About The Diplomat

Set against the backdrop of India–Pakistan relations, and exploring themes of diplomacy and the personal conflicts faced by diplomats, The Diplomat also stars Sharib Hashmi, Sadia Khateeb, Kumud Mishra, and Revathy in key roles.

An excerpt from the Hindustan Times review of The Diplomat read, “It’s a hard-hitting project otherwise, which has taken care of the second half curse- usually, a film’s pace goes down post-intermission. But The Diplomat has been treated as one of those thriller games where you have to complete a mission riddled with car chases and stressful encounters. How Uzma finally crosses the India-Pakistan border to reach home is given a satisfying conclusion”.
