Review
  • Director
Pawan Kumar has served a treat to the thriller loving audience.
How did this concept come to his mind?
Brilliant story by the way and an additional advantage is that he has produced the movie too.
The screenplay is so gripping and it brings us to the edge of our seats.
The first few minutes were slow and then the film accelerates in top gear.
Pawan Kumar proved again that good films can be made at low cost.
  • Cinematography
The title card was very strange and the frame takes an U Turn at the beginning of the film itself.
The camera was straight forward on its move and the camera angles were perfectly placed.
Each and every murder scenes were horrifying and tickled the adrenaline instantly.
  • Editing
The suspense sequences were revealed one after the other sequentially, that relaxed the shrunken eyebrows of the audience then and there.
  • Music
The Music director easily adapted to the screenplay and done his job without any flaws.
The horror tunes raised up the heart beats at many occasions.
The Sound mixing team came up with some terrific fade in and fade out musical notes.
  • Actors
Samantha's look and her expressions were so apt for her character.
Aadhi donned the role of cop perfectly and it suits him.
Bhumika's role was too short, yet she did it without any compromises.
The other supporting characters are Narain, Rahul, Naren, the little girl, the old man in the bridge, and the victims.
The naming of the characters should have taken some time of director, when he penned the script.
  • Things to note
The director has used the color red in almost every scenes through vehicles, costumes, lighting, etc.
Like Final destination series, every victim visualizes a symbol before their death (it's an U sign).
In some scenes, the characters take U Turns while they move or walk.

Definitely, U Turn will be remembered as one of the finest horror-thrillers in the Indian film industry.


Blurb: Beware! Never take a U Turn anywhere in your life!!!
