'''''Bettada Hoovu''''' ({{trans|Mountain Flower}}) is a 1985 Indian [[Kannada]]-language film directed by [[N. Lakshminarayan]] and produced by Parvathamma Rajkumar. The movie is based on popular novel ''What then, Raman? (Pinneyo Rama?)'' by Shirley L. Arora. ''[[Deccan Herald]]'' rated the film #1 among the best "children's movies in Kannada".<ref>{{cite web|title=Ten children's movies in Kannada|url=http://www.deccanherald.com/content/642671/ten-childrens-movies-kannada|publisher=Deccan Herald|accessdate=30 March 2018|date=14 November 2017}}</ref><br />

== Plot ==<br />
The movie is about Ramu ([[Puneeth Rajkumar|Master Puneeth]]), a boy from a poor family, living in a hill station. He likes going to school, despite his family situation not being in favor. He is fond of reading Kannada books. He cultivates friendship with a health worker, who teaches him English. <br />
He has one ambition; to purchase a ten rupee ‘[[Sri Ramayana Darshanam]]’ written by [[Kuvempu]]. Due to off-season where tourists go back home, his family situation becomes dire and his dad moves to the city to earn for the family, leaving the responsibility of the house to young Ramu. Ramu is forced to stop school to get money for his family. He starts earning money doing little chores around the village. He saves a part of his earnings towards buying the Kannada book. He starts selling wildflowers (hence the movie title) to an American botanist, who is writing a book on Indian wildflowers. He earns ten rupees, enough to buy the book, when he brings an orchid flower to the botanist. However, when he goes to buy the Ramayana book, he has a rethink. He has to make a decision about whether to buy a book or buy a blanket to protect his family members from the chilling winter cold. In the end, he decides to get the blanket, much to the happiness of his family. But then his dream of buying the book is shattered.<br />
