Illustrations by Maddie Fischer.As the vaporetto pulled out of San Marco and veered east toward the Lido, I decided I’d kick off my tenth trip to the Venice Film Festival doing something I’d never done before: visit its Extended Reality section. Tucked away on a little island that once served as a leper colony, Venice Immersive is home to dozens of VR projects slotted in competitive and non-competitive programs every year. I had no idea what to expect from this edition, though a cursory glance at the menu suggested a motif. Aside from titles that vowed to explore new formats and ideas around spectatorship, there were several that felt true to our era of anxious, restless doomscrolling. Catastrophes, tragedies, and crises were at the cornerstone of the handful of works I saw, including Asio Chihsiung Liu and Feng Ting Tsou’s Somewhere Unknown in Indochina, a study...

Bad Cop episode 7 ended with Raghav’s death. Bala had killed the rage-filled and arrogant nephew of Kazbe, but he blamed the murder on Karan in the hope of creating a clash between the police officer and the gangster. Arif Khan was also ordered to not make all the arrests at once to avoid making it a big mess. Since episode 8 was the final episode of Bad Cop season 1, there were a lot of loose ends to tie up as Arjun’s identity was very close to being exposed.

Bad Cop episode 6 ended with Cib officer Arif Khan and his team finally gaining access to the hard disk that belonged to the slain journalist Anand Mishra. It included details of the people who were involved in the illegal ivory trade. Anand Mishra had saved a video he recorded which revealed inspector Karan Naik, his colleague Rahil, their seniors at the force, and the Mla were protecting Kazbe as he was instrumental in the slaughter of elephants and the ivory trade. Arif was now aware Karan was the bad cop, and he wondered if he had misled him by offering the sketch of the man who killed Anand Mishra. Unbeknownst to anyone except Arjun, Karan was dead. It looks like Arjun’s headed into deep trouble, as a lot of secrets will be uncovered, including his taking over the identity of his dead twin brother.

Why did Arjun meet Kazbe?...

Episode five of Bad Cop ended with Cib officer Arif Khan and his team coming across a phone call, which everyone assumed was between Karan and Arjun. Arjun was sure his home was bugged, which was why they were able to track Kiki and chase her until she escaped following Arjun’s orders.

What did Arjun offer to Arif Khan?

Arif Khan followed the recording he heard and headed to the place mentioned in it in the hope of arresting Karan and Arjun. Arjun was at the spot, posing as Karan, waiting for them.

Arif assumed it was Karan who was trying to save his brother and was not willing to trust him. Arjun conveyed that he knew...

Episode four of Bad Cop ends with Arjun describing the killer to the police-appointed sketch artist. It is surprising to know Arjun only got a glimpse of the killer and was able to describe the man. Arjun was also afraid Arif would catch up with him and his identity would be exposed.

Arjun had the suspected killer sketched as a ploy to get himself out of the case before Arif Khan of Cib caught up to him. He asked his subordinate to run the sketch through their database to find out who the man could be. He also asked him to send the sketch to all the police stations around them to get to the bottom of this.

Bad Cop episode 3 ended with Arjun chasing Raghav in the hope that he would eventually catch him. Raghav had previously attacked Arjun, assuming he was his brother Karan. Now because of this confusion, Arjun was aware Raghav, and his boss Kasbe were responsible for his brother’s death, but he needed more information about their motive. At the end of the chase, Raghav pointed a gun at Arjun, a gunshot was heard before the episode faded out.

Why was Kasbe angry?

Raghav was Kasbe’s nephew and the right hand man, and the don was angry at the fact that he was arrested by the police. Kasbe was visited by his sister, who was Raghav’s mother. She was terrified of losing her son to prison time and was under the impression Kasbe could help him get a bail. Kasbe had a complex relationship with his sister, but...

The second episode of Bad Cop ended with Arjun deciding to find out who Kasbe was and why he’d killed his brother.

He was back to discover that Arif Khan from Cbi was on their doorstep.

Crime thrillers are only fun to watch if the story is presented interestingly. U Turn happens to be a story based in the same genre, but we can’t guarantee the viewer will find it interesting because it felt like the makers steered away from the logic part of it and drove straight into a story that required plenty of suspension of disbelief and presented a commercial film that does not cater to the masses as well. Directed by Arif Khan, the movie is about people who take an illegal U-turn from a bridge, and they end up dead mysteriously. Who is behind this crime, and why are they committing this heinous killing?

The movie begins with a man driving along the Ntpc flyover in Chandigarh when he is asked to come back to a certain place by the caller on his phone.

When it comes to serial killer crime stories, it is always best to stick to the guidelines, which are to make them feel as real as possible; the technical aspects should be tight enough, and the lead-up to the climax should be interesting. There has to be a layer of complexity as well, which will make any form of cinema in this genre an interesting watch. What if you come across a film that does not live up to any of the expectations above? U Turn, directed by Arif Khan, is a Zee5 Original that was released on the platform on April 28, 2023, and the movie is all about road accidents. What the makers did not realize was that the movie might have been an accident itself, where everything related to it just stumbled, crumbled, and fell apart.
