Just a simple concept - However, very well presented. There was not a moment to think elsewhere. Each scene is so strongly tied to the predecessor and successor.
A suspense thriller packed with a wonderful message is what you can expect from the beloved director Pawan Kumar. Just as Lucia, this is another masterpiece, which is not a typical hero-oriented movie, but a subjective one.
A modern girl, her boy friend, their beliefs about super-natural powers, traffic violations, sincere cops - These are some of the key words that hit ones mind when they watch this movie.
It is definitely a must-watch for people who think it is OK not to obey traffic rules.

Totally Disappointed with the U-turn. When Pawan Kumar announced about his next project after Lucia, i was excited as most of them. And when trailer came out i was in an entire different world. i couldn't wait for the film to be released as i was confident that this is going to be one of the best movie of the year as there was an immense trust on new poster boy of Kannada movie industry "Mr. Pawan Kumar"
When i started watching the movie , the first scene itself was a huge let down. The heroine of the movie "Shraddha Srinath"'s expression was so awful that i had one hand on my bald head. and i must be honest the story of the first half was too gripping.. Awesome narration, Brilliant screenplay and technically spot on and it kept me on edge of my seat. Though the acting was pathetic from most of the actors including the heroine, the story and screenplay was able to mask it. At interval i was already placing the movie next to "Seven". It was that gripping.
And then the second half began and that was the start of whole comedy show. The story lost all its soul. I mean how can you believe that just because u took a "U turn" u r being haunted. This must be the lamest Horror reason that i have ever come across. If it was thriller then there is a lack of logical points. If it was a horror movie then there was no effort to scare you at all. If it was a "horror thriller" then it feels it was directed by someone else and not pawan kumar. The script was so weak that we were making fun of the film scenes, and turns out its not just us, it was half the theatre.
How can the director who narrated the story of Lucia , is capable of writing and directing U turn. it feels like the climax of the movie is decided on the morning of the shoot and it looks like out of so many suggestions , one climax was chosen at random.
Totally disappointed with the Movie. The man who made me watch the kannada movie again made me feel so awful about the kannada movie all over again.
Hopefully next movie of his will be an upgrade over this or at least not this degraded.

U Turn (2016) :
Brief Review -
This socially appealing supernatural thriller rides in the right direction for genre lovers; others can just wave their hands while passing. Pawan Kumar's U Turn is a supernatural thriller and therefore a work of fiction, yet it mentions 'inspired by real events'. When you know it's about ghosts, there is a very minor chunk of the audience who's gonna believe its reliability. However, that is a different topic of argument, so I will leave that to every individual. The plot of U Turn revolves around the deaths of motorists who break a traffic rule at a particular flyover in Bangalore. Whoever breaks the traffic rules of the partition block is found dead on the same day. An intern journalist intends to write an article on traffic rule breakers, but gets dragged into a whirlpool of murder cases and deception. The police department overlooks many shocking facts and closes the cases by calling them suicides. However, one of the cops accompanies the lady journalist to find out the mystery behind the deaths. The writing is not fully convincing at all, but it does keep you hooked for 2 hours. The screenplay is slow in the first half but gathers the lost momentum in the second half. When you think that the entire thing is becoming too predictable, you suddenly hit a new twist at the end. Even that turn is a bit problematic, but somewhat enjoyable. Shraddha Srinath carries the entire film on her shoulder, but I don't know why she looked nervous and uncomfortable on a few occasions. The rest of the cast has hardly done anything that can be noticed in terms of acting. Pawan Kumar keeps the film relatable throughout, but loses the tempo in the last 10 minutes. The supernatural stuff takes over, more than what was needed. Nevertheless, U Turn still works for genre lovers, while others can pass by without saying hello.
RATING - 6.5/10*

8/10..Thanks Pawan Kumar for bringing the much-needed road-safety message hard-hittingly and convincingly in a very innovative way from your movie 'U-Turn'. Being a Kannadiga, I am ashamed to say that when driving on roads and following traffic rules, Bengalureans behavior is most inhumane, indiscipline, inconsiderate and insensitively rash especially bikers then cabs, small trucks, buses...And this rhetoric is coming from who have experience living in top metro cities across world. Even the most populated and impoverished Mexico City drivers follow traffic rules at their best. Looking at Bengaluru mad and chaotic traffic, it is hard to defend foreigners calling India a shxtty hole. It is shocking that India renews its Guinness records for having most number of road accidents and deaths in world every year. About 15 lakhs Indians have died in last 10 years and in Bengaluru alone, I believe 10-20 people die every day, mostly bikers again. Bengaluru 'Adjust Madi' attitude on roads is wiping out people mainly youth.
About 'U-Turn' movie qualities, it is good but not up to expectations of 'RangiTaranga', 'KendaSampige' or even Pawan Kumar's own 'Lucia'.
Pros -
1. Good road-safety message delivered to society especially the much needed one for Bengalureans.
2. Innovative storytelling with good thrilling elements.
3. Technically decent - sleek direction, good screenplay, decent background score and editing.
4. I personally felt the climax is good, contrary to popular verdict, as I have experienced and heard about similar paranormal happenings in life.
Cons -
1. Movie felt predictable with mystery elements given away with unnecessary special effects before murders.
2. Protagonist actress Shraddha's Kannada pronunciation was not up to mark. Her expressions felt similar in most scenes lacking shades and micro-expressions.
3. Acting by most actors felt flat and routine even in some intense scenes e.g. post jeep and jail murders the actors expressions lacked intensity , fear and depth.
4. Over usage of Kanglish (Kannada with English) in conversations and impractical American words (viz. Homicide for Murder, Cheque for Bill) in Indian culture should have been avoided.
5. Some scenes were not convincing e.g. a beggar residing on flyover and that too watching over people whole time looks filmy.
6. Movie felt hastily shot with minimal budget with sincerity lacking in some places.
7. Inclusion of few preachy scenes on traffic safety would have been good.
Despite the flaws, 'U-Turn' should be watched by everyone for its innovative storytelling and convincing social message on road safety.

This is one of the best entertainers I've come across in this genre.You really are missing out on a gem if you miss this one,I can give you that.Skillfully narrated with excellent cinematography complementing it.No junk anywhere. It has been successful in preserving the audience's attention and interest till the very end.People who do not fancy the idea of existence of supernatural force might find very few parts of the movie irksome.What is more commendable is how the director has tapped into new talent.The impeccable quality simply reflects on the efforts gone into its making. This movie will certainly garner more appraisals.To sum it all up, a highly recommended thriller you can't afford to miss.
