Director: Pawan Kumar
Cast: Shraddha Srinath, Dilip Raj, Roger Narayan, Radhika Chethan and Skanda Ashok

 

Director Pawan Kumar is known for making films with a unique plot and this time he has selected a thriller story which takes place on Double Road flyover in Bangalore. Armed with a brilliant script, Pawan narrates the story crisply without a song that keeps you at the edge of your seat.
 

The film revolves around Rachana (Shraddha Srinath), an intern who works for a newspaper and wants to write about the scooterists who remove concrete blocks on the flyover to take a U turn. She works hard on getting the scooter numbers but her enthusiasm to write the story puts her in trouble when she finds out that the scooterist whom she wanted to interview is found dead in her house. When she’s interrogated by the police officers she’s shocked to know that 10 people who have take a U-turn on the flyover are found dead and she has the numbers of all of them. The reporter, who wants to write the story about law offenders, faces murder charge. How the murder case is solved forms the crux of the story.

The murder mystery is handled well by the director. Shraddha Srinath with her dialogue delivery and body language in her first Kannada movie is excellent. Roger Narayan as police officer is a perfect choice for the role. Poornachandra Tejaswi’s background score is an added bonus. Cinematography by Sathya Hegde and Advaith and Siddharth is amazing.
