Enthralling screenplay and performance

Rating: 9/10 (4 June 2019)

As the name suggests, this movie was a remake of the famous animated story of a poor boy Aladdin who falls in love with a princess and tries to win her using a magic lamp. As far as remakes are considered, this is by far the best remake I have ever watched. The musicals, the magic, the screenplay, everything was completely enthralling! And Will Smith just added his perfection to the movie. Mena and Naomi also did justice to their respective roles, especially durung the musicals. I tried for hours in finding out some lag in the movie and the only shortcoming I could find was that there could be more importance given to the lamp and genie so as to make the story more logical. Ignoring that, the movie was a perfection. 9/10 from my side.
