And the world is

Not even in my dreams.

What is this that makes

Okay. Yes.

Party time.

Nowadays, no one invites

Expecting someone?

Ah!

Oh, hello.

Hey..

Put the cake down.

Or?

Or? Or?

Or? Or.. Or..

Put the cake down.

Delicious.

My guitar.

Who are you, sir? Who are you?

He who can make the impossible into

the possible, and possible into..

Or something like that.

lt was a great saying.

Anyway, brother.

ln a nutshell..

What a man thinks..

..but cannot do..

To make that happen.

That's my claim to fame.

And Genius is my name.

l did not understand, sir.

Just what l was afraid of.

lt's completely empty.

You have no brains.

Look.

lt's not right to

enter someone's house..

..and stick your hand in his brain.

You were saying something?

Aladin Chatterjee.

Bengali?

Just hear me out clearly.

l guess you are

unaware of the fact..

..you are now the proud owner of

a magical lamp and three wishes.

Understand.

Come. Come.

Wait. Let me get this.

Your name is Genius?

l have a lamp which is

where you came out of..

..because l rubbed you?

Not me, you fool.

You rubbed the lamp.

Now, quickly ask for your

three wishes and let me go.

l have no time.

Hey, would you have

something to eat out here?

l get really hungry after dancing.

But that is a fairytale, isn't it?

How can this be true?

How is it possible?

Genie? Lamp? Three wishes.

Brother. Everything is possible.

Look at this.

lf a donkey like you

can look like a man..

..then anything is possible.

What is your wish?

What do you want?

Who was that donkey?

Oh, Brother.

You know..

..you bore me.

Look.

l had been sitting idle in this

lamp for the past twenty years..

..and no one bothered.

Now, when l am just two

months away from retirement..

..you came by..

Mr. Aladin Chatterjee.

And you rubbed the lamp.

Look, Brother

- it's very simple.

lf you don't redeem

your three wishes now..

..my contract shall get

extended by another million years.

So, please hurry up.

l want to finish my

contract and move out of the lamp.

Move out..

Contract..

Three wishes..

l don't understand a thing.

What should l wish for?

You don't understand?

How about a brain?

You have no brains.

How about a car, a house,

money, ice cream.

lce cream?

- Yes. lce cream.

Wish for anything. But make

it fast. Just make a wish.

But.. What should l? -Oh, God.

This one will not let me retire.

Yes. Aladin.

Man.. Man..

The man got it going.

The man got it going.

Got it going.

He keep the party going

till the break of dawn.

Got the blondes and the forties.

Rolling with their choice.

Giving them every

little thing they want.

Giving them every

little thing they want.

Make a wish, make a wish.

And l'll make your wish come true.

l'll fulfil all your wishes, all

your dreams and your hopes too.

Make a wish, make a wish.
