Aladdin

Aladdin--- 6 /10. over all.. an 8 /10 for the special effects!!

Director: Sujoy Ghosh
Cast: Amitabh Bachchan, Riteish Deshmukh, Sanjay Dutt, Jacqueline Fernandez
Music: Vishal -Shekar. (nothing great about the songs)

It’s a wooping .400 million or $ 10 million movie does show lot of super cool effects Supervised by Charles Darby (of Harry Potter fame).

Yes it is based on the famous fable Aladdin and his Magic Lamp,.Amitabh does an amazing job; i would go as far as saying he saving grace for the entire movie!

Aladdin a normal.. college going boy, who has no one in life; as it occurs shares his name with the famous fable character (Aladdin and his magic lamp) and for the same reason is bullied by his college mates.. All of them OVERSIZED!! They bully him by buying him lamps and then make him rub it!! One fine day magic striks!!! and a Genie (Amitabh Bachchan) does come out of the lamp to grant Aladdin three wishes! Aladdin disappoints everyone big-time by using (wasting the 3 wishes!!) to win the girl - Jasmine (Miss Sri Lanka Jacqueline Fernandez)

As all stories go Aladdin likes the girl and cant gear up the courage to tell her he likes her. It’s a typical boy like s girl , wants to woo her..story I would say told with a lot of special effects and in a silly way. Also the movie has songs popping up here and there, just for the sake of it, and sadly music is not really great! One could do so much more given the topic… and the expertise of people involved!

The Ringmaster and his gang, (jokers, giants, fire-eaters) not funny nor does anything about them scare you..

All in all I would say it’s a ok watch I’ll give it a 8 for the effects.. and probably a 6 for all the effort Amitabh and the new girl put in..
