As per Sacnilk, the film made ₹1.5 crore on Monday, ₹1.45 cr on Tuesday and ₹1.4 crore on Wednesday, as per early estimates. The Diplomat amassed a total of ₹7.65 crore, at the domestic box office. With the current trend of collection, it is expected to wrap up the first week under ₹20 crore.
During the rapid-fire session at Republic World, when asked how much he expects The Diplomat would earn since it’s a single release on Holi, the actor said that he didn’t know the commerce but is hoping that it trumps the collection of his previous releases like Batla House, Madras Cafe and Parmanu. He said, “I don’t know about the commerce. I know it’s a very good film. It’s a very credible film, and I know audiences come to see good films. I’ve done Madras Cafe before, Parmanu and Batla House. And I hope The Diplomat trumps all that and does better.”
The Diplomat, helmed by Shivam Nair, is set against a backdrop of real-life political events. The film explores themes of diplomacy, international relations, and the personal conflicts faced by diplomats. In the movie, he plays the role of JP Singh, an Indian emissary.
