<span class=normal>2009<BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>Aladin was a huge commercial disappointment of 2009. Starring Amitabh Bachchan as Genie - The Genius, the film saw quite some flak coming for the Senior Bachchan. Too long in the making, the film was not even given an opportunity to make any choice, let aside being rejected, and the result was a box office failure. For Amitabh Bachchan, this was a huge setback since he featured in the film in an author backed role. <BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>For son Abhishek too, 2009 didnt quite start off well, what with Delhi 6 turning out to be one of the biggest disappointments of the year. Hyped beyond expectations, especially since it had Rakesyh Omprakash Mehra coming behind the camera after Rang De Basanti, Delhi 6 was ridiculed by most and saw a big slump in collections after a good opening. The films disappointment hurt Bachchans a lot since it was a solo starrer for Abhishek. </span>
