Fury) is a 2011 Indian Tamil-language martial arts film written and directed by newcomer Gokul .

Produced by R. B. Choudary, the film stars his son Jiiva and Shriya Saran, with Sentrayan, Jayaprakash and Lakshmy Ramakrishnan appearing in supporting roles.

A young Shiva (Jiiva) is trained in the ancient Indian martial art Kalaripayattu by his grandfather (Prakash Raj) to be bold and brave and fight against all odds, especially all that is evil.

Shiva gets arrested by the police after fighting with a law student named Guna (Chaitanya Krishna), who is in Gowri's (Sentrayan) gang.

Enters Priya (Shriya Saran), who is a law student and also the daughter of a police official (Babu Antony).

Things take a turn when Shiva goes to the bus stop with his friend to pick up Ramanujan's (Sathyan) father.

One song from the film was shot at France, Germany, Italy, Holland, Spain, Portugal, UK, Ukraine, Japan, Thailand.

Reportedly, some portions of this film was re-shot after Jiiva's previous venture Ko became a huge success.

The actress was at the shooting spot when the first shot was on and debut director Gokul instantly felt that she was the one who could carry off the role to perfection.

[6] The film's score and an extra song in the climax was composed by Mohanji, who later worked on Vidiyum Varai Pesu and Mugam Nee Agam Naan.

"[8] Pavithra Srinivasan of Rediff gave a score of 2/5 and stated that "The problem with most Tamil debutant directors trying to ape trend-setters like Mani Ratnam, Sasikumar, Gautam Menon, etc.

And when the end product is also supposed to be an old-fashioned masala in a new tetra-pack, even the fact that the hero is someone who can actually act, can't save it.

This is pretty much the problem that afflicts Super Good Films' Rowthiram (Fury), written and directed by Gokul".

[9] Malathi Rangarajan from The Hindu said "You understand Gokul's urge to conceive things differently even within the commercial format.

When this issue was brought to Jeeva's notice he decided to shorten the film's length after discussing it with director Gokul.
