Accident on Hill Road

Submit

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

Accident on Hill Road Sonam accidentally steers her car into the harmless Prakash Shrivastava, movingly played by Farooque Shaikh, sending him flying through the windshield. Not wanting to jeopardize 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.

It Test Your Endurance

Friday, January 01, 2010

The film's far-fetched premise involves Celina Jaitley as a dim-witted hospital nurse who doesn't know what to do when she accidentally knocks down a man with her car, and he's injured and stuck in her shattered windscreen. She leaves him in her garage, his rear end sticking out of her glass. She whacks him with a cricket bat. She has him tied up, and more or less choked in a plastic bag. She even douses him with petrol. The victim, a true braveheart (played by Farooque Shaikh), miraculously survives this treatment. Meanwhile, Gulal's Abhimanyu Singh plays Celina's sleazy, drug-dealer boyfriend who shows up to help her with her little problem.

The film's convenient screenplay never allows you to empathise with either the victim or the guilty although you know that both are desperate and in great pain over their respective situations. The performances are embarrassingly over-the-top, even as Celina turns convulsing into a new acting style, and Abhimanyu mutilates the English dialogue with his stilted delivery. Your heart goes out to poor Farooque Shaikh who spends the most part of the film with his bum sticking out into the air. If it wasn't so unintentionally comical, this film would be a test of your endurance.
