Can't say it's a good offering in the name of opportunistic festival Release!!!

From start of promotion it didn't create same buzz as Pushpa 2! Sorry ... I have to relate the makers strategy and target clientele; the catered mob.

Nothing in script: Story places continues shifting randomly without going sequential. Though actions,fights look engaging with unique camera angle. But, Script is underwritten, poorly executed. Salman & Raksh mina's interaction, chemistry was okay. Though her's showcase is average & less impactful. Salman is boss of masala fights his acting was as it is!

And he should never compromise to justify his role!!

However!!

Some stars action or roles felt unrelated & illogical. Villain style don't carry intensity, serious nor threatening but shown forcibly & left him incomplete position without wrapping his storyline. Drama between hero and villain is not heavily translated. Despite movie does create emotional heartfelt scenes. But Salman speech, messaging & lecture doesn't land well instead of inspiring makes us boring. Visual color effects are captivating & eye catching. Structural connecting of plot, people & society looks repetitive overstuffed. Also runtime is long 2nd half felt over dragging. This could've cut made more emotional. This is not near to his iconic works like Sultan or Dabang.

Overall , let's say this will only appeal to salman's fans & towards festival time entertain seekers.

The Diplomate movie is a breath of relief for bollywood and audiance (with brain of course).

The whole non-twisted presentation of a true story with occasional attempts of creating goosebumps is very appreciable to me.

The non- grand masala formula is justified to yield a meaning ful cinema to the viewers.

Acting is okay. Direction is also adequate.

The cinematography and Editing is approximately working for the motive of storytelling.

Thar patriotic song are good. Background music is being beautifully used giving sound experience of exact narration of intensity and sincerity of the scenes. Without torturing your ears!

I would like to recommend this movie.

The world of crime-family dramas has always offered a potent mix of loyalty, betrayal, and raw emotion-but this film takes it to another level. From the opening scene, it grabs you by the collar and doesn't let go, immersing you in a world where power is inherited, trust is fragile, and the line between love and vengeance is razor-thin.

The storytelling is razor-sharp, weaving a rich narrative that blends high-stakes action with deeply emotional character arcs. At the heart of the story is the complex relationship between a mother and her daughter hardened by years as of her husband in his past linked with human trafficking underworld, torn between familial duty and her own moral compass. Every interaction crackles with tension, and the screenplay does a masterful job of balancing intimate drama with grand, often brutal set pieces.

What truly sets this film apart, however, is its commitment to emotional authenticity. The characters aren't just criminals-they're employers, daughters, mother and friends navigating a world that constantly tests their values. The performances are nothing short of stunning; the lead actor delivers a portrayal of a college going teen girl battling her inner demons while deceiving a pseudo intellect & righteousness. Meanwhile, the supporting cast breathes life into every corner of this intricate world.

The direction is equally impressive. Each frame feels purposeful-cinematography that shifts from moody shadows to explosive daylight, echoing the duality of the characters' lives. The soundtrack, brooding and melancholic, underlines the emotional gravity of the story without ever overpowering it.

In a genre often crowded with clichés, this film stands out for its intelligence, intensity, and heart. It's not just a story about crime-it's a story about legacy, consequence, and the haunting question of whether we are ever truly free from the sins of our family.
