I had the pleasure of watching Aladin as one of many in flight movies recently. It was a decent watch, the new girl held her own (Jackie Fernandez or something like that is her name) she looked very pretty in Indian clothes (not sure if her voice was dubbed or not) and she handled her scenes and dances well. Riteish Deshmukh was his usual charming and funny self, he stars as the title character. Amitabh Bachchan plays Genius (Genie) and Sanjay Dutt thrills as the ringmaster in search of the enchanted lamp and it's Genie's powers. If parents want to know why they should NOT name their children after characters in movies, books or whatever other weirdness they can conjure up besides the norm, they should watch this film and see what Aladin(played by Riteish) had to endure. Nicholas Cage named one of his children Kal-el after his cartoon hero, superman. I wonder how the poor boy fairs at the playground with a name like that.
