13B

Do you believe in spirits? If not, 13B would try to make you believe in them. 13B, a Bollywood flick is directed and written by Vikram Kumar, belongs to the same family as The Ring and Pulse. No, it's not a copy of these two films, but a home appliance is used by the spirits to convey their message.

13B

13B moves around you in the proceedings and most essential part is that it scares you as well. 13B is stretched and takes its own time to come to the point.

Manohar the character played by R. Madhavan, is an upwardly mobile middle class Indian, moves into a new apartment '13B' on the 13th floor with his family. From the very first day in their new home, strange things starts happening in the family.

Director of the film has executed the material well. Dialogues are pedestrian. Music from Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy is more of an intrusion. R.Madhavan does a commendable job. Neetu Chandra is alright. Poonam Dhillon is just okay. Sachin Khedekar is wasted. Dhrtiman Chatterjee, is first-rate.

On the whole, 13B is interesting in some parts only. At the box-office the film proved to be a scary proposition for its investors.
