U Turn is a 2016 Indian Kannada-language supernatural thriller film written, produced and directed by Pawan Kumar.

Roger Narayan, Dileep Raj and Radhika Chetan feature in supporting roles.

The plot revolves around the death of motorists who break a traffic rule at a particular flyover in Bangalore and subsequent pinning down of the culprit by an intern journalist and police inspector duo.

She finds that each day some motorists move the concrete blocks that partition the road just to take a quick U-turn and avoid the traffic.

They don’t move them back and the blocks are left to lie randomly on the road leading to many accidents.

A homeless man sitting on the flyover notes down the vehicle numbers of commuters who violate the rule to take the U-turn and gives the list to Rachana.

She obtains the details of the culprits using her contact in the traffic department, with the intention of confronting them for their "short-cut" and writing an article for the paper.

With no way of finding the real cause of the death of the culprits, Rachana herself takes the wrong u-turn and waits for something to happen.

Devastated, she confronts Aditya and informs him that due to his negligence a mother and daughter lost their lives.

"[18] U-Turn was produced under Pawan Kumar's then newly launched banner PK Studios, has Poornachandra Tejaswi's music, Satya Hegde, Advitha Gurumurthy and Siddharth Nuni's cinematography and Suresh's editing.

"[20] Shyam Prasad S of Bangalore Mirror wrote, "It is what happens post interval that makes or breaks any film.

Here, Pawan Kumar takes the easier route and robs U-Turn of becoming a great film.

U-Turn is a film that constantly challenges and defies categorization in the service of telling its own story.
