Department (2012)
2/10
Encounters 101
18 May 2020
Department: RGV wants to do an Abbas Mastan and doles out a spoof on a combination of Phoonk, Sarkar and Company. Honestly, the film could have been named 110 Encounters - Part 1, because that is what it is, simply interspersed with some meaningless dialogues and stupid songs. It was possibly aimed to describe polarization or nexus of the police department with the government and the underworld, but beyond a point, you don't give a damn to it or the characters that splutter to life only to die in a couple of minutes. It's mindless mayhem of blood, gore and flying people on the screen. A roving camera (mostly working on close ups) gives you the feel of sting operations and made my head spin (the film gave a headache anyway). A bunch of sweaty, looney goons perched atop an unfinished building preach sermons about the wisdom and morality of the gangsters and Big B's dialogues confuse the hell out of people. What's he doing in there? Dissociate from Ramu ASAP! Sanjay Dutt is the only one to stand out while the rest of the cast is useless! Ramu's magic has faded - so STOP! I will not watch the sequel to this one, no way! Stay away!!
