John Abraham's film The Diplomat sees slow ticket sales

timesofindia.indiatimes.com — March 14, 2025 at 01:01 AM UTC

John Abraham's film, The Diplomat, released today but has seen slow ticket sales, earning an estimated Rs 2 - 2.5 crore in advance bookings. The film faces tough competition from Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava, which remains popular. Despite being released during the extended Holi weekend, The Diplomat has not generated significant buzz. It is among Abraham's lowest openers, with limited advance bookings reported. The film, inspired by real events, features Abraham as a diplomat on a rescue mission. Ahead of the release, he met with External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar to discuss various topics, including diplomacy and football.
