About The Diplomat

Directed by Shivam Nair (of Naam Shabana fame) and starring John Abraham and Sadia Khateeb in the leading roles, the film is based on the real-life story of Indian national Uzma Ahmad. She was brought back to India in 2017 after allegedly being honey-trapped by a Pakistani man. She revealed she was made to marry at gunpoint and abused after she visited him in his country. It recounts the efforts of senior diplomat JP Singh, currently the envoy to Israel, to rescue the Indian woman who was lured to Pakistan in 2017 by a man who promised to marry her. John is seen in the role of Singh in the film.

An excerpt from the Hindustan Times review of The Diplomat read, “It’s a hard-hitting project otherwise, which has taken care of the second half curse- usually, a film’s pace goes down post-intermission. But The Diplomat has been treated as one of those thriller games where you have to complete a mission riddled with car chases and stressful encounters. How Uzma finally crosses the India-Pakistan border to reach home is given a satisfying conclusion”.
