After collecting in the upwards of Rs. 4 crores from Friday to Sunday, The Diplomat faced a drop on Monday as Rs. 1.53 crore came in. The film had actually opened to fair numbers on Friday and then when it sustained quite well on Saturday, there were expectations that further growth would come in on Sunday. After all, Friday was Holi so the numbers that came in were better than what they would have been on a regular Friday. However, Sunday was flat and that somewhat indicated the way collections would turn out to be on Monday.

Still, considering the good word of mouth amongst those who had watched the film, there was an expectation of Rs. 3 crores+ number. It was more of a wishful thinking though because this would have been possible only if Sunday had gone past Rs. 5.50 crores mark at least. With that not happening, Rs. 2-2.50 crores Monday seemed more like a possibility but then the actual collections are actually lesser than that.

The John Abraham starrer will now be hoping to stay around the same levels right till Thursday, so that close to Rs. 5 crores more are added to the total. So far, the film has collected Rs. 14.98 crores and after Saturday it had seemed like this would be the first weekend total. However, these are 4 days numbers which means the first week would be in the thereabouts of Rs. 20 crores.

Note: All collections as per various box office sources
