Review of Aladin

Aladin (2009)
6/10
Well made but needs improvement!
17 October 2019
Flaws and entertainment are both equal. It is a fantasy movie made in India and the aesthetic sense is pretty well established within the imaginative world. From the idea of" Kwaish " to saving the world, the film is fun and an entertainer. The story is well built and castings are so so. There are many songs in the movie. One particular song that's in line with the plot is "You Baby" is just heart-warming. Others are not so important, I feel. Amitabh Sir is just superb as always and I loved his seriousness towards the end. His fun loving attitudes are also lovable. Others performances are also not bad.

There are few irrational situations like (1) Sanjay Dutt getting everything he wants and Amitabh Sir doesn't know anything about it. (2)Unexplained fighting sequences with the villain group. (3) Few lenghty comic moments within the movie like Aladin trying to play the lead guitar and like sort of that.

I really think Genius getting emotional for aladin and helping him should have been a little weaker. The most funny moments in the movie is that Qasim trying to dominate Aladin and fighting with him. I really wanted some more like that.

The visuals are fine if you see the Bollywood development regarding effects in contemporary time. The story progresses in serene way and no restless environment is included in it. Had the duration of the movie been shortened by removing a few unnecessary scenes and songs it would have hit the mark. Still the director should be inspired for his effort in making a fantasy movie in Indian ground. Best of luck for his next project.

If you have a child's mindset watch it and you feel the fun otherwise avoid it. A 56/100.
