Thotti Jaya is a 2005 Indian Tamil-language action film[1] written and directed by Durai and produced by Kalaipuli S. Thanu.

On her way back home by train, Brinda starts admiring Thotti Jaya's niceties and gradually falls in love with him.

When she expresses her desire, Thotti Jaya reciprocates her love, and both decide to enter into wedlock, but little does he know that Brinda is actually Seena Thana's daughter.

Durai wanted Jeevan to play the lead role and also conducted test shoots with him, but the director was not impressed with his performance, so he replaced him with Silambarasan.

Yuvan Shankar Raja, who was first signed as the music director, composed the song titled "Indha Ooru" for the film.

[9] Sify wrote "Silambarasan?s Thottijaya?s premise is promising and interesting in the first half but later it peters out as a violent film reduced to a staple 'masala' formula.

The story is reminiscent of Satya in the first half but Dorai lacks sheer grit and the film ends up as a stock revenge drama with mindless action and item numbers".

"[11] Malathi Rangarajan of The Hindu appreciated the cinematography but criticised the story for lacking newness and added, "The screenplay of the first half of `Thotti Jaya' is refreshing.
