2018 Indian fantasy TV series From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aladdin – Naam Toh Suna Hoga (transl. Aladdin – Must've Heard The Name) is an Indian fantasy television series loosely based on the Arabian Nights story Aladdin. The series premiered on 21 August 2018 on Sony SAB . The series involves Aladdin, a kind-hearted thief, as he falls in love with Princess Yasmine, befriends a wish-granting Genie of the Lamp, and battles Zafar and later the evil enchantress Mallika, and again with Zafar after his rebirth.[4] While it incorporates many elements from the traditional Aladdin story, such as a young thief, a genie and a princess, it deviates significantly in its narrative and character development. The show's plot introduces new story arcs, original villains, and reimagined character relationships that set it apart from the more linear Disney adaptation. The series went off-air on 5 February 2021.[5]

Mallika, an evil enchantress, tries to take over the world, but her servant Hassan betrays her and turns her into a stone statue. Before becoming a statue, Mallika turns Hassan into a genie and captures him in a lamp.
Five hundred years later, Aladdin is born in Baghdad as the only son of Ruksaar and Omar, the once royal guard of Baghdad, now termed as a traitor. Aladdin is a kind-hearted, funny, brave, courageous, and hopelessly romantic poet. He dreams to meet his childhood crush Yasmine, the Princess of Baghdad. He brings a magical lamp in exchange for ten thousand gold coins for the grand vizier of Baghdad, Zafar but gets confined in a cave. He rubs the lamp and discovers the Genie of the Lamp, naming him Ginu.
Zafar tries to steal the lamp from Aladdin but fails. Ginu lives with Aladdin disguised as a human. The Sultana puts restrictions on Yasmine, still she disguises herself as a commoner, wandering around Baghdad to address the citizens' welfare. Aladdin and Yasmine often bump into each other. The latter dislikes that Aladdin likes the princess because of her title and introduces herself as Sana. Sharing a love-hate relationship, over time, they become friends and fall in love.
Zafar finds Genie of the Ring in Misr. With the latter's help, he captures Ginu, turns him evil and erases all of his memories. He kills Sultan, frames Aladdin for the murder, and betrays Genie of the Ring by taking away all his powers. A heartbroken Yasmine reveals her truth to a perplexed Aladdin and sentences him to death.
One year later, Aladdin is still alive, living in Misr. Omar and Bulbul had saved him and helped him escape leading to Omar's death. Aladdin finds Genie of the Ring and discovers Zafar's crimes, seeking revenge. The duo finds two more genies – an uncle and a niece duo, Genie Meanie (Genie of the Bottle) and Chand Changezi(Genie of the Pendant).
They disguise as Ali (Aladdin), a merchant from Ankara, his siblings Sara (Genie Meanie), Chand Changezi (ChaCha), and their servant Jhumru (Anguthi Chaap) to foil Zafar's evil intentions. Gulbadan recognizes Aladdin's innocence and joins him. They try to prove Aladdin innocent, but fail. Later, Yasmine finds out about Aladdin's innocence and breaks down out of guilt. Soon she realizes Ali is Aladdin disguised and confesses her love to him, which Aladdin reciprocates. They turn Ginu back to his good form, and Aladdin is reunited with his mother.
Zafar intends to reach Mallika, the evil enchantress, with the Sonminar's help. He wants to rule the entire world, but Aladdin stops him. Zafar, with the help of his sister, Zeher, finds out Ali and Ginu's truth. Aladdin and the group bring Zafar's offenses in front of Baghdad. Zafar dies, and Zeher escapes from Baghdad. Before his death, Zafar secretly revives Mallika.
A month later, on Jashn-e-Dilbar, Aladdin proposes marriage to Yasmine, and they plan their engagement. A disguised Mallika arrives and plans for destruction by using Shaitaan ka Khanjar. She turns Aladdin's mother into the Genie of the Bracelet and persuades Aladdin to bring the three parts of the Shaitaan ka Khanjar. In a fight with Zafar's sister Zeher, Aladdin unknowingly opens a prison from which a lookalike of Zafar comes out and helps Aladdin. He introduces himself as Faraz, Zafar and Zeher's younger brother, who was imprisoned by the brother-sister duo for about 10 years. Together they collect all three parts of Shaitaan ka Khanjar by which Aladdin kills Mallika, and his mother turns back to a human.
Faraz is revealed to be Zafar, who returned, killing the real Faraz. Using the khanjar, catalyses by Mallika's blood, Zafar becomes Aiyyar Zafar. He sends Aladdin and Yasmine to bring the red box from the hell. Then, Aladdin and Yasmine reach the hell to save Omar, now an angel from punishment because he had given Aladdin a piece of the khanjar. They give the Red Box to Zafar and in return, he frees Omar from punishment. Aladdin tells Omar that the real box is with them.
