Look, Jasmine is here.

Scram now.. Get it?

Kasim

- Hi.

What are you doing here?

Brother.

lt's now or never.

Kasim came to tell you..

..that he can't go to the

Students' Ball with you.

Yes. He has done it.

Thank God.

l was worried

about how to tell you..

..that l want to go to

the Ball with Aladin.

What's up!

- You want to go with him?

With this fool?

Come on, Jasmine.

He is not good enough for you.

Look at him.

He looks like a..

..waiter.

Yes?

You called?

What about the bill?

Out.

Just leave.

Hey..

Yes.

- How dare you?

l'll show you first..

..and then l'll get Alu.

Buddy..

No one can take

Jasmine away from Kasim.

Sir..

Who hit me?

- You.

Hey. Old man.

Hey. Old man. Hit me, come on.

'Old man?' Old man.

Old man.

You know Kasim.

You don't love Jasmine.

You love garbage. - What?

Yes.

My love.

My love.

My love.

My love.

My love.

- You too.

Darling.

Aladin Chatterjee.

l think l am

falling in love with you.

Genius

So, we meet again.

l wish we hadn't.

Genius.

ls this how you greet a friend?

You are not my friend.

Never were.

And never..

- Wait a minute.

l know what's next.

Let me say it.

'And will never be'.

ls that right?

What do you want?

- What do l want?

What do l want?

l want two words.

Two teeny-weeny words.

Every..

..and thing?

'Everything'.

And in the same order.

The 'every' first..

..and the 'thing' later.

Because there is no use

wanting 'thing-every', is there?

So.. l want everything.

Greed has brought you to this..

..and greed will

lead you to your end.

Wrong.

lf l die, it will be due

to your constant lecturing.

Hey, Genius,

Now, that's an idea to kill me.

Just give me a few more of these

great moral lectures of yours..

..and l'll die of boredom.

What was my fault?

Just that..

..l used my powers for myself.

And for that, you genies

took away all of my powers.

l did not harm anyone.

Just used my powers

for myself. That's it.

We took an oath

when we became genies?

Our lives and our powers..

Are for others.

We give.

We don't take.

- Very good.

So, you give..

..but l'm in the mood to take.

First, the lamp..

..and then that boy's life.

lf you..

Oh, no. Genius, What happened?

Are you okay?

Out of all the useless oaths,

why do you always forget..

..that one Genie oath?

l will never harm the

owner of the lamp..

..or the person who

holds any part of the lamp.

Meet him.

He is my bodyguard, Sher Singh.

Sher Singh.. This is Genius.

Say 'hello.'

Hello Genius..

How are you?

lf l wanted to, l could

kill you right now, Genius.

But where's the fun in that?

People will say..

Ringmaster found Genius

alone and killed him.

lf you try to harm Aladin..

Don't blame me for

your mistake, Genius.

You Genies chose him

to stop me, didn't you?

So, now, he will have to die.

Genius.

Genius.

Now, l get why you are

so fond of that orphan.

You haven't told him the

truth yet, have you, Genius?

You are a smart guy.

l have to go, Genius.

See you soon.

l promise.

Genius. l was waiting for you.

What's the matter?

You look really happy.

l thought you'd left.

Oh, so that's why you

were so happy, you ingrate?

Absolutely not.

The thing is..

Jasmine said..

'l love you' to me.

What are you saying, Brother?

Mind blowing.

Congratulations.

And what did you say?

l?

l didn't say anything..

- Oh, no.

You're such an idiot.

You should have told her

that you love her too.

Your third wish

would have been complete.

And then?

- Then what?

Then..

Love, marriage etcetera.

Live happily ever after.

No. Not that.

Then what about you?

What about me? l will push off.

Wishes granted, job over.

Genius. Goodbye.

Out of here.

Please don't go.

Don't leave.

Genius, stay with me.

Why do you want to leave?

No.

l am not. l mean..

When did l say?

You know, Aladin.. lt's the rules.

Once my job is done,

l have to go away.

This is what always happens with me.

Everyone leaves me.

When l was a kid,

my parents left me..

..and then a few years ago, grandpa.

And now..

..even you will..

You always tease me about this..

..about why l always wear

this 'A' for Aladin like..

..a board around my neck?

This 'A' isn't for Aladin, Genius.

This 'A' is for Arun.

This is my father's sweater.

That's why l always keep it with me.

When l had no one to call my own..

..you came into my life.

Genius.

l don't want you to leave

me like everyone else did.

Can you?

Can't you stay with me forever?

l will always be with you.

May be not physically..

..but whenever you need me..

..l will be there.

Promise?

- Yes, promise..

You're the best.

Okay. l have to

finish an assignment.

Aladin.

- Yes?

No, nothing.

Go finish your assignment.

We'll talk tomorrow.

Aladin.

Were you responsible

for my parent's death?

Aladin. Listen to me.

You don't know the whole story.

- l don't care.

Yes or no?

Aladin, don't be stupid.

Yes or no?

Genius..

Please say 'no'.

Please.

Yes.

You?

But.. - All this while

that you were with me..

l thought l had at last

found someone to call family..

..but you betrayed my trust.

Aladin, listen to me.

Aladin.

Aladin.

My friend.

Now, you have just two choices.

Either you can join

me for a cup of tea..

..or you could go outside

and try and save Aladin.

l know it's difficult..

..but you can at least try..

..because sometimes

those who try, succeed.

Cheers.

Hey!

Stop. Stop.

Stick around?

Very funny.

Watch it.

Hey, Aladin.

Where's the lamp?

Oh.

Rub-a-dub-rub..

Where is the lamp?

- At home.

Hello, Genius.

How are you?

'Ringmaster'.

l suspected him that very day.

He's too old to be Aladin's cousin.

He's at least as old as his uncle.

Saving Aladin time and again

has become his habit, darling.

My friend.

Don't ask why..

..but Aladin has to die.

Don't ask why..

..but Aladin has to die.

He won't do it.

lf he refuses, he will lose his

powers and turn into a human being..

..because he took another

stupid oath when he became a genie..

..that he will obey every

command of the lamp's owner.

lsn't that so, my friend?

- No.

Don't ask for that..

- Hey.

The lamp, Genius, belongs to me..

..and l want my wishes three.

My friend.

Make my fantasy a reality..

..find and kill Aladin for me..

Did you hear that, Genius?

Did you hear the first boom?

Boom.

Then Let there be light.

Genius.

Come out, my friend.

You dirty rogue, come out.

What happened?

Breaking news.

Love has destroyed Genius.

Genius has now become human..

..now, he can't harm us anymore.

That's all from the news-desk.

Whatever happened today, started..

..in an incident that

occurred 20 years ago.

That day, everyone was looking

for that one special object.

Arun wanted the lamp..'

..so he could help people.

Ringmaster wanted the lamp..

..so that he could catch the comet

and go back to being a Genie..

..and the lamp

itself was looking for..

..its rightful owner.

Legend says, the only

person worthy of the lamp..
