Aladdin Central Messageboard

The trailer for the new 'Aladin' bollywood film can be viewed here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wm56IEZ7clo

So I'm guessing it's a modern day, live-action version of Aladdin that borrows some stuff from the Disney version (like that magic carpet, for example. There are none in the original tale). It looks like a fun film, though. I just about died laughing at Aladdin dancing. I see they also borrowed Disney!Aladdin's dorkiness and amplified it to the point of nerdiness

Apparently the release date is August 14th in India according to imdb.com, so we'll see.

There's also a blog about some behind the scenes stuff here: http://aladinblogs.erosentertainment.com/

Looks good and terrible at the same time

Aladdin in a sweater vest?

Hmm, looks like the villain is a genie who became human, so sort of the opposite of Jafar.

Lol, looks kinda cool actually. But then again, I'm a sucker for lots of color and stuff.
