The Diplomat box office Day 1: John Abraham film opens at Rs 4 crore

John Abraham's latest release, The Diplomat, seems to be holding its ground despite the Chhava storm at the box office. The film, which is based on real-life events and released on the day of Holi, made a decent collection on its first day.

The Diplomat opened to a respectable Rs. 4 crore on March 14, according to trade website Sacnilk. The film's opening coincided with Holi, which may have affected its start. The film registered just 20.45 percent footfall. With the weekend approaching, the film is expected to see significant growth.

However, it was Chhava that registered a better collection at the box office despite being in the theatres for weeks. The Vicky Kaushal-starrer, directed by Laxman Utekar, earned Rs. 7.25 Crore on its fifth Friday, indicating its continued popularity.

India Today's review of The Diplomat read, "The Diplomat is a recommended watch for John’s terrific performance as JP Singh, the second half soars and culminates into a thrilling climax. No songs, no tricks or distractions, the film’s razor-sharp focus on telling this real-life story is definitely applause-worthy."

Directed by Shivam Nair, The Diplomat is based on true events and follows the story of Uzma Ahmed, portrayed by Sadia Khateeb, an Indian woman trapped in Pakistan after being deceived into marriage. John Abraham plays J P Singh, the Indian diplomat who plays a pivotal role in her rescue. The film also stars Kumud Mishra, Sharib Hashmi, Amitoj Mann, Jagjeet Sandhu, Bhawani Muzamil, and Vidhatri Bandi.
