Thriller! Definitely a scarcity of movies belonging to this genre. 13B is a great edge-of-the-seat thriller that keeps you engrossed till to the end.

Everything is great--lighting, sound, etc. The plot is fascinating and the unraveling of the story behind the TV serial's characters is eye-popping! The violent flashbacks and disturbed characters leaves the viewers horrified!

Madhavan, as always, has given a sincere and outstanding performance! Must watch movie!!!!!

A thriller that will keep one glued to the seat all the way through as it revolves around a man who has the ability to see the past and he uses it to help others, even though it can kill him. 

The cinematography and especially the underwater sequence were breath taking and this will make one want to know what is going to happen next. 

The only negative side to this is that sometimes its quite predictable. 

On the whole, it is a movie that is worth watching. Akshay has done a fantastic job!!!

If you missed this movie than you have missed one of the best movie made in Bollywood industry. 

This movie never seems to bore you. I have saw over a hundred times (Really). It's a fascinating movie. The plot was wonderful. The acting was really award winning. Shahrukh Khan is a gem of an actor. Really incredible acting by him. 

The songs were awesome! The music was wow. The direction was cool. A must see for those who adore romantic flicks 

The reason for B+ and not an A, is because there are too many errors and mistakes, that are distractive. 

Rating: PG 13

Aradhana | Movie Review

Synopsis: 

Air Force pilot Arun and the lovely Vandana marry in secret after a brief courtship. But when Arun perishes in a plane crash, the heartbroken and pregnant Vandana must fend for herself and her child. Featuring the tunes "Mere sapno ki rani," "Chanda Hai Tu" and "Roop tera mastana," 

Starring: 

• Sharmila Tagore 
• Rajesh Khanna
• Sujit Kumar
• Madan Puri
• Pahadi Sanyal 
• Anita Gohal
• Abhi Bhattacharya 
• Asit Sen
• Sitaram Manmohan
• Farida Jalal
• Subhash Ghai 

Grade: B+

Fantastic music and a dashing leading man aside, the main reason why Aradhana works is perhaps because of the wonderful story line and direction. Though this movie is more often remembered for shooting Rajesh Khanna into the big league, its Sharmila Tagore's subdued portrayal of Vandana Tripathi that stays with you. 

She richly deserved her Filmfare award for Best actress for this role. Farida Jalal and Madan Puri too chip in with good supporting performances. But of course the real winner here is the music, chart busters all of them. 

Must watch to know what Bollywood was once capable of yielding before inanities set in.

Rating: PG 13
