Hindi cinema

makers should learn from Malayalam Cinema. He said, "There’s a certain humility that they bring to their cinema. They’re also very concerned about their craft, which is very important. To encapsulate what we’re speaking about, we, as an industry, should go back to our craft. We need to go back and focus on the writing, the direction and the performance, and start all over again. If we want to survive, we’ve to unlearn everything."
Meanwhile, 'The Diplomat' is doing well in cinemas and has seen growth due to positive word of mouth. It has crossed Rs 28 crore at the box office now.
