The team of ALADIN is ecstatic. The film has been granted a U certificate, something which reaffirms film maker Sujoy Ghosh's claim that ALADIN is a wholesome family entertainer that would appeal to kids and adults alike.

The film was shown to Censors this Wednesday and they were more than happy with what they saw.

Confirms Sujoy, "Yes, ALADIN has been given a U certificate. In any case, this was always expected since there is no violence, nudity or obscenity in the film.

This was always meant to be a family film and our vision was in that direction from Day 1.

Even though the basic essence of ALADIN comes from the children's tales that we have heard for decades, the narrative has been spiced up to gain enough attention from adults as well."
