Aladin promises to be a fun-filled family entertainer. Directed by Sujoy Ghosh, the movie takes its inspiration from classic tale of ‘Aladin and The Magic Lamp’. Movie is more in the genre of fantasy adventure. Aladin has been produced by Eros International and Boundscript Production and stars Amitabh Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt, Riteish Deshmukh and Jacqueline Fernandez. Seeing the star cast and a novel theme, movie seems very promising.
The plot revolves around Aladin Chatterjee played by Riteish Deshmukh who is a resident of the city of Khwaish. Aladin is an orphan who has been often bullied by notorious Kasim and his gang. But his life never remains the same once Jasmine (Jacqueline Fernandez) gives him a magic lamp. The lamp has indomitable genie Genius played by superstar Amitabh Bachchan. Movie also has Sanjay Dutt in the role of ex-genie Ringmaster who is hunting Aladin. Hereon, movie revolves around the suspense of destiny of Aladin and his past secret carried by Genius.
The movie Aladin is much talked about because of its star studded cast and crew. Music of the film has been composed by hit pair of Vishal-Shekhar and in one word they have managed to produce a contemporary album. Songs are energetic and racy and i must say composers have gone beyond their signature beats and tunes. The album has total six songs and two remixes. The list opens up with ‘Genie rap’ where Amitabh himself has crooned along with Anushka Manchanda. A normal song, it seems to be a situational one. DJ Suketu has made the remixed version of ‘Genie Rap’ and it is appealing because of its fast beats.
‘Tak dhina din’ is the title track and voice has been rendered by Shankar Mahadevan and Shaan. A well composed song, this is full of energy. Next entertaining number is ‘O re saawariya’ that has an interesting combination of rustic and classic influences. The remixed version of this song is quite likeable.
‘You may be’ is a love ballad sung by composers Vishal and Shekhar. ‘Bachke o bachke’ is another upbeat umber in the album that is sire to grow on you as you listen for few times. The last number ‘Giri giri’ has been sung by Sanjay Dutt and it is just a normal number. Overall, the album ‘Aladin’ will have its good days in the city for certain duration.
