Yet in bold terms, both Amitabh Bachchan & Sanjay Dutt should include this movie as one of the most regretful projects of their career. It seems they acted that way according to the brief given by the director. In the performance department, except Ritesh Deshmukh, almost everyone goes over the top, acting with hyper reactions and high energy. On the contrary, the bonus track deviates the story from its original theme and takes away the world famous charm of this fantasy story. But sadly, his move of adding a baddie Ring Master, doesn't work at all.
May be the director wanted to add some spice and thrill into the story with some additional villain characters.
Can't say from where he came into the story all of a sudden as we have not read about any such character in the Aladin story. Moreover the kids keep on waiting for something great to unfold on the screen, each time Aladin is going to say a wish, but nothing happens and post interval the movie moves on to a totally different tale of a Ring Master who is also in search of the magic lamp. Besides this, the three wishes are just wasted by Aladin, without any excitement build up or entertainment factor for the viewers. The Jinn simply appears from the cloudy smoke in few seconds and then just starts singing a song along with Aladin and a group of dancers, which is arguably the weirdest conceived sequence of the movie. But shockingly neither of the above two sequences have been given the much required importance by the director Sujoy Ghosh. Originally the whole movie should revolve around these three granted wishes and their surprising aftereffects. And second, the content of the three wishes granted to Aladin by the Jinn. First being the entry and introduction sequence of the Jinn. To start with, in my opinion there are two most important and exciting sequences in an "Aladin" movie, which have to be dealt with extra care and creativity. In other words it seems to be the result of the wandering mind of a director who is simply lost in his own artistic world and damn cares of the entertainment quotient of his final product. Hanging in the mid, it is neither an enjoyable fare for the kids, nor a refreshing graphical ride for the youngsters. Wasn't there even one thinking mind in the team who could see that they were repeating the same horrendous blunder again leading to a big loss, both on financial and goodwill grounds? Wasn't there any creative person at all, who could point out that "Aladin" was also having the same distasteful ingredients, which were earlier universally rejected in "Drona" in the very first few days of its release? Anyway, the mistake has been committed and the loss has to be faced by everyone.Playing with the loving memories of a childhood story which is still fresh in our mature minds, the movie shamelessly lies in the lowest zone of creativity. And this year we have a similar kind of forgettable fantasy movie titled "Aladin", once again from the same prestigious banner of Eros. Last year we had a heavy weight fantasy debacle from the banner of Eros Entertainment called "Drona".
