null
It’s not easy making films.Telling a story convincingly and interestingly is a job that some directors manage with ease, and others don’t.First-time director Mahesh Nair falls into the latter category. His film Accident On Hill Road is a terrible excuse for a film.It makes you wonder what he was thinking while making it.He calls the film a thriller but really, there are no thrills in this Celina Jaitley-starrer.

Cast: Celina Jaitley, Farooque Shaikh, Abhimanyu Singh
