500 years later, a boy named Aladdin is born in Baghdad as the only son of Omar and Rukhsar. He is a kind-hearted lad. His biggest dream is meeting Princess Yasmine of Baghdad. He is tasked by the evil Grand Vazier of Baghdad, Zafar, to find a genie's lamp in exchange for ten thousand 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 the welfare of the citizens. They often crash 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 is still unaware of her true identity).
Zafar finds the Genie Of The Ring. With his help, he finds Ginu and turns him evil and erase all of his past memories. 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 to bury Aladdin alive in a short square closed room without any opening and sand-filled in it.
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 Omar and chacha bulbul saved him before being killed, later his father is killed while saving Alladin. Ali and his Genie (Anguthi chhaap) find two more genies – Jinee Minee and Chand Changezi along with the treasure.
Back in Baghdad, Yasmine has become cold-hearted. Zafar turned her into a parrot with the help of the genie of the lamp. Ali comes to Baghdad and after proving his identity as Ali, cures Yasmine.
Aladdin, as Ali and with his genies' help, foils Zafar's evil intentions. He haunts Zafar as Aladdin's ghost but his plan backfires. 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 intends to reach Mallika with the help of Son (Gold) Minar. But Aladdin and Yasmin stop him with the help of Atish-e-Aftab which they get from the Sultana of Misr.
Zafar finds out Ali's truth. With his sister Zeher's help, he destroys Genie of the Ring in his main motive to reach Mallika and captures the other genies of Aladdin. Aladdin gets his Genies back. But Zafar still has a lamp and Ginu. Zafar gets to know about Ginu's truth that he has recovered his memory and is now with Aladdin. Then Zeher gets an idea to reach Mallika by melting Ginu's lamp and get it's Paara but later Aladdin gets successful in getting Ginu back. Yasmine, Aladdin, his family and all bring Zafar's crimes in front of Baghdad. Zafar and Zeher escape from the jail after the punishment and Zafar pretends to sacrifice himself to revive Mallika and throws Paara in the lava.
A month later, everyone in Baghdad is celebrating and Aladdin proposes Yasmine for marriage. She accepts the proposal but Mallika disguised as Yasmine's relative arrives and plans for destruction by using the Devil's Dagger which Aladdin's father, Omar had hidden. The Genie of the Ring is brought back to life by Ginu using Zeher's poison. Mallika turns Aladdin's mother into a genie who is captivated in a bracelet and persuades Aladdin to bring the three parts of her Devil's Dagger. So, Aladdin and his genie disguised as Sheikhs go to Zeher seeking help but Zeher recognises and attacks them. In the fight, Aladdin unknowingly unlocks a prison from which a lookalike of Zafar comes out and helps Aladdin. He introduces himself as Faraz, Zafar, and Zeher's younger brother. He decides to help Aladdin and they, at last, collect all three parts of Devil's Dagger using which Aladdin kills Mallika and his mother is brought back to human form.
Faraz is then revealed to be Zafar who returned to take revenge from Aladdin along with his sister, Zeher. Zafar, using the Dagger, becomes the most powerful in the World. He blackmails Aladdin by using Omar to get a box kept in hell. Aladdin and Yasmine decide to go to hell and they reach the desert where Zafar is waiting for them. They go to hell. Meanwhile, Anghuti Chaap sees a vision in the prison that Aladdin and Yasmine fall in the lava. He tricks Zeher and breaks away from the prison. He reaches Baghdad searching for both of them. Aladdin and Yasmine after reaching hell watch Omar (Aladdin's father) being punished. Then, they kill a deadly beast. They take the red box and give it to Zafar and in return, he frees Omar from punishment. Aladdin tells Omar that the real red box is with them not with Zafar. Omar safely sends the real box to a safe place. However, Zafar, being much more powerful, knows that he can blackmail Aladdin and Yasmine to bring that box back. Omar, knowing that the duo (Aladdin and Yasmine) can bring the box back, pushes them into lava, killing them, so that the box cannot be brought be back to Zafar. Omar kills himself too while Zafar uses a spell that erases the memories of Aladdin and Yasmine from the minds of Baghdad's citizens including Rukhsar and Gulbadan. Zafar captivates Jinu and Anguthi Chaap back in their respective lamp and ring and throws them away.
