This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
Powerful
Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
I am American and watched a HD DVD of this with English subs. The only other review gives no reasons why this is the worst movie ever. I don't know anyone in this film but I will try to give what it is and what it's about so you can decide for yourself to watch it or not. If the title had the English translation of genie in it it might be watched by more people. Basically this is a children's film and the genie while being played by a grown man is a child himself. A bad magician with a magic wand imprisons the genie in a bottle but then loses it in the ocean and it is swallowed by a shark. The shark is bought by some members of a circus and the children there release the genie who is kind to them and takes the appearance of their "uncle" Jimmy so he can play both parts. Jimmy as the tough two fisted fighting guy is in vast contrast to the genie who as a child comes off as very mild and not at all violent. The circus owner has been stabbed to death and Jimmy is the main suspect until the genie helps to reveal the real culprit who is fairly obvious. The genie is called a "spook" and is sung about as "Spook Uncle". There are several songs that are somewhat enjoyable but I really think this is more suited to children and they are the real stars here. For some reason, maybe because children find midgets "cute" there's a midget in with all of these kids who look about 6 to 12. If this sounds like fun to you you might give the DVD a look but for most adults there's not much to look forward to here. But I've seen much worse movies than this one.
If you like watching movies, never ever watch this one.This is my humble request to all my friends out there.An established actor like mammootty delivers one of the awful performances in Indian film history.That really puts a black mark & even brings out his limitations.Even a newcomer would have done this role more beautifully.The story also is so spattered.It has nothing to offer as it says.A complete collapse of film making.Nothing in this movie is gonna interest you.So friends, go watch this movie if you want yourself tortured to hell.A shame to Indian cinema. i rate it 0/10.
