"The Diplomat doesn’t play it safe. With a detailed disclaimer, it directly names the real individuals involved in the case. A fleeting reference to Kulbhushan Jadhav is a smart move, making the audience feel a part of the real-world timeline without distorting facts for entertainment purposes. This film reestablishes John Abraham as the action hero audiences have always loved. Going forward, he should opt for more such compelling scripts. As for Sadia, this film is likely to open many doors for her."
With its intriguing premise, gripping performances, and real-life inspiration, The Diplomat is shaping up to be a must-watch. Fans are eager to see John Abraham in a role that aligns perfectly with his action-hero persona. All eyes are now on March 14, when the film finally arrives in theaters.
