Uru is a 2017 Indian Tamil-language thriller film directed by Vicky Anand and starring Dhansika, Mime Gopi, and Jayabalan in lead roles. The film was produced by V.P. Viji under Vaiyam Medias banner. The story revolves around Jaya (Dhansika), an aspiring writer who works for a newspaper. Jaya wants to write a book, but she is unable to find a topic that will help her break out in the industry. She thinks that a murder mystery would be the perfect subject for her book, but she needed a gripping story that will captivate her readers. In her quest for a story, she comes across a video clip of a mysterious woman being held captive in a room. Intrigued by what she sees, she begins to investigate the disappearance of the woman, and her investigation leads her to a horror-filled mystery.

Dhansika, who essayed the role of Jaya, did a commendable job in her role. She effortlessly portrayed the character of Jaya, a woman who is determined to uncover the truth about the missing woman, and she also did justice to her character's emotional moments.

Mime Gopi, who is known for his negative roles, played an important role in the movie. However, his character could have been developed better as it lacked proper development.

Jayabalan, who is regarded as one of the finest actors in Tamil cinema, portrayed a critical role in the film. His portrayal of a mysterious and eccentric character added to the overall tension of the movie. The supporting cast also played their roles to perfection, elevating the overall impact of the film.

The cinematography was decent, with the camera angles capturing the eerie ambient in the movie aptly. The music and background score by Johan Shevanesh were also well appreciated for elevating the movie's thrilling vibe.

The screenplay by Vicky Anand was engaging, keeping the audience hooked till the end. The first half of the movie builds a promising story, but the second half falters a bit, and the climax could have been executed better.

One of the highlights of the movie was the suspenseful ambiance that engulfed the film. The film's backdrop added to the tension, and the editing and cinematography were commendable, heightening the horror factor.

Overall, Uru was a decent attempt in the thriller/mystery genre, and one can watch it for the thrilling ambiance and Dhansika's performance. The movie comes with a message about the dangers of seeking instant gratification in our lives, which is conveyed efficiently without being preachy.

In conclusion, Uru is a film that comes with a promising storyline, a talented cast, and an eerie set-up that sticks to its promise of keeping you at the edge of your seat. Despite its shortcomings, Uru is a movie worth watching for its impressive plot, engaging screenplay, and Dhansika's commendable performance.
