Poovarasan is a 1996 Tamil drama film, directed by Gokula Krishnan, starring Karthik and Rachana Banerjee in lead roles. The film, produced by M Gafar had musical score by Ilaiyaraaja and was released on 9 August 1996.

Ukrapandi (Vijayakumar) ordered to Govind (Goundamani) to kill his baby to save his wife's life after consulting an astrologer. Govind give the baby to Sudalai (Chandrasekhar) and ordered to kill him. 25 years later, Poovarasan (Karthik) was recruited by Govind to work. Poovarasan and Kaveri (Rachana Banerjee) fell in love each others. One day, Poovarasan saved Senadhipathy (Radha Ravi).

Sinrasu, Senadhipathy son and Sundari, Ukrapandi's daughter were in love. Their parents agree for the marriage. Before the marriage, Senadhipathy reminds to Ukrapandi his stinging humiliation and orders Ukrapandi to do the same thing. He refuses so the marriage are cancelled.

While Senadhipathy's son was getting married, Poovarasan stopped it and he took him to marry Sundari. The village's chiefs decided to exonerate the new married couple and to teach a lesson to Poovarasan. Poovarasan must walk on ember with naked feet.

An old man, pretending to be Poovarasan's father, is recognised by Govind. Sudalai didn't kill the baby and the baby was in fact Poovarasan. Senadhipathy wanted to revenge and sent henchmen to kill Ukrapandi's family. Finally, Poovarasan saved them but died by a gunshot.

The film score and the soundtrack were composed by film composer Ilaiyaraaja. The soundtrack, released in 1996, features six tracks with lyrics written by Vaali.
