The good thing about "Accident On Hill Road" is the direction. Yes and due credit is deserved for Mahesh Nair who manages to hold reigns even though plot is wafer-thin. If he had a good subject material indeed he has potential to pull-off a spectacular feat. If not anything, the least this movie could do is to get this director noticed and hopefully good projects would land into his lap.
The downside as already mentioned is the plot. Add to that the oscillation of construction of the screen between comical and pity. Right from the start if it was portrayed as comical the same would have turned into a good popcorn flick catering solely to the teenage multiplex crowd (a la "I Know What You Did Last Summer" or "Scary Movie" series types).
It no rocket science to discover that Celina Jaitley is a big downer. And so is Abhimanyu Singh. I was expecting more footage for Manmeet Singh. The saving grace is indeed Farooq Shaikh who convincingly pulls- off "never say die" attitude.
Moral of the movie: As you sow, so shall you reap
