Release and reception
The film had a theatrical release across Tamil Nadu on 11 November 2011. A reviewer from entertainment portal 'Behindwoods' noted "everything about the film is on a mediocre level. The story and screenplay are complete let downs. The camera work is highly inconsistent and the music is just passable. It is one of those movies which make you restless right from the start to finish." Critic Rohit Ramachandran of 'NowRunning' wrote "'Naan Sivanagiren' is a deformed offspring produced by the interbreeding of 'Katradhu Thamizh' and 'Anniyan'", concluding it was a "feeble effort". A reviewer from 'DesiMartini' wrote "for a movie which was supposed to be an edge of the seat psycho-thriller, there should have been an element of suspense spiced up with a racy screenplay. The suspicion element was broken even before the story started to unfold while the screen play limped every now and then halting the proceedings."
The film took a poor opening at the box office and underperformed commercially. The lead actor, Udhay Karthik, later appeared in films including Bala's 'Paradesi' (2013) and the unreleased 'Ivaluga Imsai Thaanga Mudiyalai', which was shot in 2017. The director, Gnanasekar, later changed his name to Disney and made the film 'Irumbu Manithan' (2020).
