The Diplomat Review: John Abraham’s much-anticipated action-drama The Diplomat is finally in theatres. Directed by Shivam Nair, the film also features Sadia Khatib, Revathy, and Kumud Mishra in key roles. The Diplomat kicks off with an intense opening scene that throws us right into the thick of things. A film on Indo-Pak tensions, and that too based on a true story — what else do you need to conquer the box office?
The plot follows Uzma Ahmed, an Indian woman who unknowingly walks into a nightmare when she gets abducted and is forced to marry a man in Pakistan. The movie starts with her daring escape to the Indian embassy, seeking refuge. And John Abraham as JP Singh, the Indian ambassador to Pakistan, fights against all odds to bring her back home safely. Based on the real-life ordeal of Uzma Ahmed, who was brought back to India in 2017 after allegedly being honey-trapped and forced into marriage at gunpoint, the film sets up a high-stakes diplomatic rescue mission.
