Release and reception

Abhinav Subramanian of The Times of India gave 2/5 stars and wrote "Aaragan is a confusing film. The story itself is rather convoluted, and you often find yourself wondering where it’s all headed." A critic from Dinamalar praised the realistic romance in the film while criticising the graphics and confusions in the ending of the second half. Virakesari appreciated the background music, art direction, cinematography and editing, saying the film's first half gives a great experience to the moviegoers but the second half gives a familiar experience.
