Production



The film's debutant director Prabhu Jeyaram stated that he tried to talk about the issues in the caste-based society from a neutral perspective. The film was made in a new format, known as a 'duplex movie', meaning the first half and the second half are two different films. Actors were seen playing different characters in the second half, but the two stories will come together in the end. The director linked the format to K. Balachander's 'Oru Veedu Iru Vaasal' (1990).

The film is about the trained archakas of all castes, and released at a time when the Tamil Nadu government had appointed 24 trained archakas of all castes at the Hindu temples maintained by the Department of Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments. Prabhu met Mariasamy, the first non-Brahmin temple priest, and gathered a lot of information about the changes.

Release



The film was released on 29 October 2021 on the streaming platform, SonyLIV. A critic from Times of India noted that the film was an "earnest but simplistic conversation on caste and reservation" and gave the film a positive review. In contrast, a critic from the New Indian Express noted "the film aims for the skies, but the convoluted writing ensures that it never rises above the ceiling". A critic from Sify stated that "Overall, 'Yennanga Sir Unga Sattam' is a good watch for the topical second half of the film. However, an urgent trimming is required in the first half".
