U Turn (2018 film)

U Turn is a 2018 Indian supernatural mystery thriller film written and directed by Pawan Kumar.

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

A homeless man on the flyover records the vehicle numbers of those violating this rule and gives the list to Rachana.

She uses her contacts in the traffic department to obtain the culprits' details, intending to confront them and write an article.

Finding nothing suspicious, they leave, only to witness the lawyer's suicide as he jumps off his balcony and lands on their car.

She also reports two young men violating the U-turn to Nayak, who initially dismisses the idea that they would die.

Rachana interviews Ritesh, who recounts the tragic deaths of his wife Maya and daughter Arna in an accident on the flyover caused by the moved concrete blocks.

Rachana writes the culprit's phone number and address on a balloon and leaves it on the flyover for Maya to find.

He attempts to commit suicide, but Maya's ghost intervenes, telling him his punishment is to live in this world without them.

Directed by Krishna Marimuthu, with cinematography handled by Niketh Bommireddy, the video features Samantha and Anirudh dancing.
