From the very first scene I knew this was going one of two ways: Diabolical or passably entertaining - nowhere in between or above the latter. For me, I somehow felt suitably entertained by <em>'Aladin'</em>. It's not a great film, at all. However, it's in a similar vein to productions like <em>'The Cat in the Hat'</em> so always divides opinion. If you can find enjoyment, you'll obviously like it but otherwise you'll hate it. I'm under the former. The cast help a lot. Riteish Deshmukh suits the role of Aladin, while Amitabh Bachchan and Sanjay Dutt are enjoyable as Genius and Jaffar. Despite the title/titular character, it's more so a film that refers to <em>'Aladdin'</em> rather than a remake/reimagining of the famous folk tale. I liked how they set this up, sure it is dumb but it works in my opinion. I did start getting bored towards the end, so the run time is most definitely too long - 90 minutes, as opposed to 132, would've been ideal. I'd be rating this much lower if not for the likeable cast and the fact that it doesn't take itself seriously; until the end, I guess. I entirely get if you dislike this, but I didn't... quite the opposite to be honest.
