The live-action movie Aladdin which released on Friday was a blast of nostalgia for fans all over the world. Even in India, the 90's kids who grew up with the legend of Aladdin and the Magic Lamp and TV shows like I Dream of Genie couldn't help but run to the threatres to catch the most-loved children's fantasy drama Aladdin. And while other movies like Arjun Kapoor's India's Most Wanted and Vivek Oberoi's PM Narendra Modi clashed with the Will Smith-starrer, families with their kids who are on their summer vacations from school, naturally chose the Genie over a terrorist hunt or a biopic of the most powerful PM in recent times.
