Simply awesome. Mind-blowing. Amazing. I haven’t watched the 1992 version, so I can’t judge better or not. Read the review now.

A mariner starts to tell his two children a story about a boy named Aladdin, in ancient Persia.

Aladdin is a young boy who lost both his parents when he was a baby, with his sole friend being a monkey named Abu. Once he sees a girl who robs two pieces of bread for a pair of kids to eat. The shopkeeper notices and sends the bodyguards to chase down the girl and Aladdin (who just steals the girl’s bracelet.). Aladdin, with the help of the girl, jumps and runs his way to his hideout in an under construction building which was abandoned a long time ago. At his house, Aladdin correctly identifies that the girl from the palace. Later, the sultan’s wazir Jafar tries to find the cave of wonders, when he recruits Aladdin to find the cave of wonders, where Aladdin and Abu meet a genie, who gives Aladdin 3 wishes. Aladdin’s first wish is to get out of there. Want to know more? Watch th movie!

Best soundtrack of the movie that I have watched ever. The movie was rather better than the original, I’ll say. Dalia, Princess Jasmine’s handmaiden and later seafarer, was a scrapped idea for the first movie which was implemented in this, as a friend for Jasmine and a love interest for the genie. Will Smith’s acting as a genie was mindblowing. I could call that better than the original, but who can surpass Robin Williams? Rajah, Jasmine’s tiger, is also fun to be with… only if he seems to approve of your smell. I’m fine, I guess! I really liked the score ‘Friend Like Me’ when the genie introduces himself in the Cave of Wonders. Same for the start score Arabian Nights. No noticeable flaws except for the Whole New World scene, where the ambient lighting was too little.

I wholeheartedly recommend this movie because

1.       The acting is epic.

2.       The plotline is amazing!

3.       The execution of the of the plotline is the best!

4.       Will Smith’s acting as the genie is amazing.

5.       Overall, THIS MOVIE REAALLY SUPER FANTABULOUS!

Oh my god, this movie is really a ride. Omkar Lele, or Ole, is a widower and single father who’s main aim is to live life at its fullest. Contrastingly, his son Aditya Lele, or Aale, is an extreme workaholic, constantly having calls, conferences, meetings, presentations, and having very little, if any time for himself and his family. How much ever Ole tries to get Aale to do anything, he never manages to do anything with him. One time, after Aale fails to appear for a dinner at home, Ole, in sadness, apparently flees the house. Confused, Aale and their house helper, Baburao, rush to the police station and ask everybody about Ole’s whereabouts. Turns out, Ole was always at home, simply hiding. It was all a ploy to get Aale to stay at home and cancel his meeting in Delhi. Du
