Vellikizhamai 13am Thethi is a 2016 Indian Tamil-language comedy horror film directed by Pugazhmani and starring Rathan Mouli, Shravya, and Suza Kumar.
Raasathi is an adamant girl and her father is ready to do anything that she asks. On one such day, her father buys a piece of land under her name and build a marriage hall on top of it. Raasathi is persuaded by her mother to get married, but the groom gets angry and puts the hall on fire after he learns that Raasathi is having an affair with someone else. Thirteen people die in the fire. An enchanter advises Raasathi that if she is married in the same hall, then all of the evil spirits will die off. Her brother Ramakrishnan assigns Saravanan and his group of friends the job of renovating the hall. How Saravanan and his group of friends rid the hall of spirits forms the rest of the story. Along the way, Saravanan meets his friend Malliga.
