Department Hindi Movie Review
Story: There ain’t any. After a point you don’t even care. We expected a realistic tale on cops, but Department only has superheroes, fighting for no apparent reason.
Direction: Finally a film that is likely to topple RGV Ki Aag to take the top spot.
Camera Angles: RGV is touching new lows with each film. Department seemed liked it was shot by a mouse, as the camera sneaks into unimaginable places. The focus is usually on the female butt, cleavage or her candy sucking – water dripping lips. It doesn’t even spare Sanjay Dutt’s teeth and Rana Daggubati’s crotch.
Performances: Rana Daggubati tries hard, but carries just one expression throughout. Sanjay Dutt doesn’t look fit enough for the role. As for Amitabh Bachchan, it’s heart-breaking to see the legendary actor in a psychotic role. Anjana Sukhani has about 10 minutes of screen-time. The talented Abhimanyu Singh is wasted. Madhu Shalini irritates. Of all the performances, Vijay Raaz stands out.
Songs: There are 2 item numbers in Department. One featuring an almost nude Nathalia Kaur, with men in the bar groping her butt. The other with Ganesh Acharya. There is a weirdly shot wedding song sequence too.
Overall, Department is an experiment that falls flat. Save you money and time. Go watch Ishaqzaade or The Avengers instead.
