Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express ...there’s enough tension, despite the occasional chest-thumping and the flag-waving and the basic story-telling, to keep us with the film. Rated: 2.5/5 Mar 14, 2025 Full Review Ishmeet Nagpal Common Sense Media This Indian political drama tells an engaging story based on true events, but the execution is uneven. May 27, 2025 Full Review Steve Morrissey Radio Times The Diplomat is well-paced, and it tackles some important issues, but its sense of jingoism proves entirely resistible. Rated: 2/5 May 23, 2025 Full Review Rohan Naahar The Indian Express In a regular movie, John Abraham's titular character would've been a supporting presence who shows up in the final 10 minutes. But in The Diplomat, he exists to rob the female heroine of her agency. May 22, 2025 Full Review Tatsam Mukherjee The Wire (INDIA) 'The Diplomat' wants to be 'Argo' but Ends up Catering to the 'Kerala Story' Audience Apr 25, 2025 Full Review Surya Komal Just for Movie Freaks The Diplomat is an ambitious film that falls short in execution. Rated: 2.75/5 Apr 2, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/16/25 Full Review Niranjan D Acting is average to below average, but a riveting movie for sure. Great story that everyone should know about. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/01/25 Full Review Gk S Pretty good movie and maintained the tempo all thru. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/25/25 Full Review marah h Very intresting movie , i enjoyed every minute of it , it keeps you engaged with the events and the story. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/24/25 Full Review SkyRo P The diplomat in the 2025 foreign film was expertly directed, showcasing a unique and creative vision through its varied cinematographic angles. The director skillfully captured the performances of the entire cast, particularly the lead actress, who takes us on a poignant journey as a refugee seeking to return to India after being kidnapped. The lead actress delivered a compelling performance, bringing depth to her character. However, the screenplay left something to be desired, with several inconsistencies and moments that felt overly drawn out. At over two hours and seventeen minutes, the film felt lengthy, especially considering its lack of frequent action, which sometimes made it feel tedious. While the editing and sound design were generally acceptable, there were instances where the audio seemed misaligned with the on-screen action, creating a sense of anticipation for thrilling moments that never materialized. Ultimately, this film is a lengthy watch that has its highs and lows. While it may resonate with some audiences, and I found enjoyment in parts of it, I likely wouldn’t choose to watch it again. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/18/25 Full Review Read all reviews
