Poonthottam

Poonthottam (English: Garden of flowers) is a 1998 Tamil action drama film directed by Kalanjiyam. The film features Murali and Devayani in the lead roles, while Raghuvaran, Manivannan and Vijayalakshmi play other supporting roles. The film, which has music by Ilaiyaraaja, released in July 1998.
Production.
Director Kalanjiyam chose to re-collaborate with Murali and Devayani, who he had worked with in his first film "Poomani" (1996).
Release.
The film won positive reviews upon release, with a critic from Indolink.com noting it was "a soft and sentimental movie largely playing with human emotions, but ineffectively supported by screenplay and direction." The presence of bigger budget film releasing in the same period meant that the film went largely unnoticed at the box office.
