Plot

The plot follows Aladdin, a kind-hearted thief, as he falls in love with the courageous Princess Yasmine, befriends the wish-granting Genie of the Lamp, and battles the wicked Zafar and later the lamp's creator, evil enchantress Mallika.

Season 1

Mallika, a powerful and evil enchantress, plans to take over the world. Her servant Hassan, tricks her turning her into stone but then turns into a Genie and is trapped in a lamp.

500 years later, a boy named Aladdin is born in Baghdad. He is a kind-hearted lad. His biggest dream is meeting Princess Yasmine of Baghdad. He is tasked by the evil Grand Vizier of Baghdad, Zafar, to find a genie's lamp in exchange for gold coins, but gets trapped in a cave. He rubs the lamp and becomes the master of the Genie of The Lamp. He names the Genie as Ginu. Zafar tries to steal the lamp from Aladdin but fails.

Aladdin roams in the streets of Baghdad for a number of tasks. Princess Yasmine too roams around in Baghdad in ordinary clothes ensuring welfare of the citizens. They often clash into each other. Yasmine introduces herself as Sana. Initially, they do not get along well but soon they become friends and the two fall in love (Aladdin still unaware of her true identity).

Zafar finds the Genie Of The Ring. With his help, he finds Ginu and turns him evil. He kills Sultan i.e. Yasmine's father, framing Aladdin for the murder. Zafar betrays Genie Of The Ring. A heartbroken Yasmine, after revealing her identity, orders him to be buried alive.

Season 2

A year later, Aladdin is shown to still be alive. He finds Genie Of The Ring and discovers Zafar's crimes. He vows to seek revenge and takes up the name Ali. It is shown that his father saved him before being killed. Ali and his Genie find two more genies – Jinee Minee and Chand Changezi along with a treasure.

Back in Baghdad, Yasmine has become cold-hearted. Ali comes to Baghdad pretends that he is a businessman, not Aladdin.

His plans of exposing Zafar are foiled. While everyone considers Aladdin guilty, first Aladdin's cousin and later Yasmine acknowledge his innocence. Yasmine becomes her earlier self and decides to help Aladdin. Aladdin and Yasmine confess their love to each other. Together, they turn Ginu back to his good form and Aladdin is reunited with his mother.

Zafar finds out Ali's truth. With his sister's help, he sacrifices Genie of the ring and captures the other genies of Aladdin. Aladdin gets his Genies back and steals the lamp with his family's help. Together, they bring Zafar's crimes in front of Baghdad. Zafar and his sister escape at the inch of time and Zafar sacrifices himself to revive Mallika.

Season 3

A month later, everyone of Baghdad is celebrating and Aladdin proposes Yasmine for marriage. She accepts the proposal. Mallika comes to Baghdad, disguised as Yasmine's faraway aunt, and blocks Genies' powers.

She announces their engagement and plans to turn everyone in Baghdad into Genies. But she has to find a weapon, which Omar had stolen from her. She is unaware of the fact that Omar is Aladdin's father. While she plans to get her weapon back, Ginu suspects her.
