When she is about to meet them, she gets to know that they are dead mysteriously by committing suicide. SI Nayak (Aadhi Pinisetty) locks her in suspecting her as the reason. Later, he believes her and they both start helping each other in the investigating process. Why are they committing suicide? Is Rachana the reason of their deaths? What is the mystery of RK Puram flyover?

Cast and Performance

Samantha Akkineni is superb in the role of investigative journalist Rachana. She did a great job and she is going great with her work after the marriage. Rahul Raveendran is nice in his limited role in the office of Rachana and also her crush. Aadhi Pinisetty as SI Nayak is great. He is one good actor who is being explored by filmmakers now. Bhumika is the backbone of the story and its narration and she did complete justice. If she had failed in doing justice, this movie would have failed. All other actors did a fine job in their roles.

Writing Departments

The story of U-Turn is thrilling and different from the rest of thrillers. Screenpay is well written without deviating from the point. Dialogues are good.

Technical Departments

The Karma theme composed by Anirudh Ravichander for the promotions of this movie is superb and already is a trending chartbuster. Background score by Poorna Chandra Tejaswi is apt considering the narration of the movie. Cinematography by Niketh Bommireddy is nice and editing is crisp. All departments worked well for this movie. Production values are apt.

Highlights

Samantha Akkineni as Rachana
Story and screenplay

Minus

Serious film without fun elements

Verdict

This movie is a mystery narrated in an investigative way around an U-turn. The point itself is exciting and new from the rest of thrillers. Pawan Kumar who had written and directed U-Turn in Kannada with Shraddha Srinath is also the director of this Telugu version with Samantha Akkineni and he as done a very fine job. If given a chance to any others, they might have spoiled the narration infusing comedy or fun characters, but thankfully he is stuck with his own story and never deviated from it. The sole selling point of this film is Samantha Akkineni and she has given her best and she proved that she can carry the burden of a movie on her shoulders like a hero. She must be applauded for not putting any pressure on director to add any commercial elements. To sum up, U-turn is a one time watchable investigative thriller from Samantha Akkineni.

Both Naga Chaitanya Akkineni and Samantha are coming together on the same day with their own movies. While Samantha is coming up with the film U-Turn, Naga Chaitanya is coming up with Shailaja Reddy Alludu. Both the actors are busy with the promotions of their movies in an aggressive manner.

While Samantha is saying that Naga Chaitanya’s success is her success, Chay has a completely different opinion about their box office battle. Naga Chaitanya asked people to watch his film first.

“Instead of U-Turn, I request everyone to watch my film first. The reason for the same is that this is my first release this year. Samantha already scored blockbusters like Rangasthalam and Mahanati this year. Samantha already watched Sailaja Reddy Alludu and she loved the movie. I am sure that everyone will express the same opinion as Samantha did.” said Naga Chaitanya.
