![]() We think it shouldn't bother, and should stick to whoever enters the theatre first - that way, the others will be warned in advance.Īmitabh Bachchan is over-eager, but not half as much as his make-up man is. The film also seems confused about who its target audience is - kids, pre-teens or teens. The weak story isn't at all helped by its insipid dialogues. It would have only taken magic and ear-splitting 3rd degree methods (in other words, the film's music) to get Big B and Ritesh Deshmukh to sign this one. Plus, Aladin has a flashback that is not-so-subtly copied from Harry Potter - his parents died when he was a kid.Īladin is a magical musical extravaganza all right. ![]() Sanjay Dutt, as the wicked magician Ring Master, butts into the story with some evil dialogues, disturbing expressions and dangerous circus artistes - that is, if you agree that 'evil', 'disturbing' and 'dangerous' mean the same as 'coma-inducing'. He wastes 2 wishes on Jasmine, and for the 3rd, he asks for non-magical help in wooing her. And it's a good thing he never imagined it. Genius grants him 3 wishes and asks him to hurry up with them as Genius can then be set free.Īladin never imagined that his chance to ask for world peace, disease eradication, and the movie's ending, would come so early on in his life. After Genius shows him his wig, he's convinced he's no human either, but just a walking bird zoo. ![]() Out of the lamp comes Genius (Amitabh Bachchan) the genie. This makes him even more lonely, and he stares at his grandpa's photograph. This makes him lonely, and he stares at the audience. On his birthday, they all, including the well-meaning Jasmine, gift him a lamp and make him rub it. He doesn't get to change his clothes even once in those 20 years.Īnd now, his crush on Jasmine (Jacqueline Fernandez) leads him into some unpleasant run-ins with these bullies. After that, everyone's height and clothes change. His classmates keep playing their favourite game with him - to make him rub a lamp and then beat him up for not making a genie appear. In a land called Khwaish, lives the unfortunately named orphan Aladin (Riteish Deshmukh). And the fact that the script exists, is fantasy as well. His latest, Aladin, is one of his signature efforts in that direction.Īladin is nothing but fantasy. These days, Amitabh Bachchan has decided to wipe out all public memory of his cinematic feats, and scrape up anything that comes his way.
