Will The Diplomat Recover?
Directed by Shivam Nair, the film is inspired by real-life incidents and features a strong supporting cast, including Sadia Khateeb, Sharib Hashmi, Kumud Mishra, and Revathy. However, mixed reviews and stiff competition from Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava seem to be affecting its performance.
With Hollywood’s Snow White and other Bollywood releases arriving soon, it remains to be seen if The Diplomat can hold its ground or fade out in the coming weeks.
