The Diplomat (2025) 1080p WEB-DL Hindi Movie Review

7/10

Highly Recommended 👍🏼

Shivam Nair's "The Diplomat" is a gripping cinematic retelling of Uzma Ahmed's harrowing ordeal in Pakistan. It masterfully balances drama and realism, delving deep into the tense corridors of Indo-Pak relations without succumbing to melodrama. The film's razor-sharp focus on storytelling, paired with stellar performances and meticulous direction.

From the very start, Nair sets a somber and urgent tone, avoiding unnecessary embellishments. The absence of songs and other distractions works in the film's favor, ensuring the narrative stays taut and the tension palpable. The background score is particularly commendable. The cinematography is another highlight. The second half of the film soars, culminating in a nail-biting climax that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats. The final act is both satisfying and applause-worthy.

John Abraham's portrayal of a diplomat navigating this complex web of international relations is outstanding. Sadia Khateeb, as Uzma, is the heart and soul of the film. Her pain, fear, and resilience are portrayed with raw authenticity. Revathy's portrayal of the late Sushma Swaraj, though limited in screen time, leaves a lasting impact. Kumud Mishra adds warmth and reliability, while Sharib Hashmi and Vidhatri Bandi provide solid support. Jagjeet Sandhu stands out as the abusive Tahir, delivering a chilling performance that adds to the film's tension.

8/10

A Top Notch Political Thriller

The Diplomat is a no nonsense political thriller that perfectly demonstrates how to keep the audience (At least those who turn up for the movie) hooked to the screen with a tense story and crisp screenplay supported very well with honest performances by talented actors.

John Abraham does a pretty good job as the titular smart and decisive Indian diplomat, even though his built perhaps makes him look a bit out of place as the calm protagonist. Sadia Khateeb is exceptional as the Indian woman tricked into an unwilling and abusive marriage in Pakistan. She balances the fragility and strength of her character very well and gives a great performance. Kumud Mishra, Sharib Hashmi and even the antagonists portrayed by Ashwath Bhatt and Jagjeet Sandhu do a justice to their respective roles. Revathy is good in her small but impactful role.

Shivam Nair truly delivers a cracker of a political thriller after directing tense spy thrillers like Naam Shabana, Special Ops and Mukhbir. The Diplomat is definitely close to the quality and thrills of his earlier work and a step up as far as his previous silver screen outings are concerned. Many may wait for the movie to land on OTT in a couple of month's time but if we want more cinema of this level of quality and genre then we should support it more in theater. Hopefully its target audience will not betray it at the box office. A top notch solid thriller. 8/10.
