The Diplomat review

An excerpt from the Hindustan Times review of The Diplomat reads, “Among the performances, Sadia easily stands out with a meaty role. She’s able to emote the pain and fear of Uzma well on screen, and fits the bill. Revathy as late former Indian External Affairs minister Sushma Swaraj has limited screen time, but makes big impact. Sharib has nothing much to do. Jagjeet Sandhu is pretty bang on as the abusive Tahir. Kumud Mishra as advocate NM Sayyed is pleasant to watch, like always.”
