Spoilers ahead
Inspector Mahadev Bhosale is thrust into a high-stakes mission when his seniors grant him broad, extrajudicial powers to form a covert hit squad known as the Department, aimed squarely at Mumbai’s burgeoning underworld. With a firm sense of duty and a sharp eye for danger, he recruits Shivnarayan, a disciplined police officer who was suspended after an daylight encounter with a notorious gang member from Mohammad Ghouri’s outfit. This alliance sets the stage for a brutal clash between two rival criminal factions—Ghouri’s and Sawatya’s—each vying for control of the city’s illicit empire, while the police press blame on themselves for not acting fast enough.
