Review of 13B

Star cast of 13B: R Madhavan, Neetu Chandra, Sachin Khedekar, Murli Sharma, Poonam Dhillon, Deepak Dobriyal, Dhritiman Chatterjee, Sanjaih Bokaria

In the movie there are ghosts but for me the movie is not scary. The movie has been put up in a category of horror but for me the movie is a suspense thriller. A completely new and different concept is the catch of the movie. There are no ugly faces or brutal killing shown in the movie.

Humans have advanced technically so have the ghosts. Communication through letters has advanced to e-mail. Landline telephones have been replaced by mobiles. So has the way ghosts make contacts with real world has been advanced. In the movie the ghosts make contact with the real world through television.

Today's world has become so addictive to television that it has become a part of life. But imagine whatever is being shown in the TV starts happening with you - be it a good thing or a bad thing. Something like this happens with Madhvan and his family. There is a TV serial 'Sab Khariyat Hai' shown in the movie. Whatever is shown in the serial happens with Madhvan's family.

The first thing will come in mind why is it happening with their family. By the time this suspense is revealed you will have something more to think about. The question would be who killed those innocent people and why have they been killed. In the 2 hours the way the suspense has been created till the end is really interesting.

There is a scene where Madhvan has invited a blind man to his house. When his glass falls down and his eyes are shown is really scary. Except for the 2 songs in the movie one will be completely engrossed in the movie. But its a Bollywood movie and without songs a Bollywood movie is incomplete.

Number 13 still continues to be used as an unlucky number. But personally I dont know which number is lucky or unlucky for me. I am not giving the story because the movie should be watched atleast once. Also I dont want to break the suspense. :-)

My Rating: 3.5/5

Few questions to be answered by you people:

Do you believe in ghosts? If yes, any scary experience? If no, then why not? If yes and never met then how do you plan to meet the ghost in the modern time?
