John Abraham starrer The Diplomat created a massive buzz with its release. However, it failed to serve what it promised. The film was promoted as a high-stake diplomacy and women empowerment saga. However, it ultimately delivered a dispirited tribute to the male saviour fantasies, which left the audience in dismay.
John Abraham’s The Diplomat is a failed feminist film
Shivam Nair based the film on the real-life story of an Indian woman named Uzma Ahmed who was tricked by a Pakistani man. The man pretended to be in love with her, only to land her in dangerous situations. While she was eventually rescued through diplomatic efforts, the film was supposed to be passed on to her rather than the diplomat.
