‘U-TURN’ REVIEW

By
KOMAL NAHTA

Balaji Telefilms Ltd. and Pawan Kumar Studios’ U-Turn is a suspense thriller. It is the remake of the Kannada film of the same name.

Radhika Bakshi (Alaya F), a journalist, is working on a story of the frequent road accidents on a flyover. Her colleague, Aditya Iyer (Ashim Gulati), is assisting her. While investigating, Radhika realises that the frequent accidents are caused due to the carelessness of those people who shift some blocks on the flyover to take a U-turn and don’t keep the blocks back in their place,
because of which car drivers crash against those blocks and die. Even while Radhika solves this mystery, she is shocked to find that of late, all those people who illegally take the U-turn, commit suicide soon thereafter. Radhika and police officer Arjun Sinha (Priyanshu Painyuli) set out to solve the mystery of the suicides. Are they really suicides or are they murders?
Why is one accident in particular — in which a lady and her daughter had died on the flyover — significant?
