Plot
Season 1
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 (chiraag).
Five hundred years later, Aladdin is born in Baghdad as the only son of Ruksaar and Omar, the once royal guard of Baghdad, now known as a traitor. young Aladdin is a kind-hearted, funny, brave, courageous, and hopelessly romantic poet. His biggest dream is to meet Princess Yasmine of Baghdad, with whom he fell in love at first sight (when he was seven years old). He brings a magical lamp in exchange for ten thousand gold coins for the wazir of Baghdad, Zafar but gets confined in a cave. He rubs the lamp and becomes the master of the Genie of the Lamp (Hassan), (also called Chiraag ka jinn). He names him Ginu.
Zafar tries to steal the lamp from Aladdin but fails. Aladdin strolls freely in Baghdad's streets. Princess Yasmine is forbidden to roam in Baghdad by her mother, Queen Mallika. Still, Yasmine disguises herself, wandering around Baghdad in common clothes to address the citizens' welfare. Aladdin and Yasmine often bump into each other. Yasmine dislikes that Aladdin (Kalachor) only likes (Shehzaadi) Yasmine because of her title. As such, she introduces herself as Sana. Initially, they do not get along. Over time, they become friends and falls in love.
Zafar finds Anguthi ka Jinn aka Anguthichap aka Jhumru (Genie of Ring) in Misr/Egypt. He captures Ginu [chirag ka jin ], turns him into evil, and erases all of his memories of Aladdin with the help of Anguthi ka Jinn. He kills Sultan, i.e., Yasmine's father, 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 shocked and perplexed Aladdin and sentences him to be buried alive in a short square closed room without any opening and sand-filled in it. Everyone scorns Rukhsaar as earlier her husband, and now her son, both are termed as traitors.
Season 2
One year later, Aladdin is still alive, living in Misr/Egypt. His father Omar and Bulbul Chacha saved him and helped him escape. In the process, Omar was killed. Aladdin finds Anguthi ka Jinn (whom he calls Anguthi Chaap)(Genie of the Ring) and discovers Zafar's crimes. Aladdin vows to seek revenge. The duo finds two more genies – an uncle and a niece duo, Genie Meanie (Genie of the Bottle) and Chand Changezi (who is called ChaCha) (Genie of the Pendant).
They take up the names 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 (Aladdin's cousin) recognizes Aladdin's innocence and decides to help him. He first disguises himself as Aladdin ki rooh (Aladdin's ghost) and captures his innocence in Anguthi Chaap's ring. The plan fails when Ginu's magic changes the entire recording and Aladdin couldn't prove his innocence. 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. Aladdin reciprocates her love. Together, then 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 [building of gold ] 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 his group consisting of Yasmine, Rukhsaar, Gulbadan, Ginu, Anguthi Chaap, Genie Meanie, and Chand Changezi (the tholi), bring Zafar's offenses in front of Baghdad. Zafar dies, and Zeher escapes from Baghdad. Before his death, Zafar revived Mallika with the help of Magical Mercury (Jaadui Para). Aladdin and his companions buried Zafar's body.
A month later, on the occasion of Jashn-e-Dilbar [valentine's day ], Aladdin proposes marriage to Yasmine, and they plan their engagement. A disguised Mallika arrives and plans for destruction by using Shaitaan ka Khanjar (Dagger of the Devil). She turns Aladdin's mother into a genie with a 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 is brought back to human form.
Faraz is revealed to be Zafar, who returned to take revenge on Aladdin, killing the real Faraz. Using the khanjar, which is now very powerful because of Mallika's blood, Zafar becomes Aiyyar Zafar (Devil's true friend). Then, Zafar sends Aladdin and Yasmine to bring the red box from the hell. Then, Aladdin and Yasmine decide to go to Hell to save Omar, now an angel from punishment because he had given Aladdin a piece of the khanjar. After they reach Hell, they give the Lal Sanduk (Red Box) to Zafar, which he wants, and in return, he frees Omar from punishment. Aladdin tells Omar that the real Lal Sanduk is with them, not with Zafar. Omar sends the real Sanduk to a safer place. Omar, knowing Aladdin and Yasmine can bring the Sanduk, pushes them into lava, killing them, so the Sanduk cannot be brought back. Then he jumps into the lava to punish himself. Zafar uses a spell that erases Aladdin and Yasmine's memories from the minds of Baghdad's citizens, and he becomes the Sultan. He traps Ginu in his lamp, throws him away, and makes Anguthi Chaap his servant. Chacha and Geanie Meanie got lost in the world of Genie. Aladdin and Yasmine are reborn in Turkistan.
