Plot

Sonam (Celina Jaitly) is approved for a job in London for which she has to go for VISA checking. She drinks too much alcohol at a party and thus drives the car herself despite the warning by her friend. She runs over a man Prakash (Farooq Sheikh) on her way home from the party that night. She tries to drive the car to her parking secretly and searches for help. But she cannot afford to go to the police because it can lead to strict punishment for 'drink and drive' case and her VISA can be cancelled. Thus she keeps Prakash in the parking. With all these, she gets late the next day for the hospital in which she works.

Without any other option, she takes the help of her drug dealer boyfriend Sid (Abhimanyu Singh). Sid consoles her and they engage in sex. The next day, they both plan to just kill Prakash and dump him. As soon as Sid begins to execute the plan, it goes in an unexpected direction. Prakash kills Sid when Sid tries to do the verse. Now Sonam finds out that Prakash is alive and Sid is dead. To avoid a police case or any other hazard, she plans to kill him at any cost. But Prakash somehow dodges her and tries to escape the parking garage. While this attempt, Sonam hits him in his head and makes him nearly dead. She pulls him back to the garage and pours diesel all over the garage and tries to burn it. But meanwhile, Prakash uses the car and dashes Sonam. He again tries to escape while Sonam begs for help. In anger of helplessness, she shoots at Prakash which burns the whole garage. Sonam dies but Prakash gets out of it where some people spot him and rescue him.

Release

Critical reception

Accident on Hill Road received mostly negative reviews from critics. Rajeev Masand said the film is "unintentionally comical",[2] Taran Adarsh gave it only one star out of five[4] and Nithya Ramani of Rediff called it "a terrible excuse for a film".[5]

gollark: Actually, come to think of it, you would probably need a pretty powerful microcontroller to hold and handle the whole database of time zone insanity.

gollark: An RTG might be better for the whole "overengineering" thing than solar power, but they're pretty hard to get hold of, and it might be a bit heavy.

gollark: Just stick in a GPS receiver - that provides you with both location, obviously, and the super-accurate timing data GPS provides - probably some sort of microcontroller, whatever display you want, rather a lot of battery, and probably a solar panel or something.

gollark: Wouldn't even be too hard.

gollark: You could make a watch work anywhere on the Earth's surface.
