    Good thriller

    So the beginning of the movie was promising and i was excited to know what happens further on. But somewhere in the middle it was clear that there will be some supernatural powers involved and the plot became predictable. Still there were some twists in the end but they didnt add much tension to the film, mabye the one at the end, which was inspired by a real incident. It was a certainly a decent movie, not perfect, the acting was really good and the camera technique also executed well. For a movie evening with friends or Family this movie is def. a good choice. Between Stuttgart is not nice ;)

    A beautifully woven thriller revolving around an incident on a flyover

    This is one of the best entertainers I've come across in this genre.You really are missing out on a gem if you miss this one,I can give you that.Skillfully narrated with excellent cinematography complementing it.No junk anywhere. It has been successful in preserving the audience's attention and interest till the very end.People who do not fancy the idea of existence of supernatural force might find very few parts of the movie irksome.What is more commendable is how the director has tapped into new talent.The impeccable quality simply reflects on the efforts gone into its making. This movie will certainly garner more appraisals.To sum it all up, a highly recommended thriller you can't afford to miss.

    A rare gem among Kannada movies

    Good Kannada movies are hard to come by. This one alone can move the needle quite a bit to the high side.

    I will not reveal plots. Except for some shaky scripting in the last few minutes, the movie is remarkably watchable.

    Brilliant Mystery thriller and one of the best movie's of 2016

    "It may not be the best from Pawan(director of lucia) but his making style is really good and message was rightly portrayed which makes it a good horror mystery thriller film with social message.'U-Turn' should be watched by everyone for its innovative storytelling and convincing social message on road safety"

    Positives- 1.)Direction and script- Pawan who earlier directed lucia was excellent movie which i rated 5 out of 5 but if i compare with this film then it may not be that great. He was trying to add horror thriller to a social message driven film which may have its flaws but he did a different attempt and i must appreciate him for that. Script was engaging along with direction.

    2.)Shradda srinath , roger narayan and dilip raj- These 3 actors portrayed their roles properly and out of them shradda was outstanding and she was able to bring out those emotions perfectly without any flaws. Roger narayan as inspector was right choice by director. Dilip raj was fine.

    3.)cinematography and edits 4.)Bg score 5.)Message about road safety was rightly conveyed.

    Negatives- 1.)Cliches in second half - First half went with introduction of characters and that was fine. But second half the director's vision of portraying certain elements had flaws and it disturbed the experience. Director could have taken care of that to avoid this type of mistakes.

    2.)Predictability- Because of certain cliché'd scenes it was predictable for audience which spoiled the experience of mystery thriller.

    Is it a must watch? Yes it is a must watch film and it has a great social message. It is a innovative movie on road safety.

    Overall- Despite flaws Its a good film if you check the overall aspect. It could have been better if director had rechecked some scenes to avoid some errors. But its fine if you not go with high expectations. It tells about the mysterious events that occur on the double road flyover with great social message added to it. I recommend you to watch it but without much expectations.

    My rating- 4/5(Brilliant Mystery Thriller and one of the best movie's of 2016)
