U-Turn Story and Plot
The main story of the movie revolved around a bridge where motorists moved concrete blocks of the divider to take a u-turn, which was causing frequent road accidents over there. A young journalist, Radhika Bakshi, investigates the traffic violation case, and then she finds out that whoever moved the blocks on the bridge died in a mysterious way.
This led her to work with the police, who later held Radhika responsible for all the deaths. It will be interesting to watch if Radhika ever uncovers the truth behind all the mysterious deaths or if there are some supernatural powers that are responsible.
