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.

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.
