Plus Points:

  • Samantha’s performance
  • Aadhi Pinisetty
  • Story
  • Interval episode
  • Suspense

 Minus Points:

  • Samantha’s dubbing

Performance:  Once again Samantha Akkineni has proved with her performance that she is a versatile actress. She is good as a journalist. Samantha steals the show and she carries the entire movie on her shoulder but her dubbing disappoints the audience. Bhumika Chawla, who appears in a cameo, too essays her bit with fealty. Aadhi Pinisetty’s performance also needs lot of applause.  Rest of the cast performed accordingly.

 Technical: The story of U Turn is very interesting. Pawan Kumar handled the story and scenes very well. The dialogues are superb and the screenplay of the film is interesting.   Background score is noteworthy. Cinematography by  Niketh Bommireddy is superb and the movie has some fantastic visuals.  The Editing by Suresh Armugam is good but some scenes in the second half could have been trimmed. Art department has done a superb job. The production values are good. The U Turn is at his best in technical department. One of major drawback of the film is Samantha’s dubbing.

 Analysis: There is a supernatural element to the story and Pawan Kumar gives the hints right from the first frame as to how things will pan out. In the first half, the director keeps the audience hooked to the screen and the heart sinks when the climax is revealed.  U Turn is a film that you can enjoy for its pure entertainment and thrill.
