The Diplomat vs John Abraham’s 2013 political thriller
Back in 2013, John Abraham starred in Madras Cafe, a political thriller by Shoojit Sircar. Almost 12 years before, it made a better opening with 5.23 crores coming in.
Madras Cafe earned 21.01 crores in its first weekend, almost 56% higher than The Diplomat in 2025. The signs have not been very positive for John Abraham has his last theatrical outing, Vedaa was also a box office dud. The actor has stereotyped himself, featuring in similar genre, which isn’t working very well for him.
The Sikandar storm!
Salman Khan is arriving with his Eid treat, Sikandar, tentatively on March 30, 2025. This means the Diplomat has less than two weeks to mint maximum moolah. It must maintain a strong pace during the regular working days of the first week, or it could soon crash at the box office.
