Irupatham Noottandu (transl. Twentieth Century) is a 1987 Indian Malayalam-language gangster film directed by K. Madhu, written by S. N. Swamy and produced by M. Mani. It stars Mohanlal, Suresh Gopi, and Ambika. The film's music was composed by Shyam. In the film, Sagar alias Jacky, a maverick youth, runs a gold smuggling racket for Sekharankutty, the son of the Chief Minister Inchakadu Ramakrishna Pillai. Jacky and Sekharankutty's relationship stains after Sekharankutty brings narcotics into the business.

Irupatham Noottandu was released on 14 May 1987 and enjoys a cult following in Malayalam cinema.[2][1] It was remade in Kannada as Jackey (1989) and in Telugu as 20va Sathabdam (1990). Suman and Ambareesh reprised Mohanlal's role in the Kannada and Telugu versions, while Devaraj portrayed Suresh Gopi's role in both versions. A sequel titled Sagar Alias Jacky Reloaded was released in 2009.
