S K It is hard to believe that this films comes from Ram Gopal Verma who has previously directed great films like Satya, Shiva and Rangeela. In this film he even managed to be get the worst ever performance from Amitab Bacchan. I have wasted nearly 3 hours of my life that I will never get back now, watching this film . Mr Ram Gopal Verma should serious think of a career change - How about starting a chain of tea stalls on bicycles.The only reason I have given it 1 rating is because IMDb won't allow any lower it actually deserves a -10. If you were to pick 10 students from your college who have never acted before I'm sure they will do a better job than the actors in this film.

Arti Tiwari I can not write a review on the whole movie, since it was so pathetic that I cant watch it for more than half and hour. The worse thing were the camera angles, it seems like if a kid have never handled the camera before is shooting the movie for the fun. It would have been a complete torture if I had to watch the whole movie. I am big fan of Amitabh B. and Sanjay Dutt but this movie was unbearable! This movie is: Pathetic and Crap. Ram gopal Verma have some real guts to repeat it again after the so called'' Ramu ki Aag' and Amitabh should be given an equal credit for signing this. By far the This is the worst movie ever made in Indian film history. Stay away!!!

GaneshKSalian Department directed by Ram Gopal Varma is a lazy,stupid film.Shot with Canon EOS 5D,Ram Gopal Varma takes such bizarre camera shots,that one will faint or be hospitalized for sure!Right from inside tea-cups to being flung across the beach as a ball to labyrinths of nostrils to steering of the car.Phew! The movie had great trailers.The posters were hard-hitting and brutal.But the movie turns out to be such a tomfoolery that you feel even a 4-5 year child playing the police-thief game is much entertaining.The saving grace of the movie is the performances.Amitabh Bachchan is marvelous as Sarjeao Gaekwad.Although having minimal screen space,he rocks!Rana Daggubati as Shiv Narayan is another actor to watch out.Although he has to work on his Hindi diction a bit more,he still provides a good performance.Sanjay Dutt as Mahadev Bhonsle is half-baked.His character starts off well but as the movie progresses he himself looks disinterested.Talents like Vijay Raaz and Abhimanyu Singh are purely wasted.Anjana Sukhani,Lakshmi Manchu are fine.Newbie Madhu Shalini is funny rather than deadly.Story: A suspended cop Shiv Narayan (Rana Daggubati) joins hands with inspector Mahadev Bhonsle (Sanjay Dutt) to free the city from underworld.Another reason why I liked this movie is for its climax.When Rana bashes Sanjay Dutt its such pure fun to see Dutt's paunch moving in slow-motion.The direction is highly poor.The story,screenplay,music,dialogs are bad.All in all,Department is a film of wasted talent,wasted opportunity,waste of time and waste of money.I am giving it a one on ten(Solely for the performances).

silvan-desouza RGV gave us several great gangster films from SHIVA, SATYA, COMPANY to SARKAR after which he lost his head. He was the man who gave a new lease to many actors and launched several great actors, directors and also explored underbelly of underworld brilliantly.In SARKAR he discovered new techniques like unique camera angles, background music.etc but that got repetitive soon and he made rubbish films like JAMES and several moreDEPARTMENT is another gangster underworld film, One expects it to be hardhitting sadly it gives a big headache and is a yawn!In this film all you remember is the Camera-work, This time around RGV has used such weird angles that give u a headache and make you feel you're watching some amateur video on youtube with big stars. The film does have some well handled twists but the camera-work takes away all the impact and makes the film look stupidIn one scene we have Deepak Tijori(remember him) moving with a kettle to pour tea and camera moving with him, Or in some scene we have the camera placed on a striker The film does have some good scenes like Amitabh's scenes with Rana and also some scenes of Bachchan alone, while some between Sanju and his wife In RGV's underworld films like SATYA, COMPANY, SARKAR the action scenes appeared real but here there are most artificial seem inspired by Singham and other such fares.The climax fight scene is the most funniest oneDirection by RGV is mediocre Music seems forced, The THODI SI PEELI number falls flat with overweight Ganesh Acharya cutting a sorry picturePerformances too disappointAmitabh Bachchan with a hoarse voice reminiscent to AGNEEPATH and character similar to SARKAR but with a funny touch is the sole actor who stands out, he plays his character in a way only he can play though not his best yet he livens up the proceedings Rana was average in DMD, he still seems stiff and needs to loosen up, yet a good try, he is superb in action scenes, RGV made lot of noise about his Hindi lessons which does show improvement here but still his Hindi is a bit out of place Sanju Baba after a riveting AGNEEPATH seems bored and looks overweight and uncomfortable, surprisingly the last film RGV worked with Sanju was DAUD(1997) which too was a flop Vijay Raaz does his role well which is underwritten Madhu Shalini annoys more with her stage like acting Anjana Suknani is average, Abhimanyu Singh who was terrific in RAKHT CHARITRA(2010) is terrible here and overacts Madhu Shalini is good, Deepak Tijori is alright
