Douthyam (transl. Mission) is a 1989 Indian Malayalam-language action thriller spy film directed by S. Anil Kumar^[1] and written by Gayathri Ashokan. The film stars Mohanlal, Suresh Gopi, Parvathy, and Babu Antony. The film attracted media attention for the action subject as the script was done by the poster designer Gayathri Ashokan.

Douthyam tells the gripping story of Captain Roy Jacob Thomas (Mohanlal), a courageous and determined army officer who is called upon for a critical mission. A military aircraft has crash-landed deep in the remote forest, carrying sensitive documents and a team of soldiers, including his fellow officer and friend, Captain Suresh Nair (Suresh Gopi). With time running out and enemy forces closing in, Roy is sent in alone to rescue the survivors and retrieve the classified material.

What begins as a mission quickly turns into a brutal test of survival. Roy must navigate dense, unforgiving jungle terrain while facing real dangers, from wild nature to armed enemies. The forest becomes a living, breathing threat, where every step is uncertain and every sound could signal danger.

As Roy battles exhaustion, ambushes, and impossible odds, his sense of duty is constantly tested. But underneath his soldier’s resolve lies a man driven by loyalty, friendship, and an unshakable will to protect his comrades. The journey pushes him to his physical and emotional limits, turning his solo mission into a deeply personal fight for honor and survival.
