Ghosh does exactly that as he lets his imagination go wild and spins a tale that ends up relating the past, present and future of these characters. This is why it requires courage for a filmmaker to set the film in contemporary times and come up with his own take on a well loved tale. The story of 'Aladin' is legendary and Genie and Jasmine are known worldwide. Watch him in 'Genie Rap' and you'll know why. However, the film completely belongs to Amitabh who totally steals the show. Sanjay is good but how one wishes that he had at least a couple of dramatic scenes with Amitabh. Riteish is likeable as the young man who gets superpowers towards the film's end, hence keeping an option for a sequel.

This is further enhanced by the presence of newcomer Jacqueline Fernandes. Cast & Crew Sujoy GhoshDireo Vishal DadlaniRoteiro and Msica Ritesh ShahRoteiro Shubhankar AtreElenco Amitabh BachchanElenco Victor BanerjeeElenco. Sujoy Ghosh does well in conjuring the imaginary world of 'Khwaish' that gives the film a visual appeal.

The flashback sequence is extremely well done too. The visuals belong to the never-seen-before variety, especially the ones where Big B is shown repenting about his misdeeds. Sanjay becomes more prominent on screen, the past is unearthed, action and thrills take centrestage and the best of VFX is unveiled. The real fun begins in the second half with the battle between good versus evil. The entire past about Aladin and the Genius gets a little confusing. Aladdin is a 1992 American animated musical fantasy comedy film produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation and released by Walt Disney Pictures. Meanwhile, Sanjay Dutt's Ringmaster character makes on and off appearances, though one would have expected to see more of him. He adopts a completely different body language as the flamboyant genie, who is happy moving on with the times, and could give the younger generation a run for its money. The funny antics that follow may not have grown ups rolling with laughter, but should surely keep the smiles on.Īmitabh's 'Yo dude' act keeps the fun going. There is some fun in store for children with a donkey's head replacing Riteish's, his guitar turning into a frog and him being thrown in the air after being turned into a balloon. If the first half is more children friendly, the second half has a lot going for teenagers and above. The narrative is clearly divided into two sections. Playing Genius - The Genie could have gone either way since he is expected to be whacky, quirky, a little eccentric, a bit mad and hugely lovable. Young at heart and fresh in treatment, 'Aladin' wouldn't have been possible without him. 'I am still a teenager', says Amitabh Bachchan right at the beginning of 'Aladin', setting the mood for the film to follow.
