Unintentionally funny …How we wish director Vikram Bhatt had deviated from the tired and tested plotlines and not indulged in religious mumbo jumbo as well. Oh well, too much to ask perhaps…

Creature has novelty for the Hindi film-going audience and the fairly nice 3D effects, but a dull second half will limit its box-office prospects. It can hope to do fairly well in single-screen cinemas and in small centres, but business in multiplexes and big centres will be below the mark. In the final tally, it will prove to be a loss-making venture.

This film could have been much more, had the creature too been given more personality and heft. This is one of the few films where the antagonist must have as much substance as the protagonist. Here’s it’s reduced to being just a freak, a cursed lizard-man, out to devour people. Too bad, really.

This creature lacks character!

Creature 3D shows efforts of our Indian indigenous technicians but unfortunately don’t possess the flair, which such flicks require.
