The Diplomat is now steady at lower levels as collections managed to stay at Rs. 1.51 crores on Tuesday. Monday collections were Rs. 1.53 crores and there is practically no drop. It’s on expected lines as well since on Monday a substantial drop was seen when compared to Friday (even if one accounts for the fact that it was Holi holiday), and hence now collections are stabilising.
The film would now be aiming for collections to continue to stay on top of Rs. 1.25 crore mark till tomorrow as well and the indications are that it would indeed happen. Post that on second Friday too if the film can stay over Rs. 1 crore mark then it would be even better as that would promise some kind of a run for two weeks for the film. There are a few films that do arrive this Friday, but The Diplomat should manage screens for itself and then over the weekend it should show better day in day growth than the first weekend where it was rather flat.
The John Abraham starrer has now reached Rs. 16.49 crores and if one has to compare then the collections are lesser than this year’s Devaa. The film had collected Rs. 19.43 crores in its opening weekend and post that after Monday (Rs. 2.35 crores), its four-day number stood at Rs. 21.78 crores. That said, The Diplomat has a much smaller budget, which means that from collections perspective it’s on par.
Note: All collections as per various box office sources
