Parthen Rasithen (English: Saw Admired) is a 2000 Indian Tamil romantic thriller written and directed by Saran movie starring Prashanth and Laila in the lead roles, While Simran played the antagonist. The film music was composed by Bharadwaj. The film was remade in Telugu as Naa Manasistha Raa with Meka Srikanth, Soundarya and Richa Pallod.

Shankar(Prashanth) is a graduate of BSC nautical science, waiting for a job in the shipping industry. He is a tenant in the house of Banu(Simran), who is his good friend and confidante. They spend almost all their time together and she seeks him out as a refuge from her step brother Panneer(Raghuvaran), whom she dislikes but is forced to live together with. Shankar falls in love with Sarika(Laila). She reciprocates but problems and misunderstandings plague their romance.

Initially Nandita Das and Simran were considered for the role of Bhanu. Saran first offered the script to Simran and she wanted to play the character since she had never played a villainous role before. Simran participated in a screen test and was confirmed for the role after she got good feedback from Saran.Laila was selected to play the other lead after Saran was impressed by her performance in Rojavanam.

The music has been composed by composer Bharathwaj and the title track still remains an all time favourite melody. The highlight of the title track is the beautiful mouth organ prelude by Mr.Venkatasubramaniam aka Kyaba of the Madras chorale group with great backing provided by ace Bass guitarist Keith Peters and the lead vocals by Yugendran Vasudevan Nair. The lyrics were written by Vairamuthu. For the first time Prashanth lend his voice for a soundtrack.
