The Diplomat

The Diplomat (2025) is an Indian political thriller directed by Shivam Nair, available to watch online on iFILM. John Abraham plays Deputy High Commissioner J.P. Singh, posted to the Indian High Commission in Islamabad — a posting that rarely involves anything as clean as a straightforward crisis.

One arrives anyway. A woman runs inside claiming she was forced into marriage in Pakistan and demands to be sent home to India. Singh finds himself in the tightest of corners: diplomatic protocol limits his reach, pressure is building from both governments, and the stakes extend well beyond one woman's situation. At 130 minutes, the film earns its tension through bureaucracy and brinkmanship rather than action. Watch The Diplomat online on iFILM.
