'Accident on Hill Road' is a 2009 Bollywood film, directed by Mahesh Nair and produced by Nari Hira, starring Farooq Sheikh, Abhimanyu Singh, Celina Jaitly. The film is an authorised remake of the 2007 American film 'Stuck', which is based on the true story of Chante Mallard and her murder of Gregory Glenn Biggs.
Plot
Sonam (Celina Jaitly) is approved for a job in London for which she has to go for VISA checks. She drinks too much alcohol at a party and then drives the car herself despite warnings by her friends. She subsequently runs over a man named Prakash (Farooq Sheikh) on her way home from the party that night. She tries to drive the car to her parking lot secretly and searches for help. She cannot afford to go to the police because it can lead to strict punishment for 'drinking and driving' and her VISA could be cancelled. Thus, she keeps Prakash in the parking lot. With all these problems, she is late arriving the next day to the hospital in which she works.
Without any other options, she takes the help of her drug dealer boyfriend Sid (Abhimanyu Singh). Sid consoles her and they have sex. The next day, they both plan to just kill Prakash and dump him. However, as soon as Sid begins to execute the plan, it goes in an unexpected direction. Prakash kills Sid when Sid tries to do the deed. Now Sonam finds out that Prakash is alive and Sid is dead. To avoid a police case or any other trouble, she plans to kill him at any cost. But Prakash somehow dodges her and tries to escape the parking garage. While making this attempt, Sonam hits him in his head and almost kills him. She pulls him back to the garage and pours diesel all over the garage and tries to burn it. 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, and some people spot him and rescue him.
