John Abraham’s The Diplomat is maintaining a steady run at the box office after a decent start. Inspired by the real-life story of Indian diplomat JP Singh and Uzma Ahmed, the film hit theatres on Friday and received positive reviews. Strong word-of-mouth has further contributed to its stable performance in cinemas.
