THE DIPLOMAT collected 1.50 crore nett on Monday which is 60% down from Friday. But Friday was Holi and hence, the real drop from the film is probably 30-35% which is not bad. It ensures the film gets a second week run but the film needed a better Monday and collections at higher levels over the weekdays.

The film needed to be closer to the 2 crore nett range though this was going to be tough as its asking for a 10-15% drop from the fair value number of Friday. The total of the film is now 14.85 crore nett and its probably looking at a 19 crore nett first week which is a low collection for the film.

The problem for the film is also that it only has a little over 2 weeks until the flow of releases start which will end the run of the film. If the release was a few weeks earlier, then this hold would have been good enough to give it an extended run but with big films in the way, it will be a two week run.

The collections of THE DIPLOMAT till date are as follows.

Friday - 4,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 4,50,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 4,65,00,000 apprx

Monday - 1,50,00,000 apprx
