With the help of Jasmine, Aladin and Genius work together to defeat Ringmaster. Desperate to grant him three wishes and to seek the end of his contract with the magic lamp, the rock-star Genius makes Aladin's life difficult until the real threat looms on the horizon - the ex-genie, Ringmaster (Sanjay Dutt). But his life changes when Jasmine (Jacqueline Fernandez) gives him a magic lamp - because it lets loose the genie Genius (Amitabh Bachchan). Aladin is a contemporary take on the classic fairy tale and boasts of a visual scale never seen before on Indian screen.Īladin Chatterjee (Riteish Deshmukh) lives in the fictional city of Khwaish, an orphan who has been bullied by Kasim (Sahil Khan) and his gang members since his childhood. Amitabh Bachchan, Ritesh Deshmukh, Sanjay Dutt and Jacqueline Fernandez appear in pivotal roles in the movie. On the whole, ALADIN is a terrible waste of a terrific opportunity.Aladin is a Bollywood movie directed by Sujoy Ghosh of Jhankaar Beats fame. And what is a wonderful actor like Mita Vashisht doing in this film? Saahil Khan and Arif Zakaria are okay. Jacqueline Fernandez gets no scope, but she looks gorgeous nonetheless. Sanjay Dutt has two standard expressions from start to end. Surprisingly, Amitabh Bachchan is over the top this time, which puts you off after a point. The best part is, he looks the character and enacts it without going overboard. The cinematography is top notch.ĪLADIN belongs to Riteish, who's easy on the eyes. However, too many songs in the initial reels act as roadblocks. The visual effects are excellent at places, but tacky at times. Like his last outing HOME DELIVERY, this one too is high on gloss, but low on content. Given the kind of stars and budget at his disposal, the director should've come up with a slick entertainer, but ALADIN comes across as a feeble clone of a poor Hollywood film. Sujoy Ghosh's screenplay is bad, to put it bluntly. Not just that, even the climax is ridiculous. At the same time, it looks weird when Amitabh fights an entire army of Sanju's henchmen in the end. It's not easy to comprehend.Īlso, the entire track, when Amitabh loses his powers and becomes an ordinary mortal, looks gimmicky. Two, the flashback portion - which resulted in Riteish's parents losing their lives - is haphazard.One, Amitabh refrains from revealing the past to Riteish, till Sanjay Dutt arrives on the scene and spills the beans. You can't overlook two major flaws in the writing. Okay, one expects absurdities in a fantasy, you can be pardoned for it, but at least they should have the power to keep you hooked. The problem is not with the story, but the screenplay. Sure, there're some interesting moments, but you can actually count those sequences. Sadly, ALADIN only slides downwards after this point. But no sooner does the genie appears, he breaks into a song and you realize that ALADIN is no different from those mundane films churned out week after week. ALADIN starts with a bang, with the initial portions holding a lot of promise. Why does Ringmaster want to kill Aladin? What is the dark secret about Aladin's past that Genius is carrying? ĭesperate to grant him three wishes and seek the end of his contract with the Magic Lamp, Genius makes Aladin's life difficult until the real threat looms on the horizon: the ex-genie Ringmaster. But his life changes when Jasmine gives him a magic lamp because it lets loose the genie Genius. Will a genie appear and fulfil my wishes? I doubt!Īladin Chatterjee lives in the city of Khwaish, an orphan who has been bullied since childhood by Kasim and his gang.
