Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Micransix Crappy film

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

kenny-boy5 Can't for the life of me figure out why the language is 90% Indian and then you hear English words in it like 'Thank You' or 'Complicated' or once in a while its a little sentence in English. If you're gonna do it in one language then do it. Does have a kind of cheesy plot. Subtitles would have been great. Just throwing this out there for the Canucks that want to download this and watch because it has a good rating. I guess I need to have 10 lines of text so I'm going to write a lot about nothing in order for this post to post. Giggity giggity goo. Oh I need 2 more lines so please ignore these last 5 lines as I get ready to post this stuff.KB

colour-me-kubrick I never thought I would see a good old horror flick in India which would spook and tickle me. Well 13B does exactly that and much more. With a tongue in cheek concept like the Romero's "Dawn of the Dead" which was based on the isolated nature of the modern society, this is a take on the "soap opera" obsessed Indian diaspora especially the women who practically live in these manipulative stories which last for ages and manage to bitch and gossip about them.In today's world, the major source of relief, information and entertainment is the TV. So much so, that it has moved up from its modest position of being just another 'household appliance' to actually determining the power equation in a family. It is easy to identify the hierarchy in the family depending on who controls the remote control. So what happens when the TV realizes this power and begins to take control? What happens when instead of showing you the facts, the TV, begins to show you what it wants you to see? What happens when Manohar, to his great horror, realizes that this is exactly what is happening with his wonderful family, who has just moved into their sweet new home at 13B.The plot unfolds as the main protagonist (Madhavan) begins to learn the "secrets" of the house and dwells into areas you cannot foresee. It is a breadth of fresh air in Indian Cinema where in general you can preempt whole movie down after one or two scenes. Not this one, you are left completely at the mercy of the makers. The performances in general are efficient and honest making the plot more believable especially by Madhavan. The key to the brilliance of the movie is that the director Vikram Kumar only takes it seriously enough without going overboard. It is intended to be a fun ride for the audience, yet not disconnecting them from the subject and the possibility of the story. It is a tough balance. The movie retains its satirical tone in the first half but then gradually changes colors.There are flaws in the film which prevent it from achieving the supreme quality and scope that the script carries. One, the camera at times is unnecessarily shaky. Most Indian filmmakers have the obsession with the tacky and overly slick camera-work and over emphasis on background score but it really hurts the storytelling, especially in a movie like this where the impact moments get somewhat diluted. Second, the climax could have had a better resolution. It was good, no doubt but the build up was so impressive that anything less than brilliant would fall short. Thirdly, some of the performances were too loud to my liking.All in all, it was sheer pleasure watching a movie like this in India which did not spoon feed the audience, which worked on different levels and which was a rollicking fun ride. I am not surprised at the news that the film will be adapted in Hollywood. It is a universal subject and I am sure it will be executed with greater finesse.

drkadir Good and unique scenario, but not unaccustomed to Indian acting. On the whole, 13B is interesting in parts, not in entirety. Also, as mentioned earlier, films of this genre, the world over, have a shorter duration [1.30 hours or 1.45 hours] and the approx. 2.28 hours' running time would test the patience of the viewer. At the box-office, with cricket matches on one hand and examinations on the other proving major oppositions, this scary movie would prove to be a scary proposition for its investors. The problem is, 13B takes its own sweet time to come to the point. Besides, you can't help notice the blemishes in the screenplay. What eventually comes across is a film that had the stamina to win the marathon, but which runs out of breath and starts huffing and puffing midway. If you have time, I recommend you to watch this movie. Just be patient!!!

bekarthieee This is a very good thriller and must watch one for cold blooded thriller fans. P.C.Sriram plays a vital role in the movie. His camera work is extraordinary frankly to say he deserve Oscar for Cinematography for this film.I can't believe it is Vikram K Kumar's First Film.His Directing style is very good.Maddy did a nice job and all other actors also did a good job.If you want to Feel the Fear means watch it in Theater don't watch in CD's. First of all thanks to the production team for giving us such a different thriller in Tamil.Little mistakes are there but i won't mention it because your work is really fantastic. A Must Watch Thriller Film with FAMILY.
