Though Officer to some extent had a story that could work (if executed with more care), it could have been saved to some extent (I’m doubtful) with decent editing. But, he is the person who can make or break your movie.

Most of us might not be aware of the editor’s role in bringing out a movie. I mean who does such stuff, is he a cop or a madcap? The Editor Is Your First Audience. If I was given a chance, without a thought, I would first erase that act of Shivaji throwing his mug in his house when he sees his daughter for the first time in Mumbai. They might instead help with points that could shape the script better. Even if the writer is convinced, giving it to a couple of friends for a second opinion does no harm. But, with Officer, though it had a story that looked luring, maybe the entire screenplay should have been read thoroughly. This mostly happens with Mahesh Babu’s movies. Sometimes there are movies that sound good on paper or in a narration but fail to impress the audience when they release.

Maybe she is a good actor, but Officer is definitely not the movie she was supposed to be placed in. The next character was Baby Kavya, who also was overdoing her role. She should have kept in mind that she is a cop and not a bandit queen. In the bizarre climax chase, which was shot just because these guys had money and cameras, Myra Sareen suddenly emerges, Tomb Raider style, out of the window and over does her role. Myra Sareen is my first no-vote in the cast. Never compromise on the actors, don’t cast actors who don’t fit the bill ‘best’. Shivaji, played by Nagarjuna, looks like he is just jumping from one action sequence to another and in between visiting his daughter. This makes objectives for the protagonist also weak. Fives minutes into the story with the antagonist ‘Pasari’, a senior Police Office, being introduced, we still wait and wonder what the director wanted to convey. When one looks to make an intense (going by the tagline ‘Cops were never this scary’) story, the objectives that the main leads want to achieve in the story should also be equally intense, definite, strong yet convincing. Building The Protagonist’s And Antagonist’s Objectives: Here I just wanted to pen down my thoughts on what I picked from the movie that one should NOT inculcate in making a movie or rather keep in mind before one thinks to entertain people. ‘Watch bad movies to learn how NOT to make a movie’ and this has been one reason I always love (or rather trip) watching flop movies. In fact, it was one of RGV’s statements that pushed my curiosity to watch Officer. And I also knew walking out of the movie, I would either learn or unlearn something. So, after knowing the kind of person he is, the movies he’s been making (at least that is what the credits read) and the buzz the movie generated, I knew I was up for some self-torture. But, he equally made cinema which embarrassed many, including the actors featured in them.

And he never boasts about that stuff much. That is fine! He did make some unconventional movies that changed the fate of Indian cinema as a whole. Many a time, RGV did mention that he barely gives a rat’s ass to what the audience think about his movies. When I opened Book My Show to book a ticket for the Nagarjuna starrer Officer, I was very much aware of the punishment I was going to give myself. ‘Officer’ – A Steady Guide To Unlearning Filmmaking
