![]() The Ringmaster uses a mirror, he claims to be the Google in the magical world, and finds out that Aladin is destined to protect the lamp. We find out that The Ringmaster wants the lamp for himself to get back his powers from which he was exiled due to selfish reasons. The rock-star Genius finds out its too late as our baddie The Ring Master (Sanjay Dutt an ex genie) is in town looking for the lamp as well. Enter Genius (Amitabh Bachchan) a cheerful lively genie who is eager to grant Aladin's 3 wishes and go on a vacation. At Alladin bday bash, held by Qasim (Sahil Khan - Lead bully) to impress Jasmine, Aladin is gifted yet another lamp this time by Jasmine from an antiques shop. Aladin keeps making a fool of himself whenever she is around but somehow she finds it cute I guess. Of course our protagonist falls in love with her on first sight. Enter lady love Jasmine (Jacqueline Fernandez - OMG she is soo cute) a friendly US return. His miserable life continues to be the same when he enters college as well. He is asked to rub fake lamps by the bullies every time he is spotted. The movie starts off normally in a city called Khwaish (fictional city of course) showing Aladin (Ritiesh Deshmukh) a loser orphan being bullied by kids in school just because his name is Aladin. As I mentioned the story is completely revamped to suit the Indian audience as in the original cartoon movie Jaffer dupes Aladin into looking for the lamp whereas here Aladin was destined to have it. I think it was the chemistry they shared in Kaante long back ago. Now I believe that is not the only reason these two extraordinary people where requested to grace the characters with their names. He had this evil aura around him every time he came on the screen that was very impressive. The same logic was applied to Sanjay Dutt playing The Ring Master. The audience need to feel the Aura he normally emits in any movie. The answer is playing a genie required screen presence. Now some of us may question why would a guy like Big B of such high caliber be in a kiddie movie prancing around playing magical pranks. Amitabh Bachchan playing The Genie - Genius and our very own Sanjay Dutt plays The Ringmaster - An Ex-Genie. We had 2 huge names playing strong characters. But as you know he went ahead and took the risk anyway. Somehow I have a feeling that Sujoy very well knew that this movie will not be exactly appreciated by majority of the crowd. In Aladin the story was completely revamped to suit the Indian movie enthusiasts. The former being something very down to earth for a movie freak to relate to and the latter, although an outright copy from a french movie still made a good impression. Yes its a love story as well but isn't almost every movie made in bollywood a love story? Now Sujoy Ghosh has had a impressive stint with Jhankaar beats and Home Delivery. ![]() I mean just because it is a hindi film, do you really need 6 or 7 songs? If it is a fantasy or super hero flick, why not make it more realistic and darker (say like dark knight or batman begins).Aladin : Sujoy Ghosh Budget: INR 50 Cr This movie produced, directed and written by Sujoy Ghosh comes as a welcome change from the regular run around the trees. I think one thing the makers need to keep in mind is to make sure they don’t take the viewers for granted which is what seems to be happening here. However, with all of the songs and everything, Krrish had a gripping story line towards the second half showing us how Krishna becomes Krrish. There was an exception of Krrish (if you consider it a fantasy flick it is more of a super hero film). While that is important and an interesting promotional strategy, it seems like that’s their main way of promoting the film.Īnother example of such a film was Drona which was also idiotic and a huge box office disaster. ![]() They seem to take the audience for granted and are promoted on how much money the makers used on special effects. They seemed for a lack of a better word silly. It was apparent ever since the first promos released.
