Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Powerful

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

RGV is loosing his touch. Movies like Aag are disgrace to his portfolio of movies. The movie is good, story is "OK" but the actors are promising. The camera makes you feel dizzy! Cinematography is not up to the level and the camera quality is not good. The direction overall is very casual and doesn't portray what the film actually says. I would say that such movies are based on internal topics of the country and you need more research and it should leave a social message in the end to the audience. The maturity in direction is depleting. Rana Daggubati can really act well and lives unto his role. Watch the movie because Sanjay Dutt and Amitabh Bachhan are in it not for the director. At least not this time!

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).

I fail to understand why the Indian Cinema produces films that are completely worthless. To begin with the film had a star cast ranging from Big B to Sanju Baba & the direction was managed by none other than RG Verma. Seriously RGV what was going on in that brain of yours? The actors failed to deliver a good performance, the direction was extremely poor & I was unable to figure out where to movie was headed. All the scenes seemed to be shot by an amateur camera crew and there was a repetition of the same camera angle over & over again. If you are planning to watch this film it is my duty to stop you. Overall this movie does not even deserve a 1/10. It is simply awful.

Then when you think you have had enough of looking at Sanjay Dutt or Rana Daggubatti or Abhimanyu Singh or Vijay Raaz or that actress who hams as Naseer through the V of their legs and arms, or tight close-ups of chai utensil handles going around the room, the picture whirs into action mode. The picture and the plot keep shaking till they give you a headache. However, cinematography is the least of the film's problems.Mahadeo (Sanju) and Shiv Narayan (Rana) (if you don't notice the connection between the names, Ramu makes sure you do) and a few more cops are part of a strange police encounter department on a spree bumping off members of the Sawatya gang (Vijay Raaz who lurks around in a white dhoti ensemble, screeching at his gang members) in town.It doesn't matter what the plot is, Sawatya has an endless supply of gang members who take till the end of the film to perish. And there is some random gyaan about Bhagvad Gita. At some point Mr Bachchan enters the fray to do some spectacular hamming of his own, showing his penchant for doing 'legal things illegally' rather than 'illegal things legally.' Really Ramu, did you have to say that thrice in the film? You could argue that at least the item number must be worth the money. Yeah sure, if watching pelvic thrusts upside down is your cup of tea, why not? Madam Nathalia Kaur looks like she had to be given electric shocks while filming. This is not a film. It is a joke. Ramu, take a breath. Take a vacation. Go to Haridwar, meditate. A good cinematographer and a good film will come to you.
