Rahul Ravindran has also done his part neatly.
Director Pawan Kumar’s writing stands out, the suspense factor tightly holds the viewers till the end. Dialogues are sharp and deliver the intentions of all the characters correctly. The screenplay is gripping as the murder mystery element upbeats the experience, the flow is fine on the whole and there are only very few dull moments.
U Turn has a crisp runtime as it doesn’t involve any songs. With the given space, musician Poorna Chandra Tejaswi has done a decent job with the background score. Impressive cinematography by Niketh Bommireddy clear cut edits by Suresh Arumugam adds strength to the screenplay.
Initial love portion between Samantha and Rahul Ravindran delays the kickoff. The story has numerous twists and turns that might surprise you but remains predictable at some moments. Samantha’s U Turn deals with what seems to be a minor indifference that could be fatal.
Verdict: An engaging U Turn that you should not miss!
