The Diplomat (2025) is a gripping Hindi-language action drama directed by Shivam Nair and inspired by the real-life story of Uzma Ahmed. The film stars John Abraham as J.P. Singh, an Indian diplomat, and Sadia Khateeb as Uzma Ahmed, a woman who escapes captivity in Pakistan after being forced into marriage. The narrative delves into the complexities of international diplomacy, legal hurdles, and the emotional struggles faced by Uzma and the Indian Embassy staff.

Set against the backdrop of tense Indo-Pak relations, the film highlights the relentless efforts of J.P. Singh and his team to bring Uzma back to India. Revathy portrays the late External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, adding depth to the story. The movie avoids cliched patriotism, focusing instead on the nuanced challenges of diplomacy and human resilience.

With a well-researched screenplay by Ritesh Shah, The Diplomat balances suspense and emotional intensity. The performances, particularly by John Abraham and Sadia Khateeb, have been widely praised for their authenticity. The film also features Kumud Mishra and Sharib Hashmi in pivotal roles. Scheduled for release on March 14, 2025, The Diplomat promises to be a compelling cinematic experience that sheds light on a remarkable true story.
