Reviews
Critically, "Aladin" received mixed to negative reviews upon its release. On IMDb, it holds a rating of 4.7/10, indicating general viewer dissatisfaction. Critics highlighted that while the movie aimed to bring a classic story to life with modern Bollywood stylings, it struggled with pacing and narrative coherence. The performances, particularly Riteish Deshmukh's, received praise for his comedic timing and charisma. However, some critics felt that the script was weak and the special effects underwhelming. Rediff.com commented that "Aladin tries to dazzle but ends up being a muddled mix of fantasy and romance," while Bollywood Hungama rated it 2 out of 5 stars, noting that "the film fails to engage due to a predictable storyline and average execution." Despite its shortcomings, the film was appreciated for its musical score and colorful visual presentation. Overall, "Aladin" remains a film with entertaining moments but did not meet the expectations of a satisfying Bollywood fantasy adventure.
