Desadanam (English: Journey to wisdom) is a 1996 Indian Malayalam language musical drama film directed by Jayaraj.

The pain of imminent separation from their only child has been beautifully portrayed by the characters played by Vijayaraghavan and Mini Nair.

The boy who led a carefree life until now has been identified as having a deep understanding of religious philosophy and scriptures at a very young age by the priests of a holy shrine.

The parents, though not keen on parting with their child are compelled to give in on the basis of the word given by the elders of the family.
