The Diplomat

An exceptionally well-crafted political thriller! Knowing it was based on true events made it even more compelling. I watched it with my family after playing Holi, and it was an absolute masterpiece.

John Abraham delivers a power-packed performance, proving he's more than just an action star. This film has no over-the-top action, no formulaic romance, no unnecessary song-and-dance sequences-just a raw, intelligent narrative that keeps you hooked. The subtlety in its storytelling and the symbolic references elevate it to another level, making it perfect for a family audience.

The film was made on a budget of around INR 50 crores, and I sincerely hope audiences help it recover its cost. It's crucial that we, as viewers, support such out-of-the-box movies so that more meaningful cinema gets made. This isn't propaganda; it's a retelling of real events, backed by archival footage. The truth deserves to be seen, and this film ensures it is. Highly recommended!

The Diplomate movie is a breath of relief for bollywood and audiance (with brain of course).

The whole non-twisted presentation of a true story with occasional attempts of creating goosebumps is very appreciable to me.

The non- grand masala formula is justified to yield a meaning ful cinema to the viewers.

Acting is okay. Direction is also adequate.

The cinematography and Editing is approximately working for the motive of storytelling.

Thar patriotic song are good. Background music is being beautifully used giving sound experience of exact narration of intensity and sincerity of the scenes. Without torturing your ears!

I would like to recommend this movie.

This movie 'The Diplomat' is based on a real and true story occured in 2017 where an Indian girl is lured for the marriage with a Pakistani man from KPKH, Pakistan.

Since its based on real story, the real story is already available on the Internet. As far as the Direction and actings are concerned, actor have performed well and direction is superb with respect to shooting locations and screen play.

John Abraham looks good as an Indian diplomat and Sadia is a very talented and promising actress. Although we know how the story goes in the end but the movie has dramatized certain parts which includes the plots by ISI and Locals of KPKH.

SO, If you like geopolitics and do watch this movie :)

A movie with this type of story is usually made into a big mass action film, this however takes a different turn, the film keeps the story realistic and displays the story without any over the top action or intense scenes.

Something like this was missing from John Abraham's last film VEDAA, John Abraham plays the normal character of a diplomat and that's that, in fact John Abraham is not even included in any action scenes, he's just a diplomat.

The film doesn't intensify itself but still maintains curiosity in the viewer's mind, we all know the ending, but how is it gonna occur that's the main question and that's where the film exceeds.

The acting performance are very good for the main characters, John Abraham feels in place alongside Sadia Khateeb who has given justice to her character.

The background score feels week but the film itself manages to maintain itself without the need of background music helping the story feel more intense.

Overall a great watch, more films like this should exist.

The plot feels overly stretched, with noticeable plot holes. Given that the film is partly inspired by actual events, I tried to look up the real story to better understand what truly happened, however, I couldn't find all the details. It's understandable that certain elements were added or modified for dramatic effect-after all, it's a cinematic adaptation-but unfortunately, the dramatization doesn't always succeed in holding the viewer's attention. At several points, it lacks the narrative pull that could have made the story more engaging. Most actors did their job well or at least fine, but the plot failed them.
