Set against the backdrop of a mysterious rainforest, Dattapaharam brings together adventure, mythology, philosophy and ecological reflection. Mahesh and his friends, whose names echo the Pandavas, venture into the forest in search of Freddie Robert, a friend and guide who vanished months earlier. Their journey becomes a deeper exploration of identity, isolation, discovery and what it means to be human.
