Benkiyalli Aralida Hoovu (ⓘ transl. The flower that bloomed in fire) is a 1983 Indian Kannada-language drama film directed by K. Balachander and produced by Chandulal Jain. It revolves around Kavitha (Suhasini) who wonders when she will have time to live her own life, as she is too busy taking care of her mother, siblings, and her alcoholic brother's family. It was the Kannada debut film of Suhasini.
The film is a remake of Balachander's Tamil film Aval Oru Thodar Kathai (1974). Kamal Haasan, who played a major role in the 1974 film, played a guest role here. Suhasini won the Filmfare Award for Best Actress – Kannada for her performance.
