...there’s enough tension, despite the occasional chest-thumping and the flag-waving and the basic story-telling, to keep us with the film.

The Diplomat is the second consecutive film after Vedaa (2024) where John Abraham saves a girl. It’s not an unusual premise, but the film works because its heroism is less self-involved than usual.

This Indian political drama tells an engaging story based on true events, but the execution is uneven.

The Diplomat is well-paced, and it tackles some important issues, but its sense of jingoism proves entirely resistible.

It's like the last 2 seasons were interesting balloons and this year's balloon has popped. I've watched 2 episodes and am quitting on the 3rd. Waste of time.
