Synopsis

Prathapa Varma (Saikumar) is a rich man in Dubai who has a son named Manu (Bala), but he also has an adulterous relation with a lady in Mumbai, Janet, with whom he has another son named Alexander (Mohanlal). In his will, he has bequeathed all his wealth to his Alexander. If Alexander dies, then 40% of Prathapa Varma's wealth will go to his relatives Prathapa Varma (Siddique), Ravi Varma (K. B. Ganesh Kumar), etc.; 30% goes to Manu; and the remaining 30% goes to a trust. If Manu dies, then 100% will go to the trust, so the relatives decide to kill him, while Manu decides to go and meet Alexander and get the power of attorney from him so that he can get all of Varma's wealth, and then either kill him or get rid of Alexander. However, to their surprise, Alexander is in a mental rehabilitation center under the treatment of Dr. Korah (Nedumudi Venu). Eventually, over time, Manu realizes that his brother has unique abilities, which he grows to accept. He starts becoming fond of his half-brother. The story then progresses to show how Manu brings Alexander to Dubai. After reaching Dubai, the struggles that Alexander face form the rest of the story.
