The Diplomat Hindi Movie
The Deputy High Commissioner, J.P. Singh, faces an unusual crisis when a mysterious woman rushes inside the Indian High Commission in Islamabad, claiming to be an Indian citizen and seeking a return to India.
The Diplomat has received mixed-to-positive reviews from critics. While John Abraham’s performance has been widely noted, opinions on the film's execution vary. Some critics, like India Today, praise it as his career-best, while others, such as Rediff and Pinkvilla, find the film to be safe and bland. The screenplay and storytelling receive appreciation for their tight structure (Deccan Chronicle), but some reviews, like The Hindu’s, highlight a lack of depth in character development. The film's political undertones remain restrained, avoiding overt propaganda (Indian Express), though some found it lacking in boldness (Hollywood Reporter India).
Verdict:
The Diplomat is an engaging political thriller with strong performances, particularly from John Abraham and Sadia Khateeb. However, the film does not fully capitalize on its potential, with some critics noting a lack of depth in its storytelling. Those interested in political dramas with a balance of realism and restraint may find it compelling, while others might see it as an underwhelming experience.
