About 13B

BIG Pictures’ 13B is a supernatural thriller where in today’s world of unrelenting pressures, challenged survivals and super-fast lifestyles, the major source of relief and entertainment is…the TV. So much so that it has moved from its modest position of being just another household appliance to actually determining the power equation in a family. It is easy to figure out the hierarchy in the family depending on who controls the Remote Control.

What happens when 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 that has just moved into their new sweet home in 13B?
