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.

Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express 13 B scores in keeping it slick and suspenseful, and almost-fresh. Apr 26, 2019 Full Review Simon Abrams New York Press There's a disarmingly benign, albeit decidedly precious, charm to the film. Mar 11, 2009 Full Review Laura Kern 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 Mar 6, 2009 Full Review Shashi Baliga Hindustan Times Deteriorates into an ear-shattering scream fest... falls back on weary clichés in the climax. May 31, 2022 Full Review Maitland McDonagh 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. Mar 6, 2009 Full Review Frank Lovece 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. Mar 6, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews
