Alexander the Great

“Alexander the Great” - the latest movie from Mohanlal is a simple and soft movie to watch. This movie is much different from other movies, where the hero is alone with no pairing and romantic sequences. Mohanlal plays the title role of Alexander who is little abnormal but very much intelligent, such that he memorizes anything by just reading it once. Though the story line is common in many of the malayalam movies ( like a rich father, who after death reveals his WILL document that this property should be given to his son but this relatives wants it, so they try to kill him and finally the son succeeds and gets his fathers property), in this movie too,a rich father played by Saikumar in Dubai, has a son (Bala) but he had illegal relation with another lady in Mumbai and they have a son (Alexander - Mohanlal), in his WILL he has written all his wealth to his son Alexander, now if Alexander dies then 40% of Saikumar wealth will go to his relatives (Sidique, Ganesh,etc) and 30% goes to Bala, 30% to a trust, otherwise everything goes to Alexander alone. SO the relatives decided to Kill him, and Bala decided to go and meet Alexander and get legal power from him so that he Bala can take the wealth. BUt for their surprise, Alexander is in mental rehabilitation center under the treatment of doctor Kora (Nedumudi Venu). Some how Bala brings ALexander to Dubai, after reaching Dubai what happened to Alexander , who got the wealth, all these are the rest of the movie.
