 The Diplomat Movie Review & Release Live Update: John Abraham's Film Faces Slow Start at Box Office During Holi Weekend

After his role as the antagonist in Pathaan, John Abraham returns to the silver screen in The Diplomat. The film, an intense action-drama inspired by real events, stars John as an Indian diplomat on a critical mission to rescue an Indian woman trapped in Pakistan. Directed by Shivam Nair, the movie promises a compelling blend of political intrigue, emotional depth, and gripping action.

Known for his commitment to authenticity, John Abraham went through extensive preparations for his role. Ahead of the film's release, he shared that he attended workshops and closely studied the real-life Indian diplomat JP Singh, who inspired his character. Recalling his experience of meeting Singh, John remarked, "J.P. Singh sir came on set, and I observed his body language, the way he spoke—very sweet, simple, but you could tell he thinks ten moves ahead, like in a game of chess."

To refine his portrayal, Abraham also trained with renowned acting coach Saurabh Sachdeva, working on his body language, dialogue delivery, and overall persona to align with the intelligence and composure expected of a diplomat. He likened this transformation to his performances in Madras Cafe, No Smoking, and Parmanu, where he tackled complex roles.

Alongside Abraham, actress Sadia Khateeb plays a significant role in the film. Khateeb, excited about her involvement, shared how she bonded with John over their shared passion for motorcycles. She recalled her childhood fascination with bikes, sparked by Dhoom, and was thrilled to discover John's impressive collection. She even jokingly asked him to gift her a bike if the film performed well, to which Abraham playfully agreed.

With its strong performances, real-world inspiration, and thrilling narrative, The Diplomat aims to be an engaging cinematic experience. Scheduled for release on March 14, during the extended Holi weekend, the film is expected to capitalize on the holiday box office boost. However, early estimates suggest it may open with a collection between Rs 2-2.5 crore.

Audience Reactions:

• A Twitter user shared, “A thrilling ride with John Abraham in ‘The Diplomat’! Unique storyline, top-notch action, and stellar acting. Definitely worth the watch!”
• Another reviewer stated, “A decent film which is very simple. Sadia Khateeb is the soul of the film. John Abraham has tried something different. It could have been a Uri or Raazi if more 'masala' was added.”
