Aladin
Critic reviews and ratings
-
Aladin is a decent film – not great, but not as bad as some people seem to be gleefully making it out to be.
-
...it's a worthy watch, especially for the kids. It's also a rare reminder that you can have good, clean fun at the movies.
-
The special effects are good but you’ve seen better. If anything, Aladin makes a case for better scripts in our movies.
-
This VFX filled entertainer is just the right recipe if one is looking for a family entertainer.
-
...kids will have a blast. Grown-ups too will love it, provided they are willing to take a trip down fantasyland.
-
Despite the length being a tad too long and the enchantment quotient hovering around average, the film might still be worth a watch for a few amusing moments.
-
...the film’s faith in the nurturing qualities inherent in fantasy never flags.
-
Director Ghosh's most ambitious venture till date is derailed by a tedious plot and dialogues. The mystery, fantasy world is overrun by a juvenile love story.
-
Aladin, directed by Sujoy Ghosh, is a reworking of a beloved children’s story but it’s so convoluted that you can barely follow who is doing what to whom and why.
-
What Ghosh dishes out in its place is some half-hearted hocus-pocus, a clumsy mix of old world lore with contemporary indifference, sloppy trips to the flashback and awkward bursts of forced sentimentality.
-
Aladin, Aladin, kahan hai tera sheen? Truly, a big let down from...
-
Aladin excels in the SFX department, setting a benchmark for others to follow, but as an engaging fairy tale that weaves magic and mystery it fails on every front.
-
...despite the Rs 80 crore of special effects wasted on this film, Aladin has neither magic nor is it particularly magical.
-
Certainly the inspiration is interesting but the execution tends to become formulaic.
-
Aladin excels in the SFX department, setting a benchmark for others to follow, but as an engaging fairy tale that weaves magic and mystery it fails on every front.
-
Ghosh's setting is neither magical enough for a fantasy nor identifiable enough to be real. It’s too confusing for kids and adults alike. Except for a few laugh early on and Bachchan’s stand out act, Aladin is another addition to Bollywood’s failed attempts at fantasy.
-
Avoid this version and watch the delightful Disney version instead.
-
Sujoy Ghosh's Aladin promises the moon, but what you get is a mere flicker.
-
Sujoy Ghosh may have had an ambitious plot - a SFX-laden fantasy like this needs a big scale, which it has - but his treatment bores you to death.
-
Sandwiched in between is a boring love story of the shy Aladin (Ritesh), and Jasmine (Jacqueline, who fills in well as the smiling wallpaper). Aladin, like Drona and Love Story 2039, is ambition gone awry.
-
The movie may be a visual treat but lacks soul. A poor fare.
-
‘Aladdin’ is a gorgeous-looking but dull ride.
-
Aladin is a good example of how to take a beautiful fairy tale, and proceed to fairly destroy it.
-
...unbelievable, hollow, expensive rubbish...
