Solution

Aluminium is a metal and a good conductor of electricity. So yes, the aluminium foils will act as connecting wires - connecting one strip with the positive terminal of the cell and one terminal of bulb and connecting the other strip with the negative terminal of cell and other terminal of bulb will allow the current to flow in the circuit which will glow the torch bulb.
