U-Turn

U-Turn

Rachana, an intern with The Indian Express, is working on an article on the accidents at a flyover in Bengaluru. She also has a crush on the crime reporter Aditya, whose help she seeks for research material on accidents on the flyover. 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 do not move the concrete blocks, which are left lying 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. Her attempt to meet the first person on the list goes in vain. Later the same day, the police take her into custody and accuse her of killing the same person she wanted to meet. She is shocked and tells her side of the story. Though the senior police officer rejects it, sub-inspector Nayak finds her account believable and does some investigation. It is revealed that all the people Rachana has on her list have committed suicide. They also notice that each person committed suicide the same day they took the illegal "u-turn". Rachana and Nayak find another number has been noted by the homeless man which is to be delivered to Rachana the next day.
