When Manohar (Neetu Chandra) moves into 13B, he notices a bunch of quirks in his building, like the lift operating for others but not him. The strangest thing of all is a TV show, "Yavarum Nalam," that reflects what is happening in Manohar's own life -- like his wife (R. Madhavan) miscarrying. As he researches the past tenants of 13B with the help of a cop friend, he learns of his apartment's disturbing, murderous history. He also uncovers what his own role in the apartment's future might be.

13 B scores in keeping it slick and suspenseful, and almost-fresh.

New York Press

There's a disarmingly benign, albeit decidedly precious, charm to the film.

New York Times

Despite its near-total absence of subtlety, bloated running time and, yes, even the inclusion of a couple of out-of-place musical sequences -- does manage to change to a relatively new channel.

Rated: 2.5/5

Deteriorates into an ear-shattering scream fest... falls back on weary clichés in the climax.

Miss FlickChick

A rare example of a flat-out Indian horror movie [that] borrows liberally from The Amityville Horror playbook and familiar Asian horror tropes, but the haunted soap opera is a new wrinkle.

Film Journal International

J-horror-styled supernatural thriller from India doesn't have the gore or intensity of the real thing, and for many in the mainstream, that's a relief. Low-budget-looking but effective, with a great central gimmick.

Pretty scary. A few out of place musical numbers and a way too happy ending keep this from being perfect horror.
