U Turn

The Screenplay of this Suspense Thriller is Taut and the pacing of the Narration is concise - which will hold your attention till the end. The revealing of the secrets behind the main plot is done smoothly and appealingly!

Loved the Background Music which enhances the Suspense and Thrill in every scene!

No unnecessary sub-plots!

No unnecessary songs (sung by actors, that is)!

No boring moments!

Those here criticising the Maa-Beti Sex talk as against so-called Indian Culture are Sexually Repressed, Prudish hypocrites!

PS: This is not a Supernatural Thriller (as mentioned in Wiki)! But there are some "Ghosts" though! Go and see for yourself! LOL!

U Turn is a multiple times remade film with now being Bollywood's turn to remake it after 2018 Samantha's remake. The original came out in 2016.

I didn't understand why this film was remade so many times ? Is the original material way better than what i watched? Does it have better covering of suspense? Could be...need to watch the original to confirm but the Hindi remake version of U Turn was super super super predictable from almost a light years away from the climax. Just 25 mins into the film i could say how people who violated the U Turn rule got killed . In fact i could even predict who the culprit was after the jail killing sequence.

In between the film desperately tries to infuse some horror elements to try divert you from what you predicted but knowing that this is not a horror suspense, such an attempt is futile and that i already knew there would be an explanation in the climax as to how the paranormal stuff was happening with the rule violators .

The only suspense which i felt was hidden well was who actually created that one accident which is shown right at the start. It's only revealed at the very end but that too is revealed in a very unconvincing way like as if it was just appended to the end without any effort .

Everyone is wasted here . Good talents like Priyanshu and Aleya all are wasted although I would say Priyanshu did look good in some parts. The film could have been better if there was some emotional angle developed between the culprit and their deceased family .

Luckily there are no songs and the film is not very long but knowing the facts from far off, you just wish the end come faster .

Overall, it's a predictable film that suspense thriller lovers will definitely not like.

It make no sense at all, one moment it tries to portray things to be paranormal by showing things happening behind ghostly logic, and 2nd it tries to portray things to be well planned conspiracy of a mastermind, this movie is one of those few clueless low budget Hollywood murder mystery where just before the movie end the plot logic reveals and uncover the random plannings of a mastermind who was working not from the shadows but while staying near you, it's an extremely shallow way of fooling the audience into thinking the movie was mind boggling but actually it's totally the opposite if you reconsider into details.

I really enjoyed this. Alaya is definitely the best out of her gen's nepo lot and she is only growing from strength to strength as an actress. Aashim does not have much to do so I don't think it would be fair to assess him. I am guessing that his role was trimmed down significantly during the editing process; I expected a bit more importance from his character. The actor who played Dillon's role ( Manu Rishi) was fantastic. This is the first movie i have seen him in and will definitely keep an out for him future. He completely nailed his role - there was so much for him to accomplish in such a short span of time within the movie and he completely nailed it.

Film Review : U Turn streaming on Zee 5 #sanjuzzreviews #UTurnOnZEE5 #UTurn #ZEE5 #AlayaF A remake of the 2016 Kannada film, U Turn is a suspense, horror, thriller film which will definitely appeal to fans of this genre if u haven't watched the original.

Starring Alaya F as an investigative journalist probing into mysterious deaths happening due to commuters taking an illegal U-Turn on a particular flyover. All deaths are deemed as suicides by police but our protagonist isn't convinced & suspects either foul play or some paranormal force's behind them. To find out the truth, she herself breaks the rules and takes a U Turn on the ill-fated flyover. Will she uncover the truth behind the unnatural deaths or become a victim herself is what this film is all about. Won't disclose any further as it would spoil the fun 🙂

Alaya F as the protagonist is awesome, an actress with great potential . With meaningful roles like these she could really make it amongst the A-listers for sure. Rest of the cast Priyanshu Painyuli as her cop friend, Manu Rishi Chaddha and Rajesh Sharma have given decent performances.

Well directed by Arif Khan , U-turn has a lot of jump scare moments which will keep you guessing till the end. The climax too has been well showcased without going over the top.

I liked the film .. definitely worth a watch !!

Going with 3/5 for this one .. adios🙂!!
