August has been very eventful at the box office with as many as four successes — Gadar 2, OMG 2, Dream Girl 2 and Rocky Aur Ranii Kii Prem Kahaani (which arrived at the end of July).
September has some biggies too, book-ended with Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan and Prabhas’ Salaar.
Joginder Tuteja looks at the theatrical releases of the month.
Kushi
Release Date: September 1

There’s not much buzz about its Hindi version, so it boils down to how well it does in Telugu.
Jawan
Release Date: September 7
Earlier this year, Shah Rukh Khan arrived with Pathaan and it ended up creating the Rs 500 Crore Club for a Bollywood movie.
