U Turn 2016 Indian mystery film review
Rachana is an intern with The Indian Express newspaper. She follows a story about the Bangalore flyover, where accidents are taking place, all of them caused by drivers who, in order to avoid traffic, remove small blocks that are separating lanes, make a quick U turn and do not place the blocks back in their place. To get stories from the other side, she pays a homeless man, who usually seats close to the place where accidents take place, he writes down registration numbers of those who violate the law. With this list, Rachana asks a favour from someone within the traffic department and receives the addresses of the culprits. She plans to visit those people at home and interview them, but while she visits the first address, the man she is looking for is away, so Rachana plans to return there later. At the same time, she tries to attract the attention of handsome crime reporter Aditya, working in the Express. In the evening, the police arrives at Rachana’s home to arrest her. As she is told, the man she was trying to contact during the day was found dead, probably committed suicide, so police want to interrogate her. Despite the doubts of his superiors, sub-inspector Nayak believes Rachana that she was there to interview the man, but soon she makes a surprising discover - all the people she had on the list of homeless man actually committed suicide recently.
Indian mystery film that shows a story on a verge of detective work and supernatural mysteries that is perhaps not a blockbuster level of entertainment, but still not bad. In some parts the story lacks pace, there are elements that did not really work, but overall, it is a decent production with rather original narration and decent elements of mystery.
