Plot

Season 1

A boy named Aladdin is born in Baghdad as the only son of Rukhsaar and Omar, the once royal guard of Baghdad, now termed as a traitor. Though he is a thief, Aladdin is a kind-hearted, a hopelessly romantic poet, funny, brave, and courageous young boy. His biggest dream is meeting Princess Yasmine of Baghdad with whom he fell in love at first sight (when he was very young). He is to bring a magical lamp in exchange for ten thousand gold coins for the evil Grand Vizier of Baghdad, Zafar, but gets confined in a cave. He rubs the lamp and becomes the master of the Genie of The Lamp. He names him Ginu.

Zafar tries to steal the lamp from Aladdin but fails. Aladdin strolls in the streets of Baghdad for several tasks. Princess Yasmine isn't allowed to roam Baghdad for her mother, Queen Mallika, doesn't allow her but she disguises herself and wanders around in Baghdad in common clothes ensuring the welfare of the citizens. Aladdin and Yasmine often bump into each other. Yasmine hates the fact that Aladdin (Kalachor) only likes Shehzaadi Yasmine because of the title and hence, she introduces herself as Sana. Initially, they do not get along well but soon they become friends and fall in love.

Zafar finds the Genie Of The Ring in Misr (Egypt). With him, he finds Ginu, turns him evil, and erases all of his memories with Aladdin. He kills Sultan i.e. Yasmine's father, framing Aladdin for the murder, and betrays Genie Of The Ring. A heartbroken Yasmine, reveals her truth to a shocked and perplexed Aladdin and orders to bury him alive in a short square closed room without any opening and sand-filled in it. Everyone scorns Rukhsaar as her husband and her son are termed as traitors.

Season 2

One year later, Aladdin is shown to be still alive, living in Misr. He finds Genie Of The Ring (Aladdin calls him Anguthi Chaap) and discovers Zafar's crimes. Aladdin vows to seek revenge and takes up the name Ali. It is shown that his father Omar and Bulbul Chacha saved him. In the process, Omar gets killed. The duo find two more genies – an Uncle and Niece duo, Jinee Minee, and Chand Changezi (who is called ChaCha) along with an enormous amount of wealth.

They take up the names Ali (Aladdin) a merchant from Ankara, his siblings Sara (Jinne Minne), and Chand Changezi (ChaCha) and their servant Jhumuru (Anghuti Chaap) to foil Zafar's evil intentions. Gulbadan (Aladdin's cousin) and Yasmine recognize Aladdin's innocence and then decide to help him. Together, they turn Ginu back to his good form, and Aladdin is reunited with his mother. Zafar intends to reach Mallika with the help of the Gold Tower but Aladdin and Yasmine stop him. Zafar finds out Ali and Ginu's truth. Aladdin and his group which consists of Yasmine, Rukhsaar, Gulbadan, Ginu, Anghuti Chaap, Jinne Minne, and ChaCha (the Toli) bring Zafar's offences in front of Baghdad. Zafar dies and Zeher escapes from Baghdad.

A month later

Everyone in Baghdad is celebrating Aladdin and Yasmine's engagement. Mallika disguised as Yasmine's aunt arrives and plans for destruction by using the Devil's Dagger. Mallika turns Aladdin's mother into a genie who is captivated by a bracelet and persuades Aladdin to bring the three parts of the Devil's Dagger. 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. Together they collect all three parts of Devil's Dagger by which Aladdin kills Mallika and his mother is brought back to human form.

Faraz is then revealed to be Zafar himself who returned to take revenge from Aladdin along with Zeher, killing the real Faraz. Zafar, using the Dagger which is now more powerful because of Mallika's blood, becomes Aiyyar Zafar. Aladdin and Yasmine decide to go to Hell to save his father from punishment because he had given Aladdin a piece of the Dagger. After they reach Hell, they give the red box to Zafar which he wants and in return, he frees Omar from punishment. Aladdin tells Omar that the real red box is with them, not with Zafar. Omar sends the real box to a safer place. Omar, knowing that Aladdin and Yasmine can bring the box, pushes them into lava, killing them, so that the box cannot be brought back. Then he jumps into the lava to punish himself for killing Yasmine and Aladdin. Zafar uses a spell that erases the memories of Aladdin and Yasmine from the minds of Baghdad's citizens and becomes the Sultan. Aladdin and Yasmine are reborn in Turkistan.

Aladdin tricks Zafar to make him reveal where he has kept the memories. Aladdin makes Zafar turn against Zeher. Aladdin completely falls for Yasmine and always speaks of her for which Ginu & Anghuti Chaap tease him. Aladdin is shocked to know that Yasmine was the Sultana of Baghdad. He saves her and realizes that she is his real love and life partner.

Aladdin tells Yasmine about Zafar and his wicked plans. He then brings Zarina, a scorpion to finish Zafar's powers and restore the memories of Baghdad's citizen. Zarina bites Zafar and all the memories he had taken away is restored while she is killed by Zafar. Aladdin is reunited with his mother Rukhsaar, his brothers Anghuti Chaap and Ginu and his love Yasmine. Aladdin and Yasmine pretend to be irritated by each other but in reality are madly in love with each other. Together they trick Zafar to confess his crimes in the Kudrat-Ki-Kacheri (Court of Nature). Zafar twists the truth and is forgiven by Kudrat-Ki-Kacheri. He reveals to Aladdin that he knew his plan of making him confess the truth.

After lots of hurdles Zafar and Zeher are captured and jailed. Yasmine is proclaimed the Sultana-e-Baghdad while Zafar and Zeher plot against Rukhsaar. Zafar and Zeher manage to escape. They make a new plan, of visiting Sheherzaadi, the daughter of the Kala Jinn. They capture Aladdin and send his duplicate, Haider to Baghdad who casts a spell on Rukhsaar, Anghooti-Chaap, and Yasmine and leads them to a cliff. Ginu saves them and Aladdin escapes from Sheherzaadi's captivity and then saves Rukhsaar, Anghooti-Chaap, Yasmine and Ginu from Haider. Aladdin killed Haider. Later, Yasmine confesses her love to Aladdin. They both get engaged. Zafar tells them that a meteorite will soon crash in Earth and that can only be stopped by the black lamp. So the three are off to get the black lamp. There the protector of the black lamp turns Aladdin into an 80 year old man, who will die by the sunset and on the other side, Zeher makes Anguthi Chhap her slave, but he sacrifices himself to free himself from her slavery so that he doesn't do further crimes.
