==Critical reception==<br />
<br />
Rohit Ramachandran of Nowrunning.com rated it 3.5/5 stating that "Aachariyangal's got a sophisticated plot that's narrated with due simplicity and directed with candid straightforwardness."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nowrunning.com/movie/11207/tamil/aachariyangal/3861/review.htm |title=Aachariyangal Review - Tamil Movie Review by Rohit Ramachandran |publisher=Nowrunning.com |date=2012-08-25 |accessdate=2013-04-23}}</ref> Malini Mannath of [[The New Indian Express]] concluded "Aachariyangal is a fairly enagaging [sic] fare from a debutant maker, who has made an effort to strike a different chord."<ref>{{cite web|last=Mannath |first=Malini |url=http://newindianexpress.com/entertainment/reviews/article591379.ece |title='Aachariyangal' (Tamil) |publisher=The New Indian Express |date=2012-08-20 |accessdate=2013-04-23}}</ref> Times of India gave 2.5 stars out of 5 and wrote "if Aachariyangal works to a certain extent, it is mainly because of the inherent what-next suspense that the plot holds".<ref>http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/regional/tamil/movie-reviews/Aachariyangal/movie-review/15753380.cms</ref> Behindwoods gave 1.5 out of 5 and wrote "Aachariyangal might not make your day but it has its trump cards lined-up just when you feel like brushing it away".<ref>http://behindwoods.com/tamil-movie-reviews/reviews-2/aug-12-04/aachariyangal-review.html</ref><br />
<br />
The film went unnoticed commercially and resulted in a major loss for Harshavardhan, which he later admitted in 2018 on a video uploaded to his [[YouTube]] channel ''Showpepper TV''.<br />
