Story Idea - Department is an action thriller about the ongoing war between the police and gangs in Mumbai. When police officer Mahadev Bhosale (Sanjay Dutt) is asked by his bosses to form a hit squad to take on the Mumbai underworld, he recruits Shiv Narayan (Rana Daggubati), an honest and brave police officer who had been suspended for an encounter killing.
Together, Mahadev, Shiv and others in the ‘Department’ take on Sawatya’s (Vijay Raaz) gang. Sawatya, in spite of many exhortations by his number two, D.K. (Abhimanyu Shekhar Singh), and D.K.’s feisty girlfriend, Naseer (Madhu Shalini), does not hit back at the police.
There is another rival gang, lead by one Mohammad Gauri.
There is also the gangster-turned-minister, Sarjerao Gaikwad (Amitabh Bachchan). Shiv saves his life at a public rally and Sarjerao takes Shiv under his wing. Mahadev warns Shiv that Sarjerao is just using him. After a certain turn of events, it is exposed that Mahadev is actually working for Mohammad Gauri and is, at the ganglord’s behest, finishing off Sawatya’s gang.
While Shiv declines to be a part of Mahadev’s corrupt world, and Mahadev agrees to let him go. Gangster D.K. form another gang as Mahadev was supporting him and D.K. start clearing root of Sawatya's gang from Mumbai.
But following his duty, Shiv starts taking on this new gang and destiny brings Shiv and Mahadev against each other.
Who is right? Who is wrong? What about the Sawatya and Mohammad Gauri gangs? What role does Sarjerao play in the final outcome of all this? The rest of the drama is all about this.
Performance - Rana Daggubati, as Shiv Narayan, puts in an earnest effort. He is really good in the action scenes and raw in others. Sanjay Dutt, as Mahadev Bhosale, manages to look earnest enough. Amitabh Bachchan (as Sarjerao Gaikwad) had also impressed me by his performance.
Charm Factor - Rana Daggubati's performance and item song by Nathalia Kaur can be considered as charm factor of this movie. Ram Gopal Varma’s experimentation breaks the film. The music of the film, composed by Dharam Sandeep, Bappa Lahiri and Vikram Nagi, is average. Department will run on the basis of performance by these big stars. Otherwise, it is not with a very good story line and RGV's unconventional camera and editing technique had made it tuff to watch.
