TV serial by the same name - Khichdi.

The release dates of Anjaana Anjaani and Robot were pushed back. "It seems for the Ranbir Kapoor - Priyanka Chopra starrer, the new launch date could work as a dampener. The interest levels for this much-hyped movie seems to be waning. For Robot, the fan-following of "superstar Rajini" is bound to rake in moolah," says a trade analyst.

Interestingly, in Tamil Nadu, the tickets of the Robot (Enthiran) pre-view show were sold in a record 30 minutes.

As per cinema promotion tracking tool Cinematrix, Anjaana Anjaani would make an opening weekend collection of between Rs 280 to 300 million net.
