ACT 1

Act 1, Scene 1: Introductory Scene (Ali is getting ready for the day)

Narrator1:

In a small flat, within the city's embrace,

Young Ali lives, with dreams to chase.

His twenties have brought up a brand new start,

And he readies himself to play his part.

Narrator 2:

At dawn's first light, his excitement unfurls,

His heart set aglow as the city sleeplessly whirls.

For on this fine day, he takes a bold stride,

Embarking on a journey where hopes reside.

Narrator 3:

Beside him stands Zeenat, his mother so dear,

Her love, her support, always crystal clear.

In this bustling city, where stories take flight,

Mother and son, united, despite their plight.

ALI: (Excited, to himself) "This is it, the big day."

(ZEENAT, a caring and supportive mother, enters the room with coffee. She watches Ali with a mix of

pride and concern.)

ZEENAT: (Smiling) "Ali, are you ready for your first day at Agrabah Consultancy?"

ALI: (Grinning) "You bet, Mom! I can't believe they hired me as a hacker. It's the opportunity I've been

waiting for."

ZEENAT: (Touched) "I'm so proud of you, Ali. You've come a long way from your days as an influencer."

(ALI, looking at his past with a hint of regret, nods.)

ALI: (Reflective) "Yeah, it's time for a fresh start. I want to use my skills for good now."

(ZEENAT hands ALI a packed lunch and kisses his forehead.)

ZEENAT: "Take this, Ali. It's your first day; you need your energy."

ALI: (Gratefully) "Thanks, Mom. I promise I'll make you proud."

(ZEENAT looks at her son with a mother's love and wishes him well.)

ZEENAT: (Emotional) "I know you will, my dear. You see, Allah has shown you the way. You are definitely

going to become rich and successful.”

(They share a heartfelt moment, and ALI heads out the door, leaving behind his old life as a cyber thief.)

SONG

Act 1, Scene 2: At the Office

(The office at Agrabah Consultancy Services Ltd. ALI, dressed in business attire, walks into the office for

his first day. He spots Jasmine, who is working diligently at her desk.)

ALI: (Whispering to himself) "Wow, who's that?"

(After taking a moment to compose himself, ALI continues walking and heads to his desk, where ABU,

his friend and coworker, is already seated.)

ABU: (Excited) "Ali! You're finally here. How's your first day going?"

ALI: (Still a bit awestruck) "It's going well, Abu. I just saw the most incredible person."

ABU: (Curious) "Oh? Who are you talking about?"

(ALI nods in the direction of Jasmine, who is focused on her work.)

ALI: (Enthusiastic) "Her. (points at her) I couldn't take my eyes off her when I walked in."

ABU: (Amused) "Well, Ali, you're in luck. She's not just a colleague. She’s Jasmine. She's the CEO's

daughter, and she's working here to assert her independence."

ALI: (Surprised) "Really? That's even more intriguing. I'd love to get to know her."
(ABU smirks and nudges ALI playfully.)

ABU: (Playful) "Well, my friend, if you're that taken with her, you should go introduce yourself. Who

knows where this might lead."

(ALI considers it for a moment, then looks back at Jasmine with a determined expression.)

ALI: (Determined) "You're right, Abu. I'm going to talk to her and see where it goes."

(Office setting with colleagues dancing)

Act 1, Scene 3: Jasmine Proposal

(In the office, ALI is trying to work up the courage to approach Jasmine. He finally musters the

confidence to strike up a conversation.)

ALI: (Nervously) "Okay, Ali, it's time to make a move."

(ALI approaches Jasmine's desk with an awkward smile.)

ALI: (Flirting) "Hey, Jasmine, did it hurt?"

Jasmine: (Confused) "Did what hurt?"

ALI: (Smirking) "When you fell from the cloud server, because you must be an angel hacker."

Jasmine: (Chuckling) "Oh, you're quite the charmer, Ali."

(ALI, feeling more confident, continues.)

ALI: (Teasing) "And I noticed you're not using Linux. I'm guessing you're more of a Windows girl?"

Jasmine: (Playful) "Well, I like a little variety in my operating systems."

(As they banter, ALI pulls out a flash drive from his pocket.)

ALI: (Grinning) "I have some top-secret files that need decrypting. Think you're up for the challenge?"

Jasmine: (Playing along) "I suppose I can make an exception for a fellow hacker in distress."

(They both share a laugh, and their playful exchange lightens the atmosphere in the office.)

ALI: (Sincerely) "But on a serious note, it's not every day you meet someone as intriguing as you,

Jasmine."

Jasmine: (Smiling) "The feeling is mutual, Ali."

(ALI and Jasmine continue their playful conversation, getting to know each other better.)

3 hours later

ALI: (With a smile) "You know, Jasmine, I think we make a pretty good hacking team."
Jasmine: (With a mischievous grin) "I agree, Ali. But we should probably test our compatibility on

something bigger than a flash drive."

(ALI, feeling a sudden rush of boldness, takes a deep breath.)

ALI: (Nervously) "Jasmine, there's something I've been wanting to say."

Jasmine: (Curious) "Go on."

(ALI kneels down as if he’s going to propose)

ALI: (Determined) "Jasmine, will you hack into my life and be my partner in code, my fellow explorer of

the digital world, and maybe, just maybe, my companion in the real world too? Will you marry me?"

(Jasmine is surprised and touched by the proposal. She takes the headset, pretending to inspect the

holographic ring, and then asks with a playful tone.)

Jasmine: (Teasing) "Ali, this is all very sweet, but I have to know, are you rich enough for my father's

expectations? You know, he's the Chairman of this company, Mr. Raja, and he'll expect his daughter's

husband to be well off."

ALI: (Playing along) "Oh, absolutely! I've got a trove of bitcoins buried somewhere in the digital desert."

Jasmine: (Giggling) "Well, then, how can I refuse such a tempting offer?"

(ALI and Jasmine share a laugh)

Act 1, Scene 4: Jafar's Revelation

(In Jafar's spacious office at Agrabah Consultancy Services Ltd, Jafar, a calculating COO, is seated at

his desk, watching a live feed of the office on his computer. LOCHAK and MOCHAK, his henchmen,

stand by his side.)

LOCHAK: (Whispering) "Sir, look at that. Ali and Jasmine are getting quite close, aren't they?"

MOCHAK: (Whispering) "It seems like Ali's stealing the spotlight."

(Jafar observes Ali and Jasmine with a shrewd expression.)

Jafar: (Quietly) "Ah, Ali... it's time you returned a favour to me."

LOCHAK: (Curious) "Sir, if you don't mind me asking, why did you hire Ali in the first place? Isn't he a

threat now?"

Jafar: (Sly smile) "Lochak, Mochak, there's more to Ali than meets the eye. Back in the day, he was quite

the online influencer, known for his hacking skills. But what others didn't know was that he pulled off a

GPay scam on me, cheating me out of a considerable sum."

MOCHAK: (Surprised) "Wait, you hired him despite that?"

Jafar: (Nodding) "Indeed. Ali is a talented hacker, and I decided to keep him close, not knowing he'd end

up working here. He owes me, and now it's time to collect what's due."

(As Jafar continues watching Ali and Jasmine, his determination to use Ali for his own schemes becomes

evident.)

Jafar: (Smirking) "This time, Ali, you'll serve my interests, and there's nothing you can do to change that."

The 3 exit stage with an evil laugh

Ali is engrossed in his work on a project.- FREEZE- the narrators do the foreshadowing

Narrator 4:

In hushed tones, we caution Ali, so sincere,

About Jafar's cunning plan, drawing near.

"Be wary," we whisper, "for danger does loom,

In Jafar's wicked plot, like the slowing monsoon.

Narrator 5:

With promises lustrous, he's cast a dark spell,

To hide your past deeds, he schemes very well.

But beware, dear Ali, the path you now tread,

May lead to darkness, where hopes are misled.

Narrator 6:

For in shadows, he lingers, like a cunning old fox,

Jafar's motives concealed, beneath hidden locks.

To protect your own virtue, your choices must be sound,

In this critical endeavour, where trust can't be found."

ACT 2

Act 2, Scene 1: The Plot

Ali is engrossed in his work on a project. Code scrolls across his computer screen as he meticulously

types away, fully focused.

The door to Ali's office suddenly swings open. Jafar, a senior manager at the company, strides in with a

stern expression. He approaches Ali's desk, causing Ali to pause and look up, surprised.

Jafar

(whispering in a conspiratorial tone)

Ali, I think it's time we had a little chat.

Ali's eyes widen in concern. He knows Jafar has the power to influence his future at the company.

ALI

(nervously) Sir, what's this about?

Jafar leans in closer, his voice low and threatening.

Jafar

(slyly) I know all about your past, Ali. Your days as an influencer, your... less than legal online activities.

You wouldn't want the company to find out about that, now, would you?

Ali's face pales as he realises the gravity of the situation. Jafar has the upper hand, and Ali's job is

hanging by a thread.

ALI

(alarmed) How did you find out?

Jafar smirks and leans back, crossing his arms.

Jafar

(whispering) Let's just say, I have my ways of knowing things. But here's the deal, Ali. I can protect you,

keep your job safe, and even send you onsite. I can make you very rich. Rich enough to impress

Jasmine too…

Ali is torn, his mind racing. He knows he can't afford to lose his job, but Jafar's proposal is ominous.

ALI

(uncertain) What do you want from me?

Jafar leans in closer, a glint of cunning in his eyes.

Jafar

(whispering) There's a deserted building outside of town. In that building, there's a mainframe system. I

need you to hack into it and gain entry for me. Do that, and I'll make sure your future here is secure and

prosperous.

(Ali weighs the options, the weight of Jafar's ultimatum pressing down on him.)

ALI

(in a defeated tone) Okay, I'll do it. But you have to promise me, Jafar, that you'll keep your end of the

bargain.

Jafar smirks, satisfied with Ali's compliance.

Jafar
(ominous tone) You've made the right choice, Ali. Trust me, this is just the beginning of a very profitable

partnership.

As the room darkens with their secret agreement, the two men exchange a nod, sealing a pact that will

lead them down a perilous path.

Act 2, Scene 2: The Mainframe

Under the cover of darkness, Ali and Jafar arrive at the eerie, desolate building on the outskirts of the

city. The building stands as a shadowy silhouette against the dimly lit horizon.

ALI

(nervously) Are you sure this is the place, Jafar?

Jafar, with a hint of impatience, nods. He hands Ali a device, the key to his task.

Jafar

(gruffly) This is it, Ali. You go in there and gain entry to the mainframe. I'll wait right here.

Ali takes the device, eyes wide with apprehension, and slowly approaches the building's foreboding

entrance. The creaking door looms before him, a gateway into the unknown.

ALI

(whispering) I hope I can do this.

As Ali steps inside, the rusty door suddenly slams shut behind him, the sound echoing through the empty

hallways. He tries to open it, but it's locked.

ALI

(panicked) Jafar! What's going on? Why did you lock the door?

Jafar, wearing a sly grin, steps back, holding a remote control.

Jafar

(calmly) I can't trust anyone, Ali. Now, you're on your own there. Impress me, and you might get out.

Ali's heart races as he realises he's trapped inside the eerie, abandoned building. Jafar's insincere

promise echoes in his ears.

ALI

(urgently) Jafar, you can't leave me here!

Jafar turns away, a look of irritation on his face.

Jafar

(dismissive) You should have thought of that before. Now, prove your worth or die in there. I do not care.
(Jafar walks away, leaving Ali to fend for himself, isolated in the heart of darkness. The tension mounts

as Ali faces the daunting task of hacking into the mysterious mainframe system, uncertain of what

dangers lie ahead.)

Act 2, Scene 3: Genie Intro

NARRATOR 1:

In a chamber dim, with shadows cast and deep,

Alone, young Ali takes a daring leap.

In a hurry, his quest, like a secret wish,

He breaches the fortress, taking a big risk.

NARRATOR 2:

Rows of servers, ancient, silent and still,

Their tales of data held within the chill.

Dust and cobwebs shroud, their secrets old

Around Ali, with fingers quick and bold.

NARRATOR 3:

With Jafar's device, the keyboard as his steed,

He rides into the code, with agile speed.

A digital dance, a race against the night,

To unlock the secrets, hidden from plain sight.

ALI

(concentrated) I have to do this. There's no turning back now.

With each line of code he types, Ali inches closer to his goal. Suddenly, a holographic interface

materialises before him, flickering to life like an apparition. It forms the image of a Cyberdjinn, a digital

genie with a mystical aura.

CYBERDJINN:

Hello! I am Cyberdjinn, a genie of the 21st century.

Born from dreams encoded in twilight's code.

In binary, I reside, where data flows unseen.

I hold three wishes, woven from bits and bytes.

Share your heart's desire, and I'll paint it in pixels.

Within these circuits, your thoughts shape destiny.

I'm here to serve, whisper your commands in the digital wind.

In the realm of electrons, your dreams come alive,

Bathed in the shimmering light, they take flight.

(Consider Genie in a Bottle with rewritten lyrics here to keep the musical spirit)

Act 2, Scene 4: The three wishes

ALI

(intrigued) 3 wishes eh… Prove it. Grant me a wish. I’m hungry… Get me some food…

CYBERDJINN: (With a confident tone)

Cyberdjinn: "As you wish, Ali."

The Cyberdjinn extends a glowing hand, a web of code appearing between its fingers. It sends a

command into the digital world.

ZOMATO DELIVERY GUY: Zomato delivery for Ali from Thalapakattu Biryani…

ALI

(amazed) My favourite Biryani? How...?

CYBERDJINN: (With a serene smile)

Cyberdjinn: "Through the code, wishes are brought to life."

Emboldened by this demonstration, Ali ventures further.

ALI

(resolute) Open the doors to this accursed place. Let me out!

With a flick of its holographic hand, the Cyberdjinn materialises a set of massive doors. They swing

open, revealing the moonlit night beyond.

CYBERDJINN: (With a graceful gesture)

Cyberdjinn: "Your wish, master."

Ali steps outside, liberated, and gazes at the starry sky, a newfound realisation dawning upon him.
ALI

(ambitious)

I want to be rich, Cyberdjinn. Wealth beyond measure. So I can impress Jasmine and her father.

The Cyberdjinn nods, its form shimmering with renewed purpose.

CYBERDJINN: (With a glint of magic in its eyes) (LED display: his bank balance increases and stocks

and bitcoins in green)

Cyberdjinn: "Your wish, my dear master, shall set you on a path to riches untold."

Act 2, Scene 5: A Whole New World

NARRATOR 4:

With the Cyberdjinn's magical sway,

Money flowed and overflowed Ali’s way,

His fortune, once humble, now vast and grand,

A wealth that could make heads turn all o’er the land.

NARRATOR 5:

In sleek cars and tailored attire he's dressed,

As an NRI, his path now blessed,

With confidence and charm, he stands tall,

Ali seeks Jasmine’s hand, in front of all.

NARRATOR 6:

To her father, Raja, he pays a call,

With riches that could make kingdoms fall,

His love for Jasmine, his heart's delight,

Asks for her hand, under the starry night.

Ali, now adorned in his finest attire, stands before Jasmine, his eyes filled with adoration.

ALI (smiling) Jasmine, I promise to show you a whole new world, one beyond your wildest dreams.

JASMINE: Oh Ali! I want to travel the world with you… I want to travel through time with you.

Song: A Whole new world (Aladdin movie)

EXT. THEATRICAL TIME TRAVEL - OLD VERSION OF ALADDIN

NARRATOR 1:

In time's sweet embrace, they travel through skies so pale,

Into the olden times, the two set sail.

To the lively bazaar, they see the bustling chase,

Through the market's wild chaos, in a frantic, bustling space.

Aladdin and trusty Abu feel the searing heat,

As guards pursue them through the crowded street.

Amidst the city's alleys, the pure-hearted street thief persists,

Stealing for survival, not wealth, in a world where poverty persists.

NARRATOR 2:

Aladdin's mother, watching worriedly near,

With furrowed brow and anxious fear,

Jasmine strolls by, in the market's grand view,

Unaware of the chaos, as she passes through.

Meanwhile, Jafar, with a shrewd, calculating eye,

Observing the scene, his intentions awry.

In the bustling marketplace, where tales unfold,

A captivating story of treasures and secrets untold.

A grand stage is before them, and a scene from Aladdin is being enacted.

Jasmine

(amazed)

It almost feels like I know these characters!

ALI

(Laughing) Yes yes… C’mmon now… Let's switch to the present!

In time's embrace, they ventured forward fast,

With a final burst of light, Ali and Jasmine return to her living room. Their hearts are brimming with the

enchantment of their journey.

ALI

(whispering)

Jasmine, our world is vast, and it's filled with wonders we've yet to discover. Together, we can explore it

all.

Jasmine

(smiling)

Ali, you've shown me a world beyond imagination. I can't wait to explore it with you.

ACT 3

Act 3, Scene 1: Jafar Fights Back

Ali and Jasmine are reveling in their newfound experiences when, unexpectedly, a dark and malicious

presence envelops the room. The Cyberdjinn's radiant figure dims, and a malevolent energy takes over.

Jafar

(smirking) Ali, you really thought you could control this digital genie?

Ali and Jasmine are taken aback, their joy turning to unease as Jafar steps out of the shadows.

ALI

(defiant) Jafar! What have you done?

Jafar

(mocking) You were always so naive, Ali. You thought you could be rich, impress Jasmine, and get away

with it. Well, you'll amount to nothing.

Ali's fists clench as he stands protectively in front of Jasmine.

ALI

(determined) I won't let you harm her!

Jafar, with a wicked grin, makes a chilling threat.

Jafar

(smirking) Oh, but I can, Ali. I have control of the Cyberdjinn now. And I'll use it to take over the company

and marry Jasmine.

ALI

(angry) Cyberdjinn, why are you with Jafar now? You were supposed to be my ally.

The Cyberdjinn, its ethereal form flickering with conflict, responds.

CYBERDJINN:

(pensive) I am bound by code, Ali. I must obey the one who holds my digital chains.

Ali, his frustration growing, argues his case.

ALI

(defiant) You granted me three wishes!

CYBERDJINN:

(plaintively) Yes…in reverse order, - your wishes were to become rich, get out of the building and eat

Biryani…

ALI:

(angrily) That first one, the food order, that was just a trial. You can't just abandon me now.

The Cyberdjinn's glow wavers, and it speaks with a hint of remorse.

CYBERDJINN:

(sincere) I understand your frustration, Ali. But my powers are now under Jafar's command. I am bound

by the digital laws that govern me.

Act 3, Scene 2: The Big Fight

Ali: Jafar!!! You’re standing here bravely only because you have cyberdjinn. You’re an old bag of bones,

wicked to the core. Can you win me in a game of my choice, without magic, without the cyberdjinn?

Everyone looks surprised

Jasmine: I think that’s correct… a true challenge for you Jafar… win my hand fairly and I’ll gladly be

yours.

Jafar: angrily… fine. I can win at anything you come up with…

Lochak: Boss….nooo

Mochak: Yeah yeah… it’s a trap! Don’t agree to it!

Jafar: We’ll see… I’m better than this Ali. I will definitely win. Tell me Ali… wha’s the challenge?

Ali: Sabaash… seriyaana potti! Let’s have a reality show… Cyberdjinn… you can be the gameshow host!

Cyberdjinn (Dressed as a hip host): Hey there, party people of Agrabah Consultancy! It's time to bring

some modern flair to this company. Welcome to the "Ultimate Clash of Styles'' contest! Let's meet our

fierce contestants: the groovy Ali and the villainous Jafar!

In the first round, let’s have our contestants show us who can be the most viral by creating a

Ali, what do you have for us.

Ali: I can run real good. Runs like Naturo.

Cyberdjinn: Ok... that was interesting. Jafar.. What do you have for us?

Jafar: I don’t have many talents. I can touch my nose with my tongue.
Cyberdjinn: (Looks impressed.) Wow…. that’s an impossible talent. I think we have our winner for this

round. Ali, while you scored only 30 points in this round, to score a tally of 80 points, Jafar you’ve taken

the lead by scoring 40 points in this round. Your scoreboard is now at 85 points!!

I can’t imagine who will win this contest. We just have one more round left. I have goosebumps! See…

Lochak and Mochak look shocked

Cyberdjinn: Jasmine… Audience… our winner is Ali!!! How do you feel after winning, Ali?

Ali: (Talks like Sachin) Actually… I feel great ha… it was a team effort haan… Ella pugalum iraivanake…

Jasmine punches some keys into Cyberdjinn and takes control over him.

Jasmine: You are now under my control.

Cyberdjinn: You have three wishes madame… what can I do for you?

Jasmine: I only have one wish… everyone gets on the floor and dance!! Let’s have a fiestaaaaaaa!!
