Twentieth Century) is a 1987 Indian Malayalam-language action thriller film directed by K. Madhu, written by S. N. Swamy and produced by M. Mani.
In the film, Sagar alias Jacky, a maverick youth, runs a gold smuggling racket with Sekharankutty, the son of the Chief Minister Inchakadu Ramakrishna Pillai.
Sagar alias "Jacky", a maverick youth, turns to gold smuggling due to financial situation and inspiration from the media glorifying the Bombay underworld.
Pillai demolishes Jyothi's place, but Jacky threatens him and demands to build those houses.
Writer S. N. Swamy got the idea for the film from a photograph featured in an English-language Sunday magazine published from Calcutta.
Swami recalled in an interview that it was the time when mafia bosses had a glorified image in the country after the national emergency period in India (1975–1977).
That was the time when public began to learn about Bombay-based mafia leaders such as Haji Mastan, Yusuf Patel, Varadarajan Mudaliar among others.
