Release date: December 31, 2009

“Accident on Hill Road” is a cunning and energetic thriller that takes its premise from the real-life incident of a woman who hit a man, then drove home and parked the car in the garage with the man wedged halfway through her windshield.

Celina Jaitley stars as Sonam Chopra, a hard-partying, overworked nursing assistant in this darkly humorous psychological thriller from director Mahesh Nair.

Sonam accidentally steers her car into the harmless Prakash Shrivastava, movingly played by Farooque Shaikh, sending him flying through the windshield. Not wanting to jeopardise her future, Sonam, along with her drug-peddling boyfriend Sid (Abhimanyu Singh), chooses not to get him medical help, leaving him clinging to life in her garage.

But soon her psyche begins to unravel as captor and captive are pitted against each other in a bloody and outrageous battle for survival.

Be prepared for ingeniously nasty and often shockingly funny entertainment.
