The boy fell in love with the beauty at first sight, sincerely hoping for reciprocity. On the whole, ALADIN is a terrible waste of a terrific opportunity.In the bustling bazaar of the city-state of Agrabah, a petty street thief named Aladdin saves the heir to the throne Jasmine, disguised as a commoner, from the wrath of an angry seller. 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.
