Aladin Chatterjee (Riteish Deshmukh) lives in the fictional city of Khwaish, an orphan who is bullied by Kasim and his gang members since his childhood. But his life changes when Jasmine (Jacqueline Fernandez) gives him a magic lamp – because it lets loose the genie Genius (Amitabh Bachchan). Desperate to grant him three wishes and to seek the end of his contract with the magic lamp, the rock-star Genius makes Aladin's life difficult until the real threat looms on the horizon – the ex-genie, Ring Master (Sanjay Dutt).
With the help of Jasmine, Aladin and Genius work together to defeat Ring Master. In the end Aladin marries Jasmine, and earns powers from the lamp.

Amitabh brings Genius to life with his excellent act even though it appears over the top at times. Ritesh is perfectly fit for his role and does an endearing act. Sanjay Dutt though saddled with a half baked role is in great form. You can make out he is having a ball playing the fantasy villain. Newcomer Jacqueline has superb screen presence and not only is she very attractive but is very expressive too. Sahil Khan is well casted and his scenes with Ritesh are hilarious.
Vishal-Shekhar’s tunes offer nothing new but gel with the film. Editing could have been better but camerawork by Sirsha Ray and set design by Sabu Cyril is top notch. Even the sound design is of international standards.
If you had been anticipating a great entertainer then Aladin is surely a let down!
