The film's story, in its insistence on keeping the focus on the leading lady, makes everyone else’s arcs sub-par. This results in a film unable to keep a hold on the viewer.

In the name of making the climax logical and believable, U-Turn takes a complete detour, making it yet another thriller filled with ‘been there, seen that’ elements.

Overall, this mystery thriller that deals with the consequences of traffic violations adds a topical and relevant element to the story while also acting as a useful reminder to always follow the rules of the road for your own and others' safety.

There’s a twist you won't see coming, but by that time, the remake has missed the bus. It fails to reach its destination; maybe it took that very U-Turn that made the makers make this film.
