TimesOfIndia.com 2/5

One line - "Chamatkaar ko namaskar" - nails it. You stagger out sensing something wasted - Nathalia Kaur's item number's more hideous than hot, the prettiest thing around is a translucent tea-cup, the action is mind-numbing. Losing the plot and three strong stars, Department shoots itself in the foot. Read More

BollywoodHungama 2/5

On the whole, DEPARTMENT is neither novel, nor experimental, but a return to the tried and tested formula. Disappointing! Read More

Finally, we are left to wonder whether Ram Gopal Varma used the camera for the story or the story for the camera! As his filmi Factory gets condensed to a mere department, the audience fails to understand the rogue methodology..and when an elephant becomes a rogue, shoot it, before it tramples you. Read More

Rediff.com 1/5

The director who showed us how to film violence is now sucking basic action scenes of their dynamism, leaving them dry and dead, but filming his movie's carcass from multiple angles. Tragically enough, Satya and Shiva are just names of characters for the new Ramu. Read More

NowRunning.com 1.5/5

To sum it up, Department can leave you with a massive migraine attack, watch his earlier oeuvres instead. Read More

ApunKaChoice.com 1.5/5

We give Department half a star extra for Amitabh Bachchan's performance! Save for Big B, this film is RGV ka Lava. Read More

IBNLive.com 1.5/5

'Department' is tedious and boring and doesn't have any of the originality of 'Satya' and 'Company', or even the occasional tension of 'Sarkar'. Dutt delivers his lines like he's reading out the phone book, and Bachchan hams it up no end as the gangster-turned-minister. Read More

Overall, it is Big B who takes the burden off RGV to shoulder the movie. It might have just been another violent sexy movie without glory. So, fans of Amitabh Bachchan shouldn't miss it. Read More

BharatStudent 2.75/5

While the first half takes off on a confusing note, things settle after a while and pick up. The second half also has a good momentum but the climax turned out to be rather abrupt and little stale. Overall, the film is a good watch to see the new techniques and performance of Big B. Read More

Department is a sure let down. For those who suffer eye problems, Department is a complete 'no no' for them. In short, this RGV flick is a complete waste of time and money. You are sure to curse yourself once to move out of theatre, after watching out RGV's camera obsession and bizarre action. Read More
