The Diplomat (2025), starring John Abraham, is a gripping political thriller inspired by real-life events. Directed by Shivam Nair, the film tells the story of Indian diplomat JP Singh (played by Abraham), who works to rescue an Indian woman, Uzma Ahmed (played by Sadia Khateeb), from Pakistan. Unlike Abraham's usual action-packed roles, this film focuses on diplomacy, strategy, and intense drama rather than high-octane action sequences.

Indeed it is Commendable what John Abraham composed with his intense performance, while Sadia Khateeb has received accolades for her emotionally powerful portrayal. The supporting cast, including Kumud Mishra and Revathi, also deliver strong performances. The film successfully evokes patriotism, although some reviewers noted that a more balanced focus on all characters could have made it even better.

Dabba Cartel follows the story of five ordinary housewives who secretly run an underground betting syndicate in India. Initially, they appear to lead simple, domestic lives, but behind closed doors, they manage a high-stakes illegal gambling network known as the "dabba" system-an unregulated stock market betting operation.

As their business grows, they attract attention from dangerous criminals, law enforcement, and rival cartels, putting their lives and families at risk. The series explores themes of power, survival, and deception as these women navigate a male-dominated underworld while maintaining their everyday personas. With suspenseful twists and intense drama, Dabba Cartel keeps viewers hooked with its mix of crime, strategy, and strong female empowerment.
