John Abraham's hit film after “Pathaan”

Released in 2023, this film grossed ₹543.05 crore and was a blockbuster. Since then, none of his films performed well, but “The Diplomat’s” success has revitalized his career.
Film based on the story of a real-life diplomat
Directed by Shivam Nair, “The Diplomat” is based on a true story. The film depicts the life of Indian diplomat J.P. Singh, who accomplished significant diplomatic missions for India abroad. The film stars John Abraham and Sadiya Khatib in lead roles. The film's content has resonated with audiences and received positive critical acclaim.
Will “The Diplomat” soon cross the ₹30 crore mark?
Given the film's current earnings, it is expected to soon surpass the ₹30 crore mark. If the film maintains its momentum during the second weekend, it could become another superhit in John Abraham's career.
