Review
The story is interesting to hear, and how it has been molded into a screenplay takes it to the next level. At the same time, a certain kind of simplicity in the screenplay is presented by the director most simply. The other beauty of the screenplay is the way all these happen, which looks very convincing, like in the first scene when Uzma reaches the Indian embassy and tells J. P. everything that happened to her. On the contrary, J.P. questions her on the other; he also thinks that Uzma is not a threat to the country. All this scenario happens in the first 30 or 40 Minutes of the movie and sets the tone right for the movie at the same time, also creates curiosity in the audience's mind, and the way all this merged into a screenplay creates excitement.
A Gripping Journey with Thrill and Tension
Such movies where a person from one country is stuck in another country totally relies on the screenplay as the story is just like a line from point A to Point B where a point A is the country where the victim is stuck and point where the Point B the victim's home country So in such stories, the journey from point A to point B becomes important and the journey should be filled with elements like thrill. Tension and director Shivam Nair balance all these elements wonderfully. If something like this actually happens, how will the government react to this, and how will everything fall in place, all these showcases as realistically and simply as possible
The production value of the movie is exceptional and maintains the feel of watching a good budget Bollywood movie without any extra masala. Coming to other aspects, like the Background score, is intense and suits the tone of the movie. In direction, Shivam Nair shines once again after Special Ops. Being regarded as "One of the most watched Indian shows on OTT" proved once again his capability as a director by making a movie with elements like thrill and tension, and dialogues that also support the story.

The movie has a bunch of talented actors, such as Kumud Mishra, Sharib Hashmi, and Revathy, who provided much-needed support to the movie.
Conclusion
To summarize, Diplomat is an exceptional combination with an exciting story and a mature performance by John Abrahem and other actors in the cast. On the other hand, this is a serious movie; those who watch mass masala should keep away from this movie.
