Jaffer, a savage warlock, longs to conquer the world. Through his friend Yakub, he learns about a magic lamp that grants any wish by the genie imprisoned inside and it is stationed at Korakaram caves. To achieve it a young & energetic man who holds seven moles on his righthand is required and Jaffer finds out the person is Aladdin. Right now Jaffer makes Yakub dumb also forges a statue as Sitara meets Alladin by purporting as his paternal uncle, and propels Alladin towards the caves. After making an adventurous journey, Alladin achieves the lamp, in his return, Jaffer asks to hand over the lamp to which he refuses, so an angered Jaffer locks him inside the cave and quits. At that time, Alladin uses the magical ring given by Jaffer for emergency and arrives home. Thereafter, he narrates the actuality to his mother Fathima as frightened she throws away the lamp which is buried in their backyard.
Time passes, and Alladin falls for Bagdad Sultan's only daughter Yasmin, one night, he secretly enters the fort but is caught by the soldiers and the Sultan punishes him severely. Looking at her son's pain Fathima approaches Sultan and pleas to couple up Princess with Alladin then Sultan challenges Alladin to gain amass wealth equal to him. At that juncture, Alladin finds the old wonder lamp while Fathima is cleaning it the genie is released and Alladin turns into a big wheel when Sultan lives up to his promise and espousals Alladin & Yasmin. Here, unfortunately, Jaffer discovers that Alladin is alive, so, in a disguised form, he steals the lamp, imprisons Yasmin, and pulls back Alladin's wealth. At present, Alladin moves in search of Yasmin, with the help of Yakub lands at the fort and spots that Jaffer is threatening Yamin to fulfill his lust. Then, trickily Alladin recoups the lamp, eliminates Jaffer, and bounces back to Bagdad. At last, the Sultan handovers the kingdom to Alladin and he sets the genie-free as it may not be misused.
