Our story begins in a city which

you can find very easily on a map.

Just a little ahead

of Delhi lies Khwaish..

..or then, Khwaish

could be within your heart..

..just like, sometimes,

some stories can come true.

Like l said, some

stories can come true..

..and one such story begins in

house number three on this street..

..where Professor Arun lives with

his wife Riya and his son Aladin.

Yes, you heard right.

- Aladin.

They named their son 'Aladin'..

..because they believe

that Aladin's story is true..

..and that they can help

mankind by finding Aladin's lamp.

And today, Arun is going

in search of that lamp.

Arun.

Arun.

Arun, we're getting late

and you're standing here.

Bye, Dad.

Bye, Grandpa.

Aladin is too young.. you

shouldn't take him to the mountain.

Dad.

Dad.

Then what's the big deal

in naming him 'Aladin'?

The sooner he gets accustomed

to adventures, the better.

Don't worry.

Arun, enough with the suspense.

Will you tell me why

we've come this far up?

My wife, look..

Professor Nazer and my calculations

say that this is here somewhere.

Suppose you found this lamp..

- Okay.

And a genie came out of it..

- Okay.

What will you wish for first?

Simple.

That you, me and Aladin stay happy,

stay together forever.

Aladin.

Where is your Genie?

Aladin.

Aladin.

Where is your Genie?

l am not the Aladin

from the fairytale.

l can't call a Genie.

But your name is Aladin,

isn't it, duffer?

So, shut up and rub.

Oh, dear Aladin.

Your Genie did not come.

Get up.

You broke the lamp?

Please, Kasim.

Let me go.

l will only let you go

if the Genie comes out.

Get it?

Get another lamp.

l don't want to rub any

more lamps. Let me go.

Hurry. Hurry.. hurry.

Move.

Catch him.. catch him.

Don't let him escape.

Catch Alu.. and make

mincemeat out of him.

Aladin. Aladin..

where is your Genie?

Aladin. Aladin..

where is your Genie?

Alu, stop.

Stop, Alu.

Wait.

Aladin. Aladin.

Where is your Genie?

Aladin. Aladin.

Where is your Genie?

Aladin?

Come on.

Alu..

Catch him.

Catch him.

Nab him.

Alu.

Alu.

Alu.

Sorry, sorry.

Alu.

l am sorry.

Sorry.

All my stuff.

l know where to find him.

Wait. But Margina, what have l done?

Did you say anything

about Margina? Food?

Yes. She makes horrible food.

World's worst cook.

Can't even boil an egg properly.

You shouldn't have said that.

- Why?

Here's the egg you ordered.

That's why.

Alu.

Kasim, l don't want to rub any lamp.

What? Your name is

Aladin and you hate lamps?

Get a lamp for Alu.

Just get the lamp, will you?

What sort of a person are you?

You eat food inside and are

getting beaten up by Kasim outside.

l'd rather get

beaten up than eat this.

So, are you done yet?

lt's done.

- Let me see.

Perfect.

Wow.

- Finally.

Tea in Chaipiyoji.

'T' for torture man.

Don't change the topic.

Why do you let Kasim bully you?

Why don't you fight for yourself?

Why?

What's the point of

fighting for myself?

lt's not like l have to

save the world tomorrow.

What if you had to save the world?

What will you do? Run away?

ln life..

ln life, you have to be

prepared for anything.

Why?

- Why?

Because..

..life is like a restaurant..

..where everyone gets a table..

..but not the menu..

..and no one knows

what kind of food..

..fate will serve you,

Aladin Chatterjee.

Just like in Chaipiyoji.

Very funny.

When Kasim makes you rub lamps..

..keep laughing like this.

You're very mischievous.

And finally..

..let's talk about the comet's

passing which might just be the..

..the most amazing

event of our lives.

Scientists claim that it's

after one million years..

..that this comet will

pass over the earth.

Yes, after a million years.

So, let's talk to Professor..

..Abu Nazer from Khwaish

University about this.

Prof. Nazer, welcome to Daily News.

Professor, is it possible

that a comet can reappear..

..after a million years?

ls this possible?

Well, even though it

sounds impossible..

..extensive research has been

conducted in the past few days.

Experiments have been conducted too.

All results

conclude that this comet..

..is in fact passing over

earth after a million years.

Prof. Nazer, since we don't

know much about this comet..

..can it cause any

kind of harm to us?

Are we in any

danger from this comet?

l don't know about the danger..

- How can a comet be dangerous?

lt is still an

unexplained phenomena.. but

Lingmasta.

Lingmasta?

'Ringmaster.'

And Ringmaster never lets

anything happen to his friends.

You are still my friend?

Aren't you?

Thank you.

Oh, yes.

Didn't you have to go somewhere?

Oh. Jasmine..

Come, come.

Friends..

l want to introduce

your new classmate.

As l was saying..

..Jasmine is here from America..

..through the

student exchange programme.

Jasmine.

Welcome to Khwaish University.

l am requesting all you clowns.

- Please..

Please make a good

impression on her.

Yes, sir.

And Jasmine..

..don't give your

phone number to anyone.

Ah!

Before l begin..

..it's one of our

colleague's birthday today.

Friends.

Let's all join in wishing..

..Aladin a very happy birthday.

- Alu.

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday, dear Aladin.

Happy birthday to you.

There goes the girl

who stole my heart.

There goes the girl.

There goes the girl

who stole my heart.

There goes the girl.

l have lost my senses.

l am going crazy,

l have lost my senses.

l am going crazy.

What has her love done to me?

There goes the girl

who stole my heart.

There goes the girl.

- Wow.

Sorry.

The song demands that..

..one has to do

this while singing it.

Happy birthday.

- Thank you.

l'm Jasmine.

l know.

- l am Aladin.

l know.

The one from the fairytale?

No. No. Never.

Chatterjee. Definitely not

the one from the fairy tale.

Aladin Chatterjee.

Aladin, l am sorry about your nose.

Nose?

No. lt wasn't your fault.

lt was that stupid pole there..

And that's the problem with poles..

..they just..

..they just stand anywhere.

l thought you were

looking at me.. and you?

Me? Looking? At you?

No, no. l wasn't looking

at you. Where was l looking?

l look a lot..

Whenever my eyes are open, l look.

l keep looking. lt's a

bad childhood habit.

Like for example..

Look, there's Kasim.

What did you say?

- Look, there's Kasim.

Then?

Look, there's Kasim. - Then?

Alu.. my brother.

l am so sorry.

How could l forget your birthday.

- All right.

Like you forgot last year.

And the year before that.

You joker. l am

feeling so bad you know.

l forgot his birthday.

Listen, Alu.

- We lovingly call him Alu (potato).

A party.

- Tonight. - For you lt's on me.

No, it's okay.

lt's not okay, Alu.

l wouldn't be able

to forgive myself.

That's very sweet of you.

Hi, Kasim

Jasmine..

What is your plan tonight?

Why don't you come to the party too?

Are you sure?

l mean you guys

are old friends and..

..l don't want to impose myself..

lmpose?
