Analysis

Ram Gopal Varma is a director who doesn’t compromise on his vision and Department is one such film. In Department, he presents the war of power with ease and in fact brings the picture of crime in a convincing manner. The tried-too-many-times genre itself can be forgiven but the screenplay plays spoilsport.

What’s there?

  • The visual tempo of the movie is pretty good.
  • Dharam-Sandeep’s background score elevates the film.

What’s not there?

  • The film is filled with too much action sequences. However, certain action sequences have been shot well.  
  • The writing is weak.
  • You get a feeling, “I have already seen it” while watching many scenes.
  • The insertion of some songs is not at all necessary for the flow of the film.

Verdict:

Department has nothing new to offer…with a good cast, the movie could have been better but unfortunately fails to leave an impression.
